Re: Imperial class cats??
Because they can still compete for BIS ? I don't know, its up to the individual. There are some judges I won't place my cats under, and I would avoid the Imp class with my Imp (if I had one
 ) if I still wanted to go to that show.

, I just felt really sorry for the poor people with champion cats that had paid their 30 odd quid to enter the show, in some cases beat 5 other cats just to get reserve grand, and be beaten by an Imperial who has also entered the Imperial class too.I do beleive in good competition, but sometimes there can be more than one cat in a class worthy of winning .  I agree show entries are on the decline, and things like this surely cant encorage people to show their cats

Re: Imperial class cats??
It's been my argument for years that grands and Imps shouldn't enter the open, there are cats good enough to make champion, but haven't got that extra something needed for grand, so why be mean and block them with a grand or imperial, I have an imperial and wouldn't dream of putting her in the open.
I would do imperial and grand and bob, if I was going to carry on showing her, but I have others I can show, so doubt very much that I will take her out to an ordinary show. But you have to remember some people only have one show cat, in my opinion it is still no excuse for putting an imp or grand in the open to compete against young cats, some only just 9 months old, so haven't reached their full potential.

Re: Imperial class cats??
Hi,
It used to be a pet hate of mine seeing titled cats in the open then hearing their owners moan that they hadn't won their grand certificate either  Just to add insult to injury!I know people say that if the cat is good enough it will win the certificates regardless of who they are up against but I disagree. I think judges recognise certain cats straight off and they are pretty much up for an automatic win. Its very off putting for beginners with young cats. I prefer the FIFE way of showing where the cat can only be put in its class for the next award up. Much fairer that way. Ok they may come up against a titled cat for the BIV but at least its a fairer way of showing! Just my humble opinion. I only have three cats to show! lol Izzie

Whatever registry you show under, its a competition at the end of the day, there are no guarantees of winning if your cat has a title or doesn't. If cats are being placed by judges just because they recognise them and/or their owners then that particular judge is at fault not the system they judge under. That can happen in any registry!!
