HOUSEHOLD PETS
What are Household Pets (HHP) ?
Yes, you can show your cat even if its not eligible for pedigree cat competition! Household Pet(s) (HHP) is a competitive show category where cats are judged on condition (general good health) temperament, and grooming but not a written standard for conformation. It is a very important part of our cat show. Don’t be afraid to give it a try. If your cat is friendly, not easily frightened, and likes attention, chances are it will do well, and you will have a good time showing your cat off. You will want to bathe and clean ears on your cat one to two days before show. Nails must be clipped on all paws before judging. HHP(s) must be at least 4 months old (by first date of show). Cat(s) can not be declawed. Cat(s) 8 months of age or older must be spayed or neutered. All shots must be up-to-date, and tested negative for Felv. This is for everyone’s protection. The only animals that can enter the show hall are cat(s) that are entered into the show or service animals. Now you have decided to enter your HHP(s) in the show.
