TIMAC in Crown Point, Indiana on November 29, 2008 |

All cats and kittens are given an entry number and judged within their classification. They are put into benching cages and wait for the judge to remove them and put them on the table. Then the stretching and fingers in our face begins. The judges compare the cats and kittens to a written breed standard. The judges then selects the top 10 from within a class: kittens, allbreed long/shorthairs, alters, and household pets to advance to the finals. Here the rosettes are awarded and points are earned towards becoming a Grand Champion and Quad Grand. By the way, a kitten is from 4 to 8 months old and then move into the adult class. The points earned by a kitten only go towards regional and international awards. |

Sahja’s Jenna, a chocolate tortie lynx point Oriental, was shown as a kitten and she was selected as one of the top kittens in five of the six judges rings. There were twenty three kittens entered in the show. Grand Champion Sahja’s Glory in the Morning was also shown and finaled as top allbreed cat in one ring and finaled in two other rings. Both ladies did very well and will be shown again at the Rock Valley Cat Club show in February. I am sorry I do not have any pictures of Morning being judged at this show. |
