June 11, 2019

Following a year-long parade of cat shows around the world, the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) announces its best cats in the Championship, Kitten, Premiership, and Household Pets competitive classes for the 2018-19 show season, which ended April 30, 2018.

Pedigreed and non-pedigreed cats competed for points during the year with the winners tabulated for CFA’s flagship regions one through nine, China and CFA’s international division. CFA’s competitive regions one through nine include the United States, Canada, Japan, and Europe. Because of the growth of the cat fancy in China, its competitors are scored separately. The International Area includes the rest of Asia, as well as the Middle East and South America.
