At cat shows organised by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale F\u00e9line (FIFe)<\/strong>, cats can progress through a series of titles. By competing at shows and being assessed by international judges, they can earn titles recognising their conformation, adherence to the breed standard and the breeder\u2019s work.<\/p>\n Titles earned at shows are official honours that a cat retains for life and that become part of its pedigree.<\/p>\n To learn more about our show experience and where our cats compete, visit our page on cat shows attended by La Bella Vita Cattery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n At FIFe shows, cats compete in different classes according to their age.<\/p>\n The main classes are:<\/p>\n In these classes, cats receive assessments and certificates that allow them to progress through their show career.<\/p>\n A show cat progresses through several levels. Each title is earned by collecting certificates awarded by different judges at official shows.<\/p>\n This is the first title a kitten can earn in this age class: Kitten (4\u20138 months)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To earn this title, a cat needs:<\/p>\n This title recognises that the kitten already shows promise when judged against the breed standard.<\/p>\n The title Junior Champion<\/strong> is awarded to cats in the junior class: Junior (8\u201312 months)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To earn this title, a cat needs:<\/p>\n A Junior Champion is a young cat recognised for its breed type and conformation.<\/p>\n After turning one, a cat enters the Open class<\/strong> and can begin working towards adult championship titles.<\/p>\n To earn the Champion title, a cat needs:<\/p>\n This title confirms that the cat fully meets its breed standard.<\/p>\n The next step in a cat\u2019s show career is the title of International Champion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To earn this title, a cat needs:<\/p>\n An International Champion is a cat that has demonstrated its quality in international competition.<\/p>\n After becoming an International Champion, a cat can compete for the title of Grand International Champion (GIC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To earn this title, a cat needs certificates designated CAGCIB<\/strong>, through either of two routes:<\/p>\n or<\/p>\n Competing in more than one country therefore allows a cat to earn the title with fewer certificates.<\/p>\n The Supreme Champion (SC)<\/strong> is the highest FIFe championship title.<\/p>\n It is earned through certificates designated CACS<\/strong>, through either of two routes:<\/p>\n or<\/p>\n Here too, competing in different countries offers a faster route to the title.<\/p>\n In addition to championship titles, cats can win highly prestigious awards at shows.<\/p>\n The award Best in Variety<\/strong> is presented to the best cat of a particular variety (colour or pattern) within the breed.<\/p>\n For this award to be made, there must be at least three cats of the same variety<\/strong>.<\/p>\n During judging, each judge selects the best cats in the category to take part in the show final.<\/p>\n Receiving a Nomination for Best in Show<\/strong> is a significant achievement in its own right.<\/p>\n The Best in Show<\/strong> is the final stage of a cat show.<\/p>\n An international panel of judges chooses the best cat in the category from all those nominated.<\/p>\n Winning a Best in Show<\/strong> is one of the most prestigious honours in the cat show world.<\/p>\n In addition to championship titles, some cats can earn special titles based on achievements throughout their show career.<\/p>\n Among the most notable are:<\/p>\n The title World Winner<\/strong> is one of the most prestigious honours in the international cat fancy.<\/p>\n Cat shows are more than competitions. They bring together breeders, judges and enthusiasts from around the world to share their knowledge and experience.<\/p>\n Cat shows offer an opportunity to:<\/p>\n For a responsible cattery, show results recognise careful breeding and a commitment to raising healthy, well-balanced cats that meet the breed standard<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I titoli dei gatti nelle esposizioni feline: il percorso verso l\u2019eccellenza Nel mondo delle esposizioni feline organizzate dalla F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale F\u00e9line (FIFe), i gatti possono intraprendere un vero e proprio percorso di carriera.
