Judge Profile

Michelle Magrath

"The best cat in the show is the one the cat that
each exhibitor they takes home at the end of the
day, as every cat is special, they each deserve the
same care, consideration and attention. I believe it
is important to produce a professional result for the club and contribute to the shows success and
enjoyment by exhibitors and spectators. Shows
should be fun: entertaining, educational and
interesting."

I have always had a passion for animals, particularly of the feline and equine variety, I have bred and raised horses of various breeds, Siamese and Oriental cats and am now look forward to the challenges of the next show season which includes developing my interest in Cat Agility.

I gained my Cattery prefix in 2001 and since then I have enjoyed breeding raising and showing my kittens and cats, which have achieved considerable success in the show ring and Cat and Kitten of the Year awards. I have enjoyed owning and caring for a number of other breeds of cats including Sphynx, Burmese, British, Persian and Birmans.

I have been actively involved with a number of clubs, held various positions, developed and maintained websites and databases for numerous clubs and organisations.

I thrive on the professional challenge of judging the wide variety of Shorthair cats on the show bench. I have a wide knowledge of all breeds and it is a privilege to judge and enjoy the beautiful cats entrusted to me on show day.
