Kitties - have you been to a TICA or ACFA show where Bengals are shown? If not, that's a good place to learn what makes a Bengal show quality. And also reading a good Bengal book.
When I got my Oci, I also picked up an Ocicat book and read it cover to cover. Then read the standards in CFA and ACFA (which is the same). My biggest problem was that Charlie was usually the only Oci and had to listen to judges compliment him on points if they finaled him or when judging.
I learned what makes a better Ocicat so that when I picked out my next one, I knew what I was to be looking for (knowing Charlie's faults and strengths)
