Handling Skills (20 points)
20 points - junior/cat interaction - observable in the ring as well as through questions asked about the responsibility of caring totally for his/her cat. The judge should take into consideration the appropriateness of the cat chosen by the junior (such as a small 8 year old attempting to handle a large full grown MC, or a junior attempting to handle an uncontrollable cat would not be conducive to long term success)

Overall Presentation (40 points)
The quality of the cat is NOT judged. Juniors are observed keeping in mind age/level appropriateness. The judge will ask questions at the end of the presentation. 20 points for demonstration and presentation such as a judge would do to a cat during a final - telling about each significant feature on the cat (breed/hhp, color, pattern, size, body part shapes, etc) 20 points for knowledge of the breed or basic hhp knowledge, cat care, grooming, and ring readiness - judge asks impromptu questions that are relative to the cat the child is presenting in the ring.
