The most interesting events of any cat show are the "Finals", where a judge picks the top ten cats (or kittens) of all his or her cats.  These are what this judge regards as the best, regardless of breed, color, or sex.  Each judge picks these top ten cats based on how well the cat meets its breed standards compared to how well others meet their own standards.  You can usually spot a final by the larger number of people watching the awards.  They are good to watch because judges usually explain what they liked best about each cat, and the key characteristics that they are looking for in that breed of cat.  Here during a final, a judge explains what she looks for in the head shape of an Ocicat.
