I'm new here, so sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place
So the other day, I was browsing this board, and I happened upon some threads talking about cat shows. I've never really been interested in showing cats, mainly because I'm not a big purebred person (not that I have anything against them, I'd just rather rescue a poor, needy kitty, plus show quality purebreds are expensive!), but a couple of these threads mentioned that you could also show just regular old mutt-cats in their own categories. I think all of the cats I have now are a bit old to get them used to something like this, but in the future this could be something I'm interested in.
So my question is, what could they possibly be judging them on? To my knowledge, purebred cats would be judged on how well they fit their breed standards, but if a cat isn't any breed, I don't understand how that would work. Would it just be on how pretty they are? 'cause that seems awfully subjective. Anyway, thanks for all your help
