Over two days, more than 100 cats strut, pose, and compete at Singapore\u2019s only official Cat Fanciers\u2019 Association (CFA) show, where every whisker and stride is judged.\u00a0But this is more than a weekend spectacle: the best will climb the ranks toward Divisional Winner, or even chase global glory as a National Winner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Under the scrutiny of four CFA-accredited judges, each cat has just one to three minutes on the table to prove it is the complete package.<\/p>\n
Four key areas are assessed:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
Pedigreed cats are evaluated against a written breed standard<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Physical condition: Health, bone structure and symmetry<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Presentation: Coat cleanliness and breed-appropriate grooming<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Temperament:\u00a0Calm, stable and handleable\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Kitten:<\/b> Four months to eight months<\/p>\n
Championship:<\/b> Pedigreed cats that are sexually intact\u00a0<\/p>\n
Premiership:<\/b> Pedigreed cats that are spayed or neutered<\/p>\n
Household Pet:<\/b> Open to all cats, pedigreed or not. Judged on charm, personality and that special spark. Affectionate \u201cmanja<\/i>\u201d cats often do well here.<\/p>\n
The largest of all domestic breeds, but known as gentle giants.\u00a0They are a\u00a0muscular breed built for the frosty winters of the north-eastern USA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Despite its hairless appearance, it is actually covered in a fine, downy fuzz that feels like suede to the touch, with desirable wrinkles around the muzzle and shoulders. Large lemon-shaped eyes, open ears and squared muzzle define the face.<\/p>\n\n
