Each breed has specific standards that clearly identify beauty. The evaluation process takes into account how closely the cat matches the ideal standard for its breed, in addition to the care it has received and its temperament.
The winners of the competition will receive certificates, trophies, and ribbons from the WCF. Furthermore, all participants will get gift boxes containing pet supplies worth SAR 1000.
