Our club was organized in 2012,

with this picture summarizing
our intentions:
Our first show was in January, 2013.
We chose to make it a
New Year's Party . . .
For our second show in November
of 2013, we decided to have
a Thanksgiving party. As you can see,
we added a Pilgrim's hat to our logo
and began using QR Codes
for the first time.
Leo Dicaprio's film inspired us to use
The Great Catsby as the theme of our January,
2015, show. This time we tried putting our
logo in an old-fashioned bathtub, and
encouraging costumes among the entries.
Our fourth show was January 30-31, 2016,
celebrating St. Valentine's Day. For that,
we added a second logo as a love interest.
The Hello Summer Kitty Show was in June, 2016. For this, we dressed our Logo in a Hello Kitty outfit.
Our Sixth Show was our second Annual
Valentine Show. Despite a few members
having illnesses, it was our best organized,
smoothest running show so far.
Our Seventh Show, Summer
Holidays had a few changes. Our
Secretary, Vendor Coordinator,
sometime Assistant Show
Manager, and Catalog Artist, became our Entry Clerk.
In addition, we decided to
make our catalogue different, by
designing a more colorful, cover,
and nicer divider pages. (Of course, it would have been better
if I hadn't accidentally chopped ten years from the date.

When we planned Show #8, our third Valentine Show, we discussed adding spaghetti to our lunch menu, which led to a feline version of "Lady and the Tramp" on our cover.
The spaghetti idea never panned out, but our Catalog author did initiate a new idea: an interactive catalog with 26 QR links that can be read by the bar code reader of your mobile phones, leading you to playful and informative cat websites featuring music, products, medical advice, etc. |
For our tenth show, we were honored to be chosen by TICA to host The South Central Regional. We chose the theme "Starry Starry Night," and our Artist in Residence, Diane, researched Vincent Van Gogh's biographies and artwork so she could fill our catalog and flyers with Van Goghesque designs and color, while I contacted our logo's brother from Holland, Vincent Van Kitty.
