Tiny paws, whiskers and a room full of cat lovers. Sounds like a morning in paradise? This is what Sunday morning looked like in Bengaluru when The Cat Club of India held its second International Championship Cat Show at The Lalit Ashok. More than 170 cats, kittens and adults of different breeds from different parts of the country participated in the show.
Bengal cats, Persian, Maine Coons, exotic short hair ones were present at the show. The criteria for choosing the winner was simple – presentation, cat’s overall health, his/her and temperament, says Sudhakar Katineni, one of the judges of the show. Upon entering, the cats were registered to participate in the show. The Maine Coons and Persian cats had a separate category, unlike all the other breeds that were judged together.
Having participated in about 10 contests and won seven titles, Sindhu Belliappa, a cat lover from Bengaluru, has 14 cats at her pet-friendly home.
