  • It is designed to help visitors better understand and appreciate ALL cats. The first topic explains what the judges are doing, how they assess the cats, kittens and household pets in competition and what the ribbons mean. Visitors and New Exhibitors should not miss these presentations!
  • CFA Judges and experienced exhibitors will present talks displaying beautiful CATS as they explore the history of our earliest breeds, introduce several rare breeds, and display our newest breeds.
  • We will explore predictable breed personality traits and discuss how to choose a breed that matches the behavior you desire in a cat companion.
  • An expert will discuss how cats think and ways to “train cats”.
  • You will learn how to get YOUR cat into Household Pet competition as well as Feline AGILITY. Best in Show awards will be given to the highest scoring Household Pets and Agility cats.
  • Between all of the talks visitors can enjoy informal chatting with speakers and exhibitors, close up viewing and the chance to pet unique examples of popular and rare breeds.
