show cats
Prized pedigreed felines
Show cats are cats bred and groomed to compete in formal exhibitions judged on breed standards, appearance, and temperament.
The term also describes the competitions themselves: We're going to show cats this weekend in Portland.
By extension, any elaborate display of pedigreed animals or precious objects might be called show cats: Her collection of vintage teacups was pure show cats.
