Read about the new and old challenges that judges may face when judging cats, including being a member of a judging panel when the award stakes are high, responding to postings on social media and judging at virtual shows. Be aware that certain aspects of various breeds have resulted in controversy in some countries as well as cautioning's from researchers and veterinarians. Gain insights for when judges are required to justify their decisions and answer exhibitors' queries and how mentors and breeders can assist new exhibitors.
