A
cat show is a judged event where the owners of
cats compete to win titles in various cat registering organizations by entering their cats to be judged after a breed standard. Both
pedigreed and companion (or moggy) cats are admissible, although the rules differ from organization to organization. Cats are compared to a breed standard, and the owners of those judged to be closest to it are awarded a prize. Moggy's are judged based on their temperament. Often, at the end of the year, all of the points accrued at various shows are added up and additional national and regional titles are awarded.
