cat with kink, stumpy, bob tail, cross eyes or even over weight are allowed to enter shows.. and judging will be done equally but it is always very unlikely for these special cats to win anything as winners are usually "perfect" looking cat
but nevertheless these special cats usualy do bring home some trophies during cat fun shows... where the cats are judged and awarded according to the looks and temperament segregated between longhair and shorthair... and the kinds of award will be something like this..
"Most Active Kitten", "Most Adorable Female", "Most Handsome Male", "Heaviest Cat", "Unique Pattern", "Longest Whiskers", "Longest Cat" and etc..
but for cat with kink tail they are still judged equally like those with straight tails provided if they are neutered and entered under the Neuter Open category. they can even won not just the heart of the judge and audience but also top placement in the Neuter Class for domestic cat LH/SH

I asked this question because most of our naturally occurred domestic cats don’t have perfect long tail; they have either kink, stumpy or bob tail. Most local Siamese or Siamese cross has cross-eyes too. I think it apply to many pedigree Siamese too. I think they are rather cute. This is my cross-eyes red point local Siamese. Don’t you think she is beautiful? She have very nice temperament but she not only has cross-eyes and kink tail, she is over weight too, that why she never win.  Ha,ha,ha. She was a stray kitten so she has tendency of over-eat and being neutered, she put on weight in no time.
Personally I think overweight or obese cats are not as healthy as cats with the right weight and condition and they are prompt to have disease like constipation, diabetic, urinary obstruction and etc.
Why do entire kink-tailed cats being judged differently from neutered kink-tailed cats?  I know in overseas most household cats are support to be neutered before entering cat show. |
