Standard Of Perfection

Show Cats

This episode revolves around the owners, animals and judges at the Cat Fanciers' Association International Cat Show, one of the world's foremost feline competitive events. It can be a nerve-racking time for the exhibitors as they watch their prized pets proceed to the next round or face elimination from competition. The program shows the training, pampering, bathing, grooming and fussing that go into preparing a "campaign cat" for the biggest event on the cat calendar. Pride, jubilation, dirty tricks, tears and despair are all part of the game.
