Good luck finding a good show boy/girl
I've always rehomed adult cats before so having a kitten is going to be a lot of fun and is equally exciting for me. Knowing me though, I will fall in love with a kitten for a quirk that it has

Re: Potential Show Kittens
Well, I'm with you on that one! My new show boy is a Polydactyl Maine Coon - I love their big feet I will be showing him as a Ped-Pet as he doesn't meet the Standard of Points. It doesn't matter to me though - I love him to bits

Not sure you can Wendy

Show Managers and owners are reminded that Section 4 Rule 4c applies to Pedigree Pets; this is stated in Section Two Rule 5h2.

Section 4 Rule 4c
Exhibits which have been declawed, together with polydactyls, folded ears, curly tails and any other abnormality are not acceptable exhibits and a duty veterinary surgeon is instructed to reject them.

Re: Potential Show Kittens
They changed the vetting in rule recently (in June) so it now just applies to de-clawing. Curly ears, bent tails, funny feet are now all allowed in the HHP section and applies to both Ped-Pets and Non-Peds. It was not widely publicised. Blink and you would have missed it

Like everything in the HP section

Don't publicise it, keep changing colour definitions and moving goalposts and then expect people to know what they are doing.

Re: Potential Show Kittens
Yes - they leave a lot to be desired Carol The GCCF are happy to take your money - the same entry fee is charged for pedigree and non-peds but treat HHPs like second class citizens

Re: Potential Show Kittens
He's just coming up to 5 months. He's not got much coat yet but his tail is just starting to fluff up I waited a long time for him - almost three years. He is a total sweetheart and a mummys boy!
