And yellow each to be distinct and clear of the other

And yellow each to be distinct and clear of the other

A mixture of three black, red, and yellow each to be
distinct and clear of the other, with sharp edges, not one
colour running into the other, but in small irregular patches
of great brilliancy of tint, the red and yellow to
preponderate over the black. If the colours are deep and
rich, and the variegation harmonious, the effect is very
fine.

The greater is the chance of winning

Bear in mind that the higher and better condition your cat is in on its arrival at the show, the greater is the chance of winning.

Do not put carpet or woollen fabrics in the basket, but plenty of good, sweet hay or oat-straw; this will answer all purposes, and does not get sodden.

If you use a padlock for the fastening, do not forget to send the key to the manager of the show, as is sometimes the case.
