YellowLabLover,

Cat shows are a blast!! And yes, you can enter Dudley in the Household Pet division. All my cats are rescues and 3 of them are purebreds (American Curl, Sphynx and Munchkin). I've shown the shown those three and another one (a Siamese mix) in that category. Two of them made national standings (MooShoo the Sphynx was named 9th Best Household Pet Kitten for 2001 and Maya Linn, the Siamese mix (rescued from San Juan airport in Puerto Rico) won 13th Best Household Pet Kitten for 2001. I've met some very interesting people and have made alot of friends at cat shows.

Showing your cat can be an expense though. AACE costs about $45 per cat entry; TICA, CFF and CFA are alot more expensive. But once you get into it, you become hooked (I did!!) I finally had to give it up because it just got too expensive.

I encourage you to give it a try. Good luck and let me know how you make out.
