Answer 1

Hi, yes you can enter your domestic shorthair tabby in a cat show - they have classes for them. Your tabby does not have to be registered to enter but he does need to have all his vaccinations uptodate.

Here's a list of the upcoming shows (held under GCCF rules):

There are links to the clubs, etc on the site.

Another cat registering body is TICA - there is a list of TICA shows here:

I don't know about getting animals onto tv - but maybe contacting one of the companies listed on this site will help:

Answer 2

There are many online contests where you can submit cat pictures for judging based on their looks.

And some cat shows have a division for house pets, which judges on looks and temperment. But they need to be really friendly, calm and willing to have strangers check them out all within the chaos of an indoor show hall. Not all animals are up for that.

Answer 3

Your cat sounds cute!!! yes you can show cats in the u.k, i've seen it on t.v! Maybe you should look into training your cat for shows as it teaches them to sit and stay and be good!! which would be helpful if you wanted your cat to be a model for i.e calenders, books etc.... good luck
