What is the Cat Show?

It is an international competition where cats are evaluated according to official breed standards of the World Cat Federation (WCF).

It is not simply a beauty contest, as each cat is assessed based on structure, type, coat, condition, and overall presentation.

(It takes place over 3 days, with each day considered a separate competition).

Advantages

  • See a wide variety of cat breeds up close, including rare and exotic ones that you won’t usually find elsewhere.

  • An educational opportunity to learn about different cat breeds, their characteristics, and care requirements through breeders and experts.

  • Enjoy the competition atmosphere and watch the judging of cats based on approved breed standards.

  • Connect with cat lovers, exchange experiences, and contribute to supporting cat care efforts and promoting interest in them.

  • A perfect opportunity to meet certified breeders and discuss the details of cat breeds for those interested in acquiring a purebred cat.

Categories

  • Pedigreed Cats: Cats with official pedigree compete according to WCF rules.

  • Household Cats: Cats without pedigree can also participate and are judged based on condition, health and temperament.

  • Cats are entered into different show classes based on age, status and titles (for example kitten, junior, adult or neuter). Each class defines how the cat is judged and which titles it can achieve. For details on WCF exhibition classes.
