This week, I will talk about a cat show I went too. A cat show is not like a dog show. A cat show is not about how many tricks your cat can do. Instead, it’s more like a beauty contest. Several judges look at your cat and judge him/her against other cats. Depending on how good your cat does, they can move on to the next round.
The cat show I went to was on St.Patricks day. My mom and I had to wake up early in the morning at around 6. After getting ready we left the house at 7am. The worst part of the day was probably the ride. Even though I like Darcy a lot, she can very noise. She probably meowed for most of the time during the ride.
By the time we got to the area where the show was hosted, it was already 10. There wasn’t much I had to do in terms of setting up. After I got the food and chairs, I sat down for most of the time. Before the first judging, I was just playing on my phone. During the first contest, we didn’t do so well and got 6th place. In the next round, we did a bit better. We ended up getting 3rd place in the same category as the last judging. In a cat show, there are multiple categories. In this cat show, Darcy participated in the long hair kitten category and the all breed category.
After a few more long hours it was time for third judging. We again did do that well. The upside though was that it was an all breed judging. Besides the fact the all breed kitten category contains all kinds of kittens, it also awards more points. In cat shows there is also a point system. At the end of the year, your cat can receive rewards depending on the amount the points you obtain at every cat show you participate in. After, another long wait we when to the last judging of the day. However, the results would be released at the end of the show. That meant we had to wait for another full hour. When the results got revied we got 3rd place for an all breed kitten category.
Overall, the cat show was really fun. However, I don’t think I would want to do another one. The ride felt very long and there is nothing to do besides play games. In the end, the experience was fun but I wouldn’t do it again.
