Signing up for the correct show classes is just as important as preparing your Japanese Bobtail for the show itself. Before showing, make sure your bobtail is registered with the Cat Fanciers’ Association or other associations required for the particular show you will be competing in. Once you’re registered think about attending a local show and even a practice show. Afterwards, sign up and enter an official show. The CFA recommends obtaining a copy of the CFA show rules and the show standard for your breed in order to determine which classes to sign up for. Make sure you are showing in your breed’s division. For instance, you will not be able to show your Japanese Bobtail in the British Shorthair division. If you have any questions about your Japanese Bobtail’s breed, age, vaccination records, etc., please give your Hillview Veterinary Clinic a call. You may also ask judges or show aids for assistance.
