The Cat Fanciers’ Club of South Africa held a championship show for all cat breeds at the Edenvale Community Centre on April 11.
Pet food manufacturer, Royal Canin, was the sponsor of the event. The cats were judged in their various classes, followed by the main best in show, later on in the event.
At the best in show stage, the best cats out of the various sections competed to determine the section winners, and eventually the best exhibit on show.
The cat show was officiated by a number of judges from across Gauteng.
Various breeds were on show, including Persians, Maine coons, Norwegian Forest Cats, British Shorthairs, Burmese, Siamese and Orientals.
A number of lesser-known breeds such as Birmans, Siberians, Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Sphynx and LaPerms were also represented.
The show offers an ideal opportunity for members of the public, who may be considering acquiring a pedigreed kitten, to meet reputable breeders and discuss the attributes of the breeds they are interested in.
Various vendors dealing in cat-related products, such as scratching posts, toys and grooming tools, had an opportunity to exhibit and sell their products at the show.
