Caturday Flashback – Portland

November 17, 2018 By: Summer Samba29 Comments

Somali cat relaxing on hotel bed

I was wondering what I was doing last November, so I went back to the photos from that month and this one was one of the first I saw! I sure remembered that hotel bed. It was in Portland, and I was there for the CFA International Cat Show as a Pet Me Cat. That was a big weekend for me!

This is only a view of the “Meow Mall,” where all the vendors were! Behind them were all the benching areas for the cats competing and it was massive!

I had a benching spot too, when I wasn’t up front greeting people as they came in.

Here is my Meet and Greet area where I got to sit and show myself off.

I also had a few outfits to wear, and I did lots of tricks for everyone! Since it was so close to the holidays, I dressed up in festive Christmas gear.

That was an exhausting weekend! I must have greeted hundreds of people! But I had an amazing time.

    Summer, we are not sure we have ever seen you sleeping like that. You look so cozy. That place was huge. Did you get to walk around on your harness. You could have easily gotten your “steps” in for the day. MOL! XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer

    That was a nice flashback. You could get a job as a bed comfort tester for the hotels.

    If there ever was a recommendation for a good nights sleep, I think you are it, Summer. That bed looks so comfy I am just having to go and check mine now. Though to be fair, I am nowhere near as active as you are in the entertainment industry. MOL

    You are really brave to actually enjoy that large open
    building with so many people around. That last
    picture shows you are really tired after that busy
    day. You must have a lot to tell Binga and Boodie after
    you come home from a show.

    There is nothing better at saying,”Happy Holidays” than red velvet with white fluff! You were so pretty that day. Is one of your events coming up this weekend??
