Hi Chrissy,

I understand where you're coming from on this issue. but then again it doesn't get any better when 9 months old and an adult and you find you are not only against older and maturer specimens but titled cats too in the Open. My girl was up against a Grand Champion and nearly an Imperial owned by a judge/exhibitor at her second adult show and my girl beat her taking the BOB too.
If Id known that beforehand though I might not have turned up.

Just go for it.
