Do you notice anything different about the Somali breed booth from my Friday set up? My human wound up moving both me and the breed booth! For some unknown reason, they placed me at the far end of the cat show hall from where I really needed to be. Fortunately, there was room to put me in the row closer to the front of the hall. Moving all the breed booth stuff, and my show stuff, was a pain, but it was definitely worthwhile.
Here was my set up for when I wanted to come out and meet people and do tricks. Can you believe this was my sixth San Diego Cat Show? The first two, I was still competing. (In fact, I got my Grand title at my first one!) The next three, I was a Pet Me Cat, and this one I’m officially an Ambassador Cat!
It was a very cold weekend, so I wore my new puffy jacket. Don’t worry, I’ll officially model it too.
I also wore my raspberry hoodie. I’ve worn more glamorous clothes in the past, but I think mostly people just want to pet me and see me do tricks, so I went in for comfort instead. And I did meet lots of people! In fact, quite a few of them already knew me, either from social media, or from past cat shows — more than ever before. I drew all sorts of crowds both days. My human did her best to answer questions about Somali cats, and about me in particular.
I briefly got to go out on my leash Sunday afternoon. That was nice because I couldn’t get much exercise in the hotel room. Not only was it small, it opened to the outside, so there were no hotel hallways to walk in.
While I was out and about, of course I met some people.
When I got tired, I just hung out and made happy paws on my bed in my enclosure. I also let people pet me there, and I did lots of high fives.
I was very tired by the end of both days! These shows are fun, but they are also a lot of work. I was glad to get home to my big house and working heater (and so was my human).

I LOVE that Hoody!!!!!
The puffy jacket is so cute! It was really cold here, so you would have frozen if you came!
Both of your outfits look FABULOUS Summer……it must be exhausting being a STAR !
Hugs, Teddy
I love your raspberry hoodie, the puffy jacket is very fetching. I love the pic of you in your bed sleeling. So precious
Whoa! I thought there was another cat laying with you in that last pic. I think they need to give you the key to the city of San Diego.
You always have such fun adventures, Summer!
Love your raspberry hoodie!
I love that last picture of you!
Looks like you had great fun Summer!!!
You are a pawsome ambassador for the Somali breed too.

Purrz!

Missed you in Portland, but glad you had fun in San Diego!
You’re welcome in the Pacific Northwest anytime, Pretty Summer!
Summer, there is NO WAY that you’re old enough to have been to six of these shows! You look like a kitten to me!
I think your outfit choices were perfect.
there was a cat show in st. paul this weekend. how could you possibly choose San Diego over St. Paul?
Sounds like a busy but fun weekend!
You look very spiffy in your role as ambassador for
the Somali breed. I REALLY like those two sparkly
half cat face masks hanging at the top of your
booth – haven’t noticed them before – very nice. You
are such a hard working cat!
PS Did we say Dad got us Binga’s Calendar? It is awesome
Summer you really look like you stole the show. We sure hope we can meet you some day
It is really hard to believe that this was your 6th show sweet Summer and you sure looked like you were having fun being a SuperStar!
Love the stroll photo with the tail shot! You look like you worked so hard but but made lots of people happy!

My goodness Summer, you work and work, but I know you love every second.
What another fun, but tiring, show for you, Summer.
You did great! I love your puffy pink jacket. Sorry about that hotel room, that didn’t sound very comfy.
That was one really cool display. Mom noticed the cat masks, she just loves them. She actually has a couple herself. They are for display only she says. And wow! That pink jacket looked awesome on you too honey. What a wonderful time. You are one popular kitty. Great pics! Purrs
The sixth one? That is almost impossible to believe! It looks like you had a fun time.
#1 wanted to say that she would have loved nothing more than a visit from you whilst she is in hospital!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
I am glad you had a good day at the show with lots of visitors coming to see you.
I’m glad you and your Mom had a good time at the show!
Looks like you had a fun day!
