Explained simply
The GCCF, the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy, organises cat shows in Britain. At championship shows, cats are judged in different sections, including pedigree cats and household pets, which may be of mixed or unknown ancestry.
Judges assess each cat against the standards for its section, and awards such as rosettes recognise selected entrants. The shows bring together owners and cats of many breeds, as well as rescue pets, giving the public a chance to learn about cat varieties and the judging process.
