No special preparation is necessary for showing your Siamese if you have been 



grooming him regularly. 



You can join any organization that has a chartered club in your 

 area. If there is more than one club nearby, the choice is up to 

 you. At the club meetings you will become acquainted with people 

 who have a similar interest in cats and you will learn more about 

 health, grooming, show organization procedures and so forth. 



There are no shows for Siamese cats only, but short-haired 

 cat shows include the Siamese. If you are interested in showing 

 your Siamese, find out when shows take place in your area, and 

 ask to have your name put on the mailing list. 



Cats 4 to 8 months of age must be entered in the kitten class. 

 The novice class is for cats between 8 months and 2 years of age 

 that have never won a blue ribbon (depending on the organization). 

 Cats between 8 months and 2 years that have won ribbons, and 

 all cats over 2 years of age, must be entered in the open class.
