~Cat Shows~
Why would you want to get a kitten from a breeder who shows in CFA or TICA?
If a Scottish Fold, British Shorthair or British Longhair does well in the shows, it's because it's tail is flexible, eyes are big, bright and round, body large and healthy, it's free from parasites and it's overall health is robust! It's because that cat conforms to his or her breed standard and is beautiful, friendly and healthy. Many problems can arise from poor breeding practices! Be careful from whom you choose your new kitten. Someone who succeeds in the shows does that with healthy and sound cats! A Champion means very little in the cat world. Look for Grand Champions, Regional or National Winners and Distingished Merit lines.
Knowledge: A CFA or TICA "Champion" (CH before the name) means very little (unlike in the dog show world). Look for breeders with many Grand Champions (GC), Supreme Grand Champions (SGC--seen in TICA only) or Regional Winners (RW)!!
