A cat show is composed of every cat being judged according to a written standard for its breed. The exception is the Household Pet class which does not have a written standard.

8 Independent judges come from around the US. The 8 judges and 4 classes of judging result in 38 Best-In-Show finals spread throughout the weekend.
