No; only cats pre-registered may enter the show. There are rules our association has requiring specific vaccinations, health checks, etc. that cannot be investigated or enforced on spectators’ cats. It is as much for the safety of your cat as well as those cats competing.

Judging is a continuous format all day. All judges see all of the cats entered. Each judge hosts their own mini-show. There is no overall best of the best.
