My humble town..

Ok so today the trip is going to take you to my hometown right here in little Denmark. The pictures are gonna be mixed from seasons, days ect but I hope you will still enjoy them.


This first picture is taken on my street...I live a little futher up the hill.

This is our local castle...it's really pretty and a dear friend of mine took this picture..

This is the tower on it durring daylight...it has been burned seriously at least twice so part of it is newer than others..


Moving on to the newer parts of town. This is my favorite café. It's called The blue café, and its super nice. They make the best hot chocolate ever!!

This is a random alley downtown...our downtown is walking and biking only so it's pretty nice that you don't have to worry about cars while slepping around your bags.

This is a little canal going through our town...it's super nice to sit there in the summer. All year round it is the home for a lot of ducks and swans that everybody feeds and enjoys. They're really friendly and even the swans wants to be handfed.

This is one of the shoppingstreets. Again no driving of any kind.

This is a hotel downtown...if the picture had been a little more to the left you'd see our city hall. Twice pr. week there is a nice produce market here.

This is just a random building starting off the walking area.

Another one of our walking streets.


This is our city hall. I think it's rather pretty and I love that in the summer it's covered in a huge bush thing.

This is one of the oldest buildings left in town. It actually houses a nightclub and a mexican restaurent.

Another view of the brigde crossing the canal.

This is the only church in the downtown area...it're really pretty on the inside.

In the wintertime the water always comes up in the canal..on the really bad days you can't see the steps at all.

When the weather is like this, most people run to the mall and it's really easy to get all your shopping done downtown...no lines at all.

This house is in the center of my street...it's really cool and this picture doesn't do it justice at all. The flags are form my local grocerystore. Yup, it takes me 5 min to walk there. How nice i that??

A little space to sit and rest while on shopping


This is one of the sidestreets downtown..this one you're allowed to drive in, although as most streets downtown, it's a one way street and it's not fun to navigate this area.

This picture is taken from the hill the calste is on...

I know I have a lot more pictures from my town and I will add to this thread as I find them. Hope you enjoyed my hometown.

Bølle, the awsomely cute ferret living nex door.

This one is gonna be a little different from the other posts I've made..I'm gonna leave the pictures to speak for themselves. If you click on the pictures you'll see the real reason why I've posted them. This size really doesn't do them any justice at all.

What happens at a catshow!

OK so I thought I'd share a little bit about what to expect on a catshow. I took these pictures on a show I went to in Germany. I didn't have Milo then but the breeder I went with had a huge british shorthair, so needless to say, those are the ones that I will have the most pictures of.

In this first one another breeder (owner of Milos brother) is waiting her turn at the judges table. This judge is very well liked and he has an awsome way with the felines...even the fertile ones that can be a little cranky because of all the feline girls in heat.




On this day the judge had a student with him who wants to be a judge. He was explaining everything to her as he evaluated Didrik.




Here he's looking at his expression

When he is done with Didrik, he hands him over to the student, who now has a chance to "see" everything.

Yup he really is a handsome boy.


Now it's Ozzys turn. This is the cat who's slave I got to go to the show with. Here the judge is feeling his skull to see if it is shaped right. Ozzy is still a young man and will continue to develop over the next couple of years. Notice the massive cheeks he has...those are hormones.


Let me have a look at your legs and feet, so have a look at my fancy feather


When it is all said and done the judge explains the differences in Didrik and Ozzy, and of course Ozzy gets a little cuddle while that's going on.

The vote is in and between those two, Didrik is the winner on this day, so congratulations to him.

Now it's time for a tour around the cages to have a look at some of the other cats.

This one is a rex cat. I don't remember if it's at Devon or the other kind of rex cats. The owners is SUPER nice and I always meet them when I am around catshows. They're really sweet, and both totally in love with their cats, who on this day (and always) won everything she could.


This is some extremly cute kittens. Exotic and persian. They were soooo sweet.


and another one of the exotic


A sleeping beauty that wasn't in a photogenic mood


An aby cage with a human in it


And this one's for your Alex, this one was SOOOO sweet.



I think this is a bobtail or sibirian forrestcat, but i'm not sure.


A beautiful bluecreme british girl



Ozzy is hoping for a treat


At the end of the day we're all tired and ready to go home. I will be going to my next show on Sep. 1st, and will make sure to bring my camera so you can see what it looks like when you go to a danish show. Hope you enjoyed the pretty cats.
