Not Everyone wants to be a Breeder!

The Canadian Cat Association also acknowledges the intrinsic beauty of the unpedigreed feline, and encourages household pet owners to show their cats in special classes.  

Household Pet Judging And Awards

Household pets are judged on health, condition, colour or markings and temperament.

Household pets must be 4 months of age or older.  Cats 8 months or older MUST be neutered or spayed but NOT DECLAWED. (Declawed cats may NOT be entered in any class in the show).  Household Pets will be judged in all rings.

Upon initial evaluation by the judge each household pet can be awarded either a 1st ribbon (red) or depending on the club - an Award of Merit ribbon (any colour).

When the judge has finished evaluating all the Household Pets, they will choose ten cats for final awards and rosettes.  Clubs are allowed to make additional awards to Household Pets such as the highest scoring Household Pet in the show (Best of the Best).

Household pets are scored for Regional Awards given at the end of each show season. It's fun, it's educational and you will meet many people who share your interest in cats.
