Kokos wins the cat show in Rzeszów and Lewis is still waiting for a home

16.10.24

The show we participated in was part of the Felimpiada – an event organized by the Polish Felinology Union, which is unique in that shows of the three most popular cat organizations in our country: WCF, TICA and FIFe (in the case of the latter, it was not a show but a cat display), take place at the same place and time. Even though our cattery is affiliated with FIFe, we usually take the opportunity to also show our cats at the two TICA events held in Poland every year. The scoring system there is completely different from “ours”. Each day, cats are judged in four major classes – kittens, adult cats, neuters and household pets – by each of the judges. In addition to competing for points for the best cat of a given breed in a particular colour, colour group and breed, the best of them also meet in the finals of the class, where they are compared directly with the best cats in the class, regardless of their breed, sex or hair length and ranked in order from the last place (5-10 – depending on the total number of cats of a given class participating in the competition) to the first. This means that with five judges (as there were in Rzeszow), a cat can “pass” as many as 10 performances in one day – five evaluations and, if it pleases, another five finals. So you have to run a bit with these cats, but the fun is great, because each evaluation is another hope and chance for a good result. The joy is even greater if this running brings results, which was also our share in Rzeszow. We are very proud of our Kokos, no final could do without him. He won three of them, and in the rest he placed high (he was fourth at the lowest) and as a result he became the best neuter (or Alter as they are called in TICA) of the show, heard lots of compliments (for length, elegance, phenomenal eye colour, beautiful profile and size and position of ears), appeared in the Felimpiada final and brought home a trunk full of awards.

We are not resting on our laurels, because the last weekend of April awaits us another journey – this time to Slovakia, where at the exhibition in Žilina we hope to complete the title of International Premior of our parent federation.
