All About Showing...
Here at Caricature, we show our cats regularly. In the course of showing, our cats learn to be calm amid bustle and noise, to trust people, to lose their shyness. They are beautiful, and we love sharing that beauty with spectators, and we have made good friends over the years at shows. Often, people come to shows to learn about the different breeds, or just to look at the pretty cats. There is lots to see and do at a show; come look at the world of showing!
