Poly Maine Coon congress, 28th April

This weekend the poly Maine Coon congress was held during the Cats and Tulips (TICA) show in Asperen (NL). There were 5 rings in New Traits, one of them was the poly Maine Coon congress judged by Kurt Vlach (he did the last 3 poly congresses; in 2008, 2009 and now in 2012).

He pointed out that the 3 important things he judges the poly Maine Coons on are:
1. Type, 2. Grooming, 3. Temperament. He told us that through the years he has seen the polys improve in type. And this was the first time he said out loud, that he loves the polys! We love you too Kurt.

The final was between Dynamicats Lets Get PP Loud (left) and Galaxy P de Redland (right).
Kurt asked their owners to present their cats, and tell the public why the other cat should win?
So they did, and.......he almost changed his mind ;-) But at that moment he decided...
