BREEDS

The various breeds which the NSW CFA recognise are divided up into three groups for judging purposes, below is a table showing which breeds belong to which group. Cats are judged according to a written Standard for their breed. A breed standard is precise enough to allow Judges to evaluate cats accurately, yet flexible enough to leave room for differences in interpretation between judges of sharp eye and fair intention.
