In 1995 I - Christoph Riedel - was able to pass my first examination: the breeds were Siamese and Oriental Shorthair, because I bred this breeds at this time.


It took seven years on passing all the examinations to any breeds, so now you can call me an "all breed judge".


It is a marvellous hobby, because every time at a show I am next to cats and I am able to meet different cat fanciers in partial unusual locations. Yes, it is a hobby, it is not my business. Because from Monday to Friday I must earn my money elsewhere…


I like to go to cat shows if there are definite rules according to judging (e. g. according to GCCF standard or to the CFA's one, FiFé or TICA).  

I am able to speak and to write in English (and German, my native language, of course), I judged in a lot of European countries, amongst others I was judging at the world's largest cat show in London: The National.

A marvellous picture of me... Excellent drawing by Jurij Didenko, this was done at KFND cat show in 2011.


But normally I do not step on the cat's tail...
