I the past when I've gone to this show, one day was for shorthairs
and the other for long. Do you know which day is which?

Hi Deb,
Yes, longhairs and shorthairs will be shown on both days. One year
this club did a specialty show separating the hairs - this year
they are mixing the hairs each day. Hope this helps.

How about another try at getting together?
I *am* going to go (too close to pass up!), but not sure just
when. Probably Saturday mid afternoon or Sunday afternoon.
Anyone showing cats? Then we can look for you.
I've met a few noters at previous shows, but there are many more
to meet...

Yes, I'm showing two - Yurii & Lara - the numbers on the cage will
be 402 (Lara) and 451 (Yurii). I'll be there both days. Cage drapes
are hot pink! Hope to see you there.

| 627.5 | Some basic questions? | TOKLAS::FELDMAN | PDS, our next success | Thu Jun 18 1987 20:24 | 21 |
Could someone explain some of the mechanics of a cat show? I
understand the basic parts of the evaluation -- looking at the body
shape, head shape, coat color, etc. It's all the mundane aspects
I find confusing.
How many times does a given judge see a given cat? Does a cat
initially compete in just one category, until they narrow it down
to Best of Show? Or can a cat be competing in more than one category
simulataneously? Does a given just look try to look at all of the
cats in one category simultaneously? or do they divide them into
batches, and then bring back the best of the batch to make the final
decisions?
Most importantly, what do all those strange numbers that the judges
put on the cages mean? The one time I went to a cat show, I'm sure
I saw the same numbers being put on more than one cage, which made
little sense to me, and I was totally unable to make any connection
between those numbers and the announced rankings of the cats by
the judge.
