The Cat of the Year Award is GCCF’s own celebration of our very best show cats, kittens and neuters, awarded on a points system at all GCCF Championship shows (with the exception of the Supreme) for Best of Variety, Overall BOV in each section, and Overall Best in Show.
PLEASE NOTE, The report dates include all shows that have been cleared in that time frame. If a show has not been cleared, the COTY report will not include these points. Please allow 4 weeks for a show to be fully cleared and the COTY points to be added, if after 4 weeks you believe there is a mistake in the points please email info@gccfcats.org

Although the GCCF show year now follows the calendar year, the collection of Cat of The Year show points for 2026 will be awarded from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026; the COTY show year will now always be during the months September to the following August.
Once scoring is started the leaders’ information will be given out, these will then be posted on the GCCF website periodically.
The scoring will be as simple as possible so that ALL are aware & know who the leaders are & will be posted on a monthly basis to allow time for any adjustments to be made.
All shows will carry as far as is practicably possible a similar level of scoring, to ensure Breed & All Breed are on a par with each other.
- 1 point for Best of Variety Cat/Kitten & Neuter (1)
- 1 additional Point for Overall Best of Variety (2)
- 1 additional Point for Overall Best in Show (3)
- Maximum Number of Points at any single show will be 3 Points
Kitten points will NOT be carried forward to either Adult or Neuter status, and Adult points will NOT be carried over into Neuter status.
There will be an Overall winner in Cat, Kitten & Neuter categories, with an Overall Winner selected from those 3 exhibits in each Section.
The same criteria will apply for Pet Classes:
Best HP / Pedigree Pet (whether adult or kitten), 1 point each
Overall Winner an additional 2 points
The system of scoring will be reviewed if necessary, to ensure complete fairness for all.
