This is a completely honest question from someone who didn't even know there were cat shows until about two years ago.
I know about finding a fantastic dog breeder, their COE, proper puppy rearing, showing, titles, etc.
I was wondering what is involved in cat breeding and showing, is there a COE, health screening? I actually have no idea what goes into cat breeding and would love to hear about it! (no, I'm not interested in doing it myself).
The only cat breeders I've known have disgusting practices that I'm sure can't be the norm. I was a dog groomer for 9 years, and the business owner bred Scottish Folds on the side for extra money. Her practices were so terrible you couldn't give me one of her cats, let alone expect me to pay money for it.
I would like to learn how it SHOULD be done, if anyone can spare the time.
