[b]Dear Cat Lovers,
The Malta Feline Guardians Club, MFGC, would like to invite you to register your cats to be part of the 27th and 28th International Cat Show. This spectacular event is to be held in the splendour of the Ballroom of the Phoenicia Hotel, Floriana on Sunday 27th March.[/b]
This much anticipated event is being presented as ‘two international cat shows on one day’. Therefore all the exhibited cats would participate in two judging sessions. The Club has invited two WCF all breed judges, Mr Antonello Bardella from Italy and Mr Andeas Kretschmer-Kraiczek from Germany, to preside over the judging. All cats would be presented before one judge during the first show and before the other judge during the second show. When presenting your cat to the judge, each judge will examine your beloved feline according to the level of grooming, distinct markings on the coat, breed, character of the cat and other distinguishing features. Each exhibitor, will receive a ribbon and a written report, from each judge, as regards the standard of the cat in general. The judges will be judging all the beautiful cats competing in various categories during the show. Besides the Best In Show, there will be two Specialties to award distinct features within each different class of feline and three Show Rings ie. the Adult, Neuter and Kitten ring respectively. All pure breeds felines, be they kittens, adult or neutered cats, can participate in these Rings. The winning cats place first and second in each ring. The winning cats from each ring will be eligible to compete for the Master Title in a show later in the year. The Master Title is amongst the most rewarding award a cat may obtain. The theme of the show is a ‘Funfair’ and the exhibitors are invited to decorate their cages according to this theme. The judges will be choosing ‘the best decorated cage’. The judges would also be selecting the General Best Cat in Show, a task, which is not so easy to do. A wide variety of feline breeds will be participating. These include: Persian, Exotic, Sphynx, British Long Hair, Maine Coons and Russian Blue are to be exhibited. The Club also welcomes and encourages the participation of the Maltese Domestic cats, which is always a firm favourite with the public and exhibitors alike.
