She said she was impressed by the number and quality of cats entered this year. “We look at the cat’s head, body and personality and temper as well as how well-groomed it is and how well the owner presents it,” she said. “I have an image in my mind of perfection and judge the cat on how it measures up. ”. Heart of Texas Cat Club president Jenny Hamons, of the Lorena area, said a lot of work goes into developing that “image in the mind. The HOT club has show records beginning in 1995. Categories for judging include cats. Jones said 175 is a typical number of entries in the regional show, which also hosts a number of breeding firms and merchandise vendors. She said a couple of agencies planned to have rescued cats available for adoption. As the cats awaited their call for judging, Fort Worth-area breeder Kerry Dolan and her daughter, Kenna Dolan, sat with three of their cats from the Howling Coyote Cattery. Winners of this year’s show will receive awards next year, after the 2015-16 show season. Source: www.wacotrib.com
