This weekend was the craziest cat show I’ve ever been to! I think people were dying to come because this was the first time they’ve held it since 2020. First Covid made it impossible, then they couldn’t organize this huge show in time for 2022, because everything was still getting back to some sort of normal. In any case it was super packed! People were lined up almost into the parking lot to get in.
A lot of people came to see me. Like, I mean a lot! It was kind of overwhelming. My human had to restrict access to me! She set up a schedule where I came out every hour for about 15 or 20 minutes to visit. Then I went back into my enclosure and she covered me up. She even locked me up and left until my next appearance so people couldn’t try to see me earlier. It actually worked out well and was a lot less stressful for me. (For her too, because she stresses out about how not to stress me out.)
Back at the hotel, we went for a walk in the corridors and lobby, which is one of my favorite things to do when I’m out of town. We stopped by the business center for a few minutes.
We checked out the next morning, and my human loaded everything onto a luggage cart, something she doesn’t do very often. She even put my carrier on it.
My human thought things might be calmer for the show’s second day, but if anything, it got even crazier. All these people lined up to see me! It was impossible to see them all in just 20 minutes. My human finally had to tell people to come back in an hour so I could relax. And they did!
Some of my favorite parts were visiting with the kids, and my human made sure I was able to see all of them.
The other fun part happened late in the day. I got restless, hanging out in my enclosure for so much of the day, so my human put the leash on me and took me for a walk. The booth near us, YoPetMax, had some cool outfits, and my human wanted to see if any of them fit me. But at first, one of the vendor humans thought I might like to try out one of those big wheels you see cats running on sometimes. They had a few, and even though we went slowly, I really didn’t care much for this. So we went over to the dresses, and my human found one that fit. I was immediately happy! She set me on a table and I was immediately surrounded by people taking photos! I was totally in my element.
I was such a big hit that they gave me a second dress for an Instagram mention. My human got a couple of things from them earlier also, and I’ll be modeling them later in the week.
That was an exhausting weekend! But even if it takes my human a day or so to recover, I’m sure I’ll be back to normal Monday.

We dont like crowded places ourselves, but for those who love to been seen, we are glad the cat shows are getting started again. And we are not the least surprised that you were a favorite to see Summer! You are always a center of attention, so we unnerstand you needed time off every hour or whatever.
The attention you get from strangers would make us hide unner the bed for a day!
Oh what fun! I wish I could have been there & would have loved to meet you both in person. Still – so happy for the show’s success, nice to know I am not the only person missing connecting with cats and fellow cat lovers. Summer, you look fabulous in this darling white dress! I love all the photos from the convention- that line of fans was amazing- no wonder your human was overwhelmed. But it sounds like you both figured a way to manage it and the fans were so supportive. I also always enjoy your photos of exploring hotels. Thanks for the smiles!

Pretty Summer, you ARE a great candidate for a Makeship Plush campaign! I know that more than enough of us would buy your plush!
Summer what big fun. That last dress is absolutely gorgeous. You truly are a star
You sure are popular. Certainly was worth taking a lot
of different outfits. How nice you got a couple of new
dresses there. I liked seeing the line waiting to see you.
I love your new dresses! Sounds like a pawsome weekend. I would need at least a week to recover!
I would wait in a long line to meet you. All your outfits looked fantastic.

Your mama was smart to give you time to relax too.
Looking forward to your modeling session.
Good to hear you had such fun Summer!
I can see why your fans wanted to see you 🙂
You are such a good ambassador for your breed and cats in general 🙂
Purrs, Julie
Wow, Summer, you have become quite the celebrity.
That show really was a big success. It shows how much everyone has missed it and other events during the pandemic. Both of those dresses are lovely.
