"Cat shows are events designed to organize competitions for conformity to breed standards, allowing cats to obtain championship titles or distinctions that can appear on their pedigree, as well as beauty pageants to select the best cats present at the show."

"Special" Awards in Shows
“BEST VARIETY”
The Best Variety award designates the finest cat among all those of the same coat color, regardless of age or gender, provided that there are at least three cats competing in that specific variety.
“SPECIAL PRIZE”
The Special Prize is awarded by the judge if a cat has particularly caught their eye. This award holds the exact same value as a “Best Variety.”
"NOMINATION FOR BEST IN SHOW"
Each judge selects their top cat in every category (their best adult female, their best 3-6 month female, etc.). All the cats preselected by their respective judges then compete against each other for the title of best cat in that category.
"BEST IN SHOW"
The selection of the overall best cat by all the judges within its specific class (e.g., the day's best semi-longhair adult female).
"BEST OF BEST"
The selection of the overall best cat by all the judges within its specific coat length category:
-
Shorthair (e.g., Sphynx)
-
Semi-longhair (e.g., Maine Coon)
-
Longhair (e.g., Persian)
"BEST SUPREME" (or "BEST GENERAL")
The selection of the overall best cat of the entire show, across all breeds, ages, and genders!
