Setting Up for San Diego

Here I am at the San Diego Cat Show, a day early! My human and I stopped by the Del Mar Fairgrounds (where the show is) before going to the hotel. Whenever possible, we enjoy setting up the day before. Especially this show — my human is also in charge of the Somali breed booth this year.

So we were actually there for about an hour and a half. It was kind of a long walk from where we parked to where our benching area is. And there was a lot to bring into the show hall.

She had a problem with the breed booth materials. Usually, most of them fit into a big, suitcase-sized box that she puts into the trunk of her Mini. But this time, she had her own suitcase in the trunk since we are spending the night at a hotel. And there wasn’t room for the big box, me, and all my stuff inside the Mini. So she had to take everything out of the box and just stuff it where ever she could! At the moment, it looks like someone threw up glitter all over her back seat. It looks nice all set up, though.

The hotel room is another story altogether! My human loathes it. It is tiny, like so small that there’s no place for her to put the suitcase. There isn’t even a closet. She had to put the suitcase on the bed because there’s nowhere else. And the heater barely works at all. And — this is what really upsets her — there’s nowhere to work out! She is going to try some standing Pilates routine when we get back from the show on Saturday. There might be just enough room for that.

Oh well, next time we will find a better hotel to stay in. Meanwhile, I think this room is fine, really. It’s perfectly kitty sized! My human is just a whiner.
