Touching cats at a cat show is a big NO NO. You may think that the owner is being snotty but there have been too many tragic happenings where cats at a show got something that was passed from cat to cat by being handled. Watch how careful the judges are to wash hands and disinfect the tables between cats.

I've been to lots of shows and worked for someone who was showing some of her seven meezers.
