D.5.1 – Hair categories in traditional judging
Traditional judging divides the cats in four hair categories:
- Longhair – Persian and Colourpoint (also known as Himalayan).
- Semi-Longhair – cats with semi-long coat.
- Shorthair – cats with short coat, except those cats listed as
Siamese-OSH.
- Siamese/OSH – Siamese, Oriental Shorthair, Mekong Bobtail,
Thai, Peterbald and Tonkinese.
D.5.2 – All breeds, classes must be judged completely in each
hair category.
In each hair category judges have to judge all breeds, colours and
classes completely, including Best in Show and Best of Best.
D.5.3 – Cats are separated according to their breed, colour and
sex.
In each hair category cats are separated first by their breed, then
by their colour, in each colour chronologically by the show class
(top-down, or vice-versa), and in each class by their sex, males
first, and by their age, starting with the adults. |
