I have some questions about showing. I have been to one as a spectator and will again in June. I may be interested in showing my new baby if s/he is worthy. I understand a lot of what goes on but not everything.
I understand that there are different rings, how do you know what rings to go in. Do you automatically go in them based on registration or do you have to register for them individually?
If you go to a show do you ever get all you rings done in one day? Or are you expected to be there for both days?
Your cat has a registered name and a call name. Do you go to the ring when they announce the name of the ring or do they call the cats name? Which name do they use?
How are the cats identified in the ring? I am assuming that the judges arent supposed to "know" which cattery the cat is from. Does that mean you should have someone else to take the cat to the ring incase the judge knows them?
How many shows do you go to per year and how far do you travel to get there? There is only once cat show in my area in June. The rest I would have to travel up to 6 hours for. If I do show how many should I get to in a year?
I realize that a lot of that depends on how many points he gets at each show.
Thanks.
