Yeah. I could tell that she is a lovely lady.

1:54 when she raises the Persian and everyone claps is the best moment. ❤

I’m obsessed with bicolour Persians 😍

Based on show numbers I've seen over the years, they are easily the most popular.

Too precious for words! Persians are my heart. ❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing, Doug!

I have a huge amount of clips from the show, so it's going to take some time now to figure out who's who and get things organized. Thanks CFA for posting all relevant info via pdf's on your International site. Makes things a lot easier.

Ragdolls are so majestic, calm and beautiful! I love my Ragdoll, Capone! 😻😻😻😻

All the Persians here are superb!!!Iwish I had one of these!^)))

I’m obsessed with your videos. 😂💩🙈 now I’m on the list for my first two Persian kittens 😂 thanks a lot!

the 2nd runner up cat is full energetic she is my type of cat I love playful cats.

cats are my live

Wonderful!

I love cats so much ^_^!

They're all beautiful ❤❤❤

These cats are REALLY well behaved & calm (being passed from judge to judge). What if my cat up & cuts some dude? Does that count against us? I'm honestly curious.

The cats are bred for disposition as well as appearance and often are gotten use to ring type handling early. However they can experience a sudden scare in the ring by a loud noise or some such thing and react in a problematic way. I have seen some cats that were demonstrably unhappy to be in a ring and really should not have been there. This is when a judge really needs to be able to read a cat's behaviour, experienced judges tending to get such a cat back to the ring cage quickly and quietly before they express their unhappiness. Sometimes owners/handlers are called up to handle the cat. While editing these cat show vids I do sometimes see judges with obvious wounds from recent encounters.

Happily CFA does use a PA (microphone) for this Best of the Best event. The echo is really bad, though, yes. Don't remember if that was the hall (and it just sounded like that) or my mic, though believe I'd got the new external mic by then, and it is a good mic, not on the CIA level, but a good consumer grade mic.

I like how the Bombay blends in the black background of that cage.

I'm intrigued by them. Black is a photographic challenge and they have an unusual profile so I really want to get a good look, taking video gets in the way of actually looking at the cats, sorta like the phone salute dims a concert experience.

How do none of these cats smack one of these people?

@DougguoD

Жыл бұрын

Oh, they do. It's rare. I've not seen actual attacks myself, though I have seen some very unhappy cats. Some cats just shouldn't go to shows. Sometimes something sets a cat off, though I've seen cats who are just waiting for the opportunity too. Those ones really shouldn't be there. I saw much less of this (pretty much none) later on. But was not an atypical thing way back. Being close during some of these vids I've seen judges hands and arms indicating previous encounters of the violent kind.

Who will win short or long hair ?

I'm not so sure the cats are enjoying this. Constant grooming, baths ( most don't really like getting fully wet) the carrier- traveling, actually, staying in cages for hours, being picked up and held that way. Cats are a TOTALLY different animal from dogs. It's mostly for the owner. They don't look happy, like, " can we just go home so I can cuddle in my favorite spot and SLEEP?! " They don't care for all the yelling and clapping- noise. Cats are cats, no matter how much you payed for them, or how much you make off them. 😟😿👎💔

Yes, most would rather be home doing pet cat things. I'd didn't much like working for a living either. This certainly beats rodent control as a job, though - which is very much cats being cats. And on the generalization that breeders are in it for the money, there are much easier ways to make money than cat breeding, at least when done properly - think vet bills, long nights & lots of worry .

Flooufff 💕

Other than the back of some audience heads I'm not seeing much of the audience, and the judges are obviously fine with each other 9:38 🤷‍♂️

I love ALL cats but these show cats honestly are not as attractive to me as the plain old everyday house cats. I just can't get into the Persian thing, though Maine Coon cats are beautiful.

@Marglock

I LOVE Maine Coon cats! The Persians of today have been 'overstylized' to have those ridiculous little 'smashed-in' noses and faces which I don't find pretty. The Persians of about 30 years ago were BEAUTIFUL with their sweet, cherubic 'doll faces.' Same thing with Siamese. They used to be beautiful and elegant looking. Now they're scrawny and look so undersized and unhealthy. (I realize this is my opinion but I'm entitled to it.)

I've never owned a long haired cat. Can only imagine the fur balls it would puke up.🤢

Depends a lot on the frequency of grooming - and access to grass.
