I filmed the video at a cat show in Oklahoma about 4 years ago. I forget the exact date. Dana is carrying her champion, brown spotted Bengal cat, whose short name is KOPA while talking about him. His long name is “Bengal Manor Royal Kopa of Chalkmountain“. Cat breeders do create some amazing names. Kopa was about 10 months old at the time of the filming.
I quite like to see a cat breeder of a champion cat briefly talk about her cat. It is something you don’t often see. I am not sure why I didn’t publish the video four years ago! I think it was because I had made so many at the time that I had had enough.
You can see the vastness of the facility for the cat show and hear the noise. The place was noisy because it is large and the surfaces are hard. The sound bounces off the surfaces and echos. The noise is probably something that the breeders would like to see quietened down a little because it can’t be that good for the cats.
I remember it was a very windy day. There was a mast outside and it was making a knocking noise throughout. Oklahoma state is known as a windy place. Oklahoma City is the second windiest city in the United States.
This is a link to Dana’s website. You’ll see Kopa on the home page in another video of mine. This time he is being photographed by the Flicks. Kopa is a fine, bold Bengal cat. Or see the video in large format on PoC, here.

Yeah, you had a lot to deal with. I think you did really well considering. She did well too.
It’s just a little outtake if you like. I cornered Dana and asked her to talk about her cat. Great cat. The background noise is quite high, which is why I asked her to repeat herself!
Beautiful cat. Nice job Michael.
I’d be pleased to accept if it is offered.
