It took place in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. Also below is a short video about the breeder of this magnificent cat. She is a Russian lady. Russians do breed good cats; it has to be said. She must be based in the UK. She says that the Siberian is alleged to be hypoallergenic. There may be some credence in that but I'm not sure that it is fully established. 

Here he is being judged - manhandled, er 'womanhandled' by the show judge.

A lot of people say that it is true but what might be truer is that some cats are more hypoallergenic than others but in general all domestic cats are not hypoallergenic which means that they cause an allergic reaction in about 10% of people who are predisposed to the allergen in their saliva which is Fel D 1.
