Thanks both of you.

It was a lovely day and all the cats were absolutely gorgeous and so well behaved. I only have one more to go as Assistant Show Manager and then I will be a fully qualified Show Manager!!

There are some stunning cats there Kay, including Candice's Barney! Why do they call a couple of the groups "opposite sex" - seems a bit strange terminology to a non-show person like me!

The judges pick the Best Adult , Kitten and Neuter from the winners of the appropriate Imperial, Grand and Best of Breed winners. Depending on what sex those winners are the judges then pick the opposite sex for Best Opposite Sex. This years show had all Males as the Best in Show winners so the Best females in the three categories were picked for the Best Opposite Sex. The Overall winner is only picked form the Best in Show Adult, Best in Show Kitten and Best in Show Neuter.

This is not done in All Breed Shows but quite a few Breed Shows do it. Our show also has a Best in Show Non-Pedigree Household Pet Adult, Best in Show Non-Pedigree Household Pet Kitten, Best in Show Pedigree Household Pet Adult and Best in Show Pedigree Household Pet Kitten. A Overall Best in Show Household Pet is chosen from these four. Not all shows are this equal though in the HP section unfortunately.

How fascinating! It really looks like persian/exotic heaven

Kay - are there any shows 'down south'? I'd love to get along to one, maybe initially just to have a look and potentially with Myshka at some point in the future.
