OCICAT CLASSICS
The Ocicat Classic was given Preliminary Recognition at the Council Meeting of the
Governing Council of the Cat Fancy in October 2008. This meant they could be shown for Merit Certificates as soon as it was practical for Show Managers to include them in their Show schedules. The first Show where this became possible was the Short Hair Cat Society Show on January 10th 2009.
In order to progress to the next stage, Provisional Recognition, one major requirement is that there have to be at least 6 Classics with 4 Merit Certificates apiece, each from a different Judge, and no more than two to be obtained as a kitten. So if you can help
with your Classic(s), please get showing!
THE SHORTHAIR CAT SOCIETY SHOW
Coventry, 10th January, 2009
This was a busy Show in an excellent venue, with plenty of space and light. Several small breed Shows were held simultaneously at the same venue, so there was lots going on.
Six Classics had been entered for the Show, and four were present. You may remember the snow, frost, fog and freezing temperatures of that Friday and Saturday, not conducive to travelling any great distance, and well done to those who made it. There were also several Ocicat kittens, two Adults and two Neuters on show, so we were very well represented.
