I'm not sure that's right - whilst TICA don't have a 13 day rule I think the GCCF will object to there only being one week between their show and the TICA one?

OP you can show in a two day TICA show, miss the next weekend and then show the following weekend on the Saturday. The GCCF made it 13 days and for it to work this way rather than two weeks as many breed seminars are on a sunday.

I agree. I asked the GCCF once if I could take my cat to a gccf show one week and tica the one after and I was told NO!

We need a TICA expert to confirm, but I think that I am correct. The GCCF only care that you have not been to a show in 13 days preceeding the GCCF show you are attending, ie so anything you pick up at that show can not be transferred to the next show. 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.

I would be showing TICA first then GCCF the next week - but I would be showing different cats.
I have to inform GCCF that I am showing at TICA because my cat is registered with both organisations so they would know that I had shown with TICA the week previous.

Regarding the weekend shows if I did a 2 day TICA show then if you count 13 days from the Monday (as Sunday is a show day) then you would be unable to show until 2 Sundays later.

eg, TICA show 1st & 2nd November count 13 days from 3rd Nov that takes you to 15th Nov so you would be able to show on 16th or is that not how it works?

I only want to do TICA because my bengal will get full recognition there unlike the assessment classes with GCCF

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

T&D you most definitely can show on the next but one saturday after a sunday tica show - I have queried that with GCCF and it is accepted.

I'll ask about the 13 day rule on GCCF list as I understand they do care about you showing 1 week after a GCCF show ..... TICA have no rules about spaces between shows.

I have checked and the GCCF states that you must not show during the 13 days before or after on of their shows.

It is the declaration you sign on the entry form.

I know they can and do check up on this too.

Do I REALLY want to show GCCF?? hmmm I may try and convince my daughter OH NO WAY lol
I knew there was a reason I transferred all my cats to TICA and only show TICA.. much easier lol

Or maybe the daughter needs to move out.. oops she is only 12 lol
