I don't show my cats. I used to many years ago, but I'm over it. I showed my cats mostly on the eastern seaboard of the US and they did very well. It was very expensive to do, but it was a great and fun hobby.
Now, I am more concerned with the welfare of all cats, especially cats and kittens with no owners. It's a better way to spend your money! Ca-R-Ma is the best volunteer group for the spay/neuter of cats with no owners.
Plum is the mother of Lily (who I originally called Anne). Below is an email from Lily"s owners!
