Hi
I have been showing for a while now and was wondering why someone would enter their cat, for instance a GR PR into a GR PR open class when they obviously have that title already? I have noticed this happening in a lot of classes when that title has already been gained.

Most if not all that enter cats in classes they are already titled in do so to get points for their breed club to be best neuter or best male seal point neuter etc.

No not at all. Whilst at a cat show this weekend there were a few dissapointed owners/breeders who felt their cat was at a disadvantage because other cats were in their class when they have already gained that title.

If your cat is good enough it will beat those cats. Mine has beaten a Gr Pr in the Grand before. Makes your title feel more earned that way, a cat show is meant to be a competition at the end of the day.

My boy was entered for his 1st PC but denied because the judge said it had to be awared to the GR PR also in his class. my boy got 1st open but the PC was N/A.
Please tell me if I misunderstood this.

The other cat may have got best of breed. If your cat was first the the withholding of the PC is unrelated to the other cat.

It wasn't withheld, it was "not available".

n/a means not awarded. is yours the apricot MN? The GR PR was in BOB only and won it, he wasn't entered in the open so didn't block your cat. Your cat must have been witheld or not awarded it's PC for another reason. You will have to wait for the Judge's write up and it will explain why,

My apologies, I was given a different explanation. What is the difference between W/H & N/A?
