Cat shows all across the North American continent to Europe, has been around since the 19th Century first found by Harrison Weir, also known as ‘The Father of the Cat Fancy’ ever since the very first cat show Weir presented at The Crystal Palace in London, 1871. The modern day’s star veterinarian, Bruce Fogle, (husband of the actress Julia Foster, FYI) stated in his 2002 publication “">Catalog,” CFA ( The Cat Fanciers’ Association) and TICA (The International Cat Association) as the major players among cat shows.
In CFA’s case, in order to register for a show, the usual regulations are special originality and rareness of the breed, the purpose being protection of inheritance of a breed. So far CFA has registered 39 pedigreed breeds ranging from pure blood breeds, mixed ‘hybrids’ to DNA mutated breeds such as the folded ear ones we all wuv. Looks aside, personalities are also carefully judged and put on the show for a healthy competition.
