Tuesday morning, one of the
barns behind the grandstand of the Logan County Fairgrounds was the
purr-fect place to be if you love cats.
A group of young 4-H'ers gathered there to show
off their favorite felines.

Goodman Miller was the judge for the 4-H cat division on Tuesday
morning, along with Suzanne Maxheimer as superintendent.
|
Explaining how you care for your cat and the routine feeding and
handling, plus how you interact with your pet, all add to the overall judging
process. |
|
|
Some
cats let the judge look at their teeth, while others completely
refused.
|
Miller explains that she looks for cleanliness of the eyes, ears
and
teeth, as well as the temperament of the cat. |
|
Most
of the cats were not comfortable with the judging process... "Take me
home!"
|
There
were two divisions for cat judging, outdoor and domestic. Ruthie
Ruhl of Mount Pulaski won the outdoor category with her black cat,
Midnight.
Presenting the blue ribbon is superintendent Suzanne Maxheimer.

|
First
place in the domestic division was Ashley Zinser with her grey cat,
Pepper. One of the reasons Ashley won this very competitive match
was the
journaling and record-keeping she did about her care of her cat.
