JOANNE SEGGIE COVENTRY AND LEICESTER CAT CLUB 24 FEBRUARY 2018 Thank you to Lesley and Georgina for inviting me to judge at their lovely show - it s always a nice show with a lovely friendly atmosphere and a great lunch. Thank you also to my lovely friend Nicola Hutchinson for stewarding for me - we had a lovely day together and she handles the cats beautifully, I did have to prize a couple out of her hands! The show hall here is quite big and open which seemed to make some of the cats, particularly the babies, feel a little nervous but largely with a bit of cuddling and reassurance they relaxed and began to enjoy their day.
