Thanks Gary! Yup, I came home with 6 free samples of cat kibble, and 5 free samples of dog kibble PLUS a doggie desert (which I already knew she likes).

Once the cats are in the cages in the Ring, the judge takes them one a ta time and brings the cat out of the cage and sits in on a table in the front. There are chairs around for spectators. The judge feels the cat all over, and checks to the standard. The replaces the cat. Makes some notes, washes her / his hands with Purell, and moves to the next cat. The only difference form a dog show is, they do NOT watch the cat walk!
