If you are the only at there of your breed, colour and divison does that mean you will automatically gets 1st and not have it w/h and be 2nd if your cat weren't good enough?

Hiya,

If your cat is good enough you will get the points for colour and division then yes, but you will be judged against the rest of your breed for best in breed, there are other Tica exhibitors on here that can probably advise you better.

Are you going to try another one? With the right show team i think you will enjoy it lots. We have one Tica show every two years over here so I have a long wait lol!

Yes, but what I mean is say you have 1 siamese alter at the show. He is a seal point.

As there is only 1 seal point alter, solid divison and 1 siamese would you always be given 1st for each as you are the only one.

It's unlikely I will show with TICA again unless I have some spare money as it would only be for a crack as to me it's not that serious.

No necessarily Vicky, a Bengal this weekend got sent from the ring and not awarded any points because of its temperament.

And even if you get points you then need to final to get titles - some cats final easily and others will go a few shows with only one final etc etc

Thanks for that Soupie. I thought that surely they can't just award 1st all the time. It was just a comment I heard from a Judge at the xmas show. Though I think he was just joking around with what he said. I was just checking.

Hi,

It can also be harder for a cat on its own to final! Some people feel that Tica shows are to easy as far as getting titles is concerned but it is very hard to get finals, the standard at the tica shows has gone up and up over the years, the all breed finals are the hardest to get into.

Right I see that makes sense. So finals are actually hard to get into?

Good job they don't w/h for hissing at the scratch post they use!

When I've shown Burmese I've usually been the only one - so yes it can be really easy to get best of colour and division, although at one show my red neuter boy beat a SGCA choc girl for division twice
finalling with a Burmese though is not at all easy as the TICA standard is very different to GCCF's and FIFe's - this is the main reason why I don't do many TICA shows, it's not much fun going to a show knowing you have very little chance of winning anything.
