Cat shows

Here are a few nice pictures of abyssinians and somalis which I took on the occasion of special feline cat shows, typically when a nice lot of them gathered for a "breed special" judgement :

• Orange (France), May 2005
• St Malo (France), March 2007
• Zutphen (the Netherlands), November 2007 : pictures of more than 50 somalis !!!

*** NEW *** I have written a comprehensive page comparing cat shows of different federations: "traditional" judging such as in LOOF or FIFe shows, or "american-style" judging such as in TICA or CFA cat shows. This article also explains all the titles given and score of points to get them. You may also want to download a printable version here. Traditional cat shows in France must obey the rules and standards of the LOOF (the only book of origins recognised for cats in France). If you read French, you may want to look at their breed standard for the abyssinian and somali.
