I was just wondering what people thought of these? I think it's great, and with the split separating the Moggies from the half peds/non-reg peds will stop people complaining every time a non-reg ped wins over a moggy and vice versa.

Do you think having the titles will mean more HP entries? I do, I think that being able to work up through titles in the same way as the pedigrees will get more people interested.

Do you think the non-reg ped/moggy split is good or unnecessary? Ideally I would say it is unnecessary as the HP section should be judged on temperment, condition, grooming alone... but I have heard moggy owners complain when a half ped/non-reg ped wins claiming it's not fair that they should be allowed to enter... when technically they have no pedigree and all are being judged on same criteria so that is fair in my book... but then again Misha just beat a half ped Abbysinian so I feel smug Mind you I have also seen a non-reg pedigree with a foul disposition beat sweet tempered moggies before where I did wonder why the judge made that decision

I've been showing HP's for 20 yrs and looking forward to the new classes.
We have moggies and half -peds and at last there will be no confusion where to put your cats .
Also the fact that you can compete for a title is brill and will hopefully bring in more entries ,which can only be good as some shows have struggled.
Having seen it from both sides ,some judges won't put a half ped forward for BIS as it is a non-ped BIS and also until now if you enter the Supreme a half -ped couldnt go up for Supreme BIS for the same reason.

But that has all changed ,and cats who are peds and much loved pets but aren't up to standard of points can be shown off in the new section and aia know a lot of people are really looking forward to this

I know several people with rescue peds who are looking forward to it too, since they couldn't show with ped classes as no papers and felt guilty entering a pedigree albeit without papers in the HP section

I hope it does boost numbers entering the moggy section too with the titles coming available
