They do not care what you do after that time. TICA do not care that you showed with the GCCF the preceeding week as they do not have a 13 day rule.
Yes this is right. TICA do not have a 13 day rule and with GCCF it has to be 13 days between shows. i.e. wk 1 GCCF, wk 2 TICA, wk 4 is the soonest that you can show at GCCF again. With TICA and Fife you can show every week. The GCCF rule is to reduce the spread of disease from a household that is why all cats from the same household come under the rule. I know many people who get around this by registering their cats at another address!
I personally don't show at GCCF because of this rule, not because I want to show every week but scheduling around this rule to support my local GCCF shows is impossible when my preference is TICA and Felis Britannica due to the recognistion of the Siberian breed
