Benching: All exhibitors will have assigned benching. Benching requests
MUST be clearly indicated on the summary sheets, and we will try to
accommodate all requests. No one may
change their benching without permission of Show Management. No one may
leave before the advertised show hours without permission of the Show
Management.
For Sale: Cats and kittens for sale will be permitted. Cages are
restricted to one cat or two kittens per 1/2 cage for the weekend. Once
that animal is sold you may not place another animal for sale into that
cage without paying the appropriate fees. Cats and kittens may not be
stored in kennels or carriers. Kittens must be 3 months of age and have
evidence of litter registration in TICA.
Health Rules: This is a non-vetted cat show. It is recommended that all
entries be up to date on all immunizations. You must be able to produce
a rabies certificate for all entries and cats for sale. Any cats showing
evidence of fungus, ear mites, fleas, or a contagious disease will be
removed from the show hall as well as any other cats from the same
household, and all wins will be forfeited. HHP adults must
be neutered. All claws, front and back, on all entries must be clipped
prior to benching.
Registration: Pedigreed cats and household pets may be shown in TICA
with a pending registration number. Points may be claimed after the
registration number is assigned, but only for the first show where the
cat didn?t have a registration number in the catalogue. Subsequent shows
without a registration number will not be scored. All Korats (kittens,
cats, alters) must be TICA registered to be shown.
Show Rules: This show is sanctioned by The International Cat Association
and is subject to their Show Rules and Breed Standards (available from
the TICA Executive Office, PO Box 2684, Harlingen, TX 78551 or viewed on their website at
www.tica.org). By
entering, all exhibitors agree to abide by the decisions of the Show
Committee and Judges. ThunderKatz, TICA and Oklahoma State Fairgrounds
will be held harmless for any damages, claims, losses, etc. of/to
the exhibitor and his/her entries.
**Please be aware that you MAY NOT place your grooming tables, coolers,
etc. at the end of aisle BECAUSE OF FIRE LAWS, the layout design and
traffic flow. Those wishing end of aisle must follow this rule. We
suggest those needing additional space request a grooming space on the
Summary Sheet.
**Please be sure to confine spraying males (and females!) and clean up
after yourself and your cats so we will be welcome here again. Please
make every effort to leave your room in the condition it was found, or
better. Trash bags (& litter) will be available for your
convenience, at the show hall. If you have a problem you can't take care of yourself,
please let show management know and we will do whatever we can to help.
The condition of your room reflects on the entire cat fancy, and it only
takes one mishap to lose a hotel (even a whole chain) forever.
