Oh okay, now that sounds like a dog show when showing more than one breed. Do I understand correctly though that any one cat may be shown in more than one ring (before more than one judge per day?)? That's what I was thinking of. Which would make it a lot more bang for the buck (more opinions per entry fee?!)! Is that so? Thanks for all the info!!

You do show them in ever ring unless its a sp ring that is only for certain breeds.
Here is some info for you.
This is for showing HHP in CFA.

Most shows have anywhere from 4-8 rings for the weekend. Most all shows will have 4 or maybe 5 rings on one day and the same for the next.
ACFA and TICA consider Saturday and Sunday as two "shows" since you can attend one day only or go for the entire weekend. Its cheaper to show both days then to show one. CFA requires you to attend Saturday and Sunday and splits the 6 or 8 rings in half; I've seen a few one day only CFA shows with 6 rings.
If you figure an entry to be $48 for 8 rings, its only $6 per ring!
When you show, you show once under every judge listed. In CFA they sometimes have a few rings less in HHP's and the cost would be a little lower. I feel that HHP's are just as good as pedigree cats and should have the same number of rings - CFA is the only one that does this from time to time, so read the flyer if you are showing HHP's.

That is really wonderful!!!! Way more bang for the buck. Sometimes dog showing feels like this: got ready for weeks, grew coat out, worked on quirks, got the right outfit, bought a new x-pen, this that and the other...drove six hours each way............then had our two minutes in the ring..and got dumped! And then it was over! LOL!!!! That's a bit of exaggeration...at least there are clusters (however there's an entry fee EACH DAY for ONE ring!)...so if one day stinks the next day may be your day to win...but I sure like the odds with several rings a day! I'm likin' that!!
You should show in HHP.
My friends do and love it.
Sometimes there is not enough cats and they cancel HHP.
They did that last time and my friend was disappointed.
You have a picture of the cat you want to show in HHP.

Hi, she is pictured here in this thread...Wellington posted her for me on the first page: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=198746
She is pretty.
You should how her in a show and she if she likes it.
Some cats do not like to be shown and some love it.

I had a great time at the show in Tucson. It was a 1-day show with 6 rings. HHP's were shown in all rings, so it was a pretty busy day. There were 25 entries in the HHP category! Some of them had been in so many shows the judges knew them by name. Anyway, my girls were up against some great competition. I posted their results in a new thread here.
Cali was absolutely terrified. I think she has prettier markings than Iris, but she will not be going to any more shows. I just can't put her through that again.
Goldy got 10th Best Cat in one ring, and Iris made 4 top ten finals. She ended up with two 10th Best ribbons, one 9th Best, and one 8th Best.

I'm going to keep socializing Gigi..taking her places, let trustworthy people handle her, etc....hopefully she'll have the right 'tude for show!
