Annual Household Cat
Show Details for 2001
The Household Cat Show is the WSU AAFP Chapter’s main
annual event. In the spring of each year we invite the Palouse community to show off its
cats – purebred, barnyard, alley, etc. The owners gather in Pullman, WA and display
their cats for all to see and then each cat is judged by a professional cat show judge.
The judge awards 1st through 5th place in a variety of categories –
long hair, short hair, kittens, childrens’ and purebred. In addition, the
judge chooses
cats that fit other categories such as "best personality", "oldest
cat", "cat with the most toes", etc. Each winner receives an authentic cat
show ribbon – just like at a professional show! Ribbons are also awarded to each
participant so no cat goes home empty-pawed!
The show is open to the public – even if they bring no
cat to be judged. In addition to watching each cat be judged, you can purchase raffle
tickets for merchandise donated form local businesses, children can participate in games
and there is the opportunity to purchase AAFP’s cat t-shirts and baked goods.
Also, there is the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets
for bags of cat food and other donated items.
