Cat Shows |
|||
Catshows always are a topic which is discussed quite controverse: And it is not so, that it is painful for cats to be at a show. most cats do like it- and if one of mine doesnt, well, i dont force her any longer when she managed to win the three certificates needed for FIFe-Championship. These she has to have for me - and during these three shows i get an insight how her character might be: shy, cool or outgoing. An agressive or shy cat shouldnt be seen at a show - and maybe, but this is just my opinion, she shouldnt be bred as well. I confess, I dont want to have a shy cat as well as I dont want to have one which doesnt be "within "standard in my breeding programme. The criteria a cat is shown are the standard of its breed , which is the ideal. The perfect animal would have 100 points and the higher a title the cat get the higher she has to come near this figure. once finished a title the cat is starting coolecting points for the next , higher one. I believe this to be a quite good system, because you can learn about the judge, yourself ; your idea of standard; your breeding and your cat,) – and a good judge will always just judge the cat, not the owner. Mostly it works- and for the rest, well this happens in every form of showing I suppose. The only place where you are not allowed to be seen with your cat is at the best in show- there only the stewards are carrying the cats on stage. And, well, as it is with this system.. it is quite often happening in a best of variety, where you stand with all the cats in your colorclass (and their respective owners) in a line to have the best animal chosen out of boys, girls and kitten, that I, a not really young and not very slender male are standing there with a tiny kitten on my hands and next to me is a tiny little woman with a full grown tomcat presenting him in full length;)) well..imagine it –or better not!;))
