Meet Chase! He comes from the same small cattery as me. Actually we are not directly related. He is related to Vana on his mom’s side, and I am related to Vana on her dad’s side. I don’t know what kind of relationship this means I have with Chase, if any. If any of you humans with big families have suggestions let me know!
Chase and his brother Obie (who you will see tomorrow) were at yesterday’s cat show. In fact, it was their very first cat show! My human helped carry Chase to and from the rings, and played with him a bit in between. Chase is really an outgoing kitten — by the third ring, he had decided my human was his new best friend and purred for her! He is making a very easy adjustment to cat show life.
Since he was so happy and friendly, I thought I would leave the selfie taking to him this week. So you get to see Chase’s very first selfie at his very first cat show!
Hmmm… that didn’t go to well. Well, he is only four months old. I’ll give him another chance.
That is better, but… well, it’s still pretty bad. He decided to lie still for a moment, so I let him give it another try.
What is he doing here? Why is he licking the show program? I may have to take the iPhone back if he doesn’t stop goofing around. He gets one more chance.
And… he got it! It’s a little fuzzy, but it’s pretty good for a first selfie from a four-month old kitten. Don’t you agree?

What a most handsome kitty!! He did well with his selfie!
He is just SO gorgeous! Can we take him home????
Sorry! In some of the photos, Chase looked blue instead of ruddy. I’d still love to have the little devil!
I have two ruddy girls I adore and I have always wanted a blue as well. Chase would be perfect. Total “Somali in training”. My first boy was a complete goofball. I really miss the big lug…he crossed the ‘Bridge’ in 2011.
Chase is very cute, but you are still the bestest Somali, Summer!
Summer,
YOO are the most beautiful Somali. Chase is a handsome dood, but YOO are the best!

What a handsome dude!
I think Chase was starting to get the idea. Maybe you could be his purr-fessional coach? Or maybe you could develop your own manual for pussycats just starting out in the “show” biz. Your advice would be so-o valuable to the kitty world, sweety paws.
Chase has some natural talent for selfies, it seems!

Chase has such an expressive face and we think he truly pulled off an A+ selfie at the end. It sounds to us as if you are probably cousins of some sort. Thanks for sharing this cutie pie with us for selfies. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
He sounds like he has a wonderful personality for a show kitten, and he’s cute as a button, too!
We’re pretty sure that kind of family relation is when you just say “distant cousins” and that’s close enough.
He’s so cute! Sounds like he’s fit a perfectly kitten personality 🙂
What a beautiful Somali boy!!! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s photo.

For a youngster, Chase did well with his selfie.
Well, he *is* cute. He seems to have a permanently startled expression–but maybe he’ll outgrow that when he’s older and wiser. And that is a pretty good selfie for a first-timer. And *YOUR* furs are EVER so much floofier and more interestingly shaded. Your family sounds like the Brady Bunch, Summer!
He is SO cute, and bound to be a star!
I can definitely see his relation to Vana! Like Vana, he has that “Little Lion” look to him!
He can climb up on me, and purr anytime!
Chase takes a great selfie.
You are an excellent teacher, Summer! Chase’s first selfie is awesome! And we think he us your “catousin”!
Purrs,

Oh, yes, that’s great selfie Chase took! He looks like a character. 🙂
As far as relationships go, we think it means you both have the same cuteness gene 😉
He did a good job on his selfie too. MOL!

He’s a cutie!!
Oh, we really like the close up even if it’s blurry. So adorable!
He is a cutie! It must run in the family. Chase will follow in the footsteps of his famous bloodline. Good luck Chase! Purrs
Chase sure did a good job and he sure will be a Cat Show hit!!!
Goodness, he is so handsome. What a good looking cat. Chase, we just know you are going to be a winner.
I have to tell you Summer. He is THE kitty that tops them all in the guest photos on your blog! That face and that little kitten body…oh my goodness. Mom just totally fell in LOVE! Seriously. He is IT!
Great selfie. He is stunningly handsome!
That last one was an excellent selfie and the other ones were too cute. It sounds like he’s going to do great in the show circuit as outgoing as he is. We don’t know anything about big families or does our human but it’s pawsome you are distant step cousins or something.
YAY, the young dude did very well. He is totally gorgeous in a kitten way, and has such wonderful ears and a delightful way about him. I am sure if he continues in the same vein, and like his family has, he will do very well in deed.
