"The more formal contests are conducted under rules prescribed by a recognized organization of cat fanciers. They're tremendously exciting to attend whether you've entered a cat or not-- and, incidentally, you can enter your cat even if you don't belong to the club or own a pedigreed cat."

"Contrary to popular opinion, the size of a cat has little bearing on its ability to win shows. Often a large cat may simply have a handsome coat and nothing underneath it to conform to the judge's standards. On the other hand, an extremely small cat may have the bone structure (as well as coat) that enables it to walk off with a blue ribbon."
