I read recently that most cat shows have a division for housecats. What do they look for? Is it expensive? (Not that Willie would ever place...he's one fat kitty, and doesn't seem to have that imperious "cattitude")
they dont have a breed standard to go by. from what i have seen they go by health,condition grooming and a little of something special like a beautiful coat, color,markings,ear tufts,or a big personality.there are probebly other people who know more about it.
Some cat shows call it the "Morris Award". Overall health, coat quality and disposition are the usual criteria. The cat must be altered and not declawed.
Hey Willie, check out our Breeders Corner for info on showing cats. Two of our mods, Sandie and Imagyne, can answer your questions for you. They attend and organize shows.
And here's a ribbon for Willie, anyway. No doubt he's best in YOUR show!
WillieWZ - I've been gone for a little while...So, I'm trying to catch up with everything going on....So forgive me if you have already answered this question....Do you have some kitty pics posted yet?
