More Rings...

Each of the six or eight judges will sometimes judge each cat in the show.  However, some judges only do "specialties", either short hair cats or long hair cats.  Therefore, a cat may only show in the applicable rings.  The "all breed" rings judge all cats, whether short or long hair.  Each judge also has a kitten class for the younger set.   Each judge in each ring goes through the same process of awarding ribbons for best in color class and sex for each breed.  They also keep notes of which cats and kittens they like best of all cats and kittens they have judged throughout the whole show.

No, the champagne here is just a prop -- the cats don't get to imbibe!
