Several weeks ago I was asked to be a stand-by judge for the domestic
section at a show held in the next town to me - I thought why not the
chances of the visiting Australian judge not doing it was very remote -
wrong.

The Club decided that the Australian judge should stick to pedigree's and
that I would do the Domestic's - now there is a standard that the pedigree
cats must conform to but with the domestic's it really is a matter of
personal choice - so long as the cat is well groomed, good temperament,
looks loved and carries no live stock you are free to make your choice.

The show is this Sunday - Purrs that I don't upset anyone!!

Good luck Lois, but not upset anyone!!!! Ho ho, unfortunately knowing
cat lovers as I do I suspect you will upset everyone but the winner -
they all want their darlings to win. I can remember cat shows I went
to years ago when the judge was judged instead of the cat :::)))

Probably a lot of fun! Have a great time but most important--keep that
sense of humor. That is most important.
(I raised animals before and entered a LOT of shows all up and down the West
Coast of the US, and I found that a judge with a sense of humor was enjoyed
by everyone--winners and losers.) Enjoy!!

Hi Lois,

You'll be OK if you say really nice things about every cat and apologise for not being able to make
everyone a winner :^))

Have a great day.

Good luck, Lois! Sounds somewhat scary but fun.

Practice wonderful things to say about the losers and you have a chance.

Oh good luck - but no matter which cat you choose, *someone*
will be dissappointed - we all know *our* cats are the best!
