shop, why not seize the opportunity to enrich his experience? Perhaps he could boast about it in front of others in the future!

Since 2016, the CFA had officially separated China from other regions and had set a sole region for it — the China region — while the rest of the world, including the United States, belonged to the international region.
The message was clear: the Chinese had gone too far and the rest of the world complained about them.
Setting up their own region, the Chinese could entertain themselves.

This incident was triggered by more gossip.

Some famous catteries in China that specialized in breeding Ragdoll kittens had attained tremendous scores by counterfeiting fake licenses, bringing more cats to the competition, and having the female cats give birth frequently in short periods.
Their scores were so high that no catteries from other countries could rival with them.
Under strong protests from other countries, the CFA made the resolute decision and cut China region off.

Faking licenses was a traditional means of counterfeiting, and was similar to faking driving licenses.
Bringing more cats to the competition was a malicious abuse of CFA’s rules—the higher the number of cats participating in the game, the higher scores the champion cat could get.
Letting female cats conceive and give birth frequently were odious means.
It was said that after the first litter, in less than two months, some female cats had given birth to their second litter.
Such catteries just treated the female cats as birth machines, and they were severely punished by the CFA.

Therefore, even with the premium-conditioned Ragdoll kittens provided by Blue Climax, Zhang Zian was not interested in participating in China's CFA competition, which was completely a game designed for people who could exploitoopholes, come up with fraudulent methods, and be more ruthless to their cats.
When the game was related to their interests, many people could go very low.
These so-called standard catteries, in private, were not as good as the Pets’ Home Breeding Base.

However, he was still interested in participating in the CFA competition in the United States.
After all, here was still a pure land for fair competition.

Tim stood up from the table and walked to the wall to check the hanging calendar, upon which some important days had been marked up.

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten—that’s today.” Tim sat back and had the last bite of the omelette, “What’s the matter, Jeff? Did you want to attend the tournament?”

“Is it today?” Shocked, Zhang Zian was almost choked by the bread in his mouth.
He quickly drank some orange juice to suppress his astonishment.

Damn it! What went wrong? When in China, he asked Tim about this question, and Tim's answer was tomorrow.
How could it suddenly change to today? Did the CFA change the schedule last minute?

“Wait a second, Tim, I remember you saying it was going to be held tomorrow.
How come it has changed to today?” Richard asked him.

“Sorry, my fault.” Tim apologized and waved his hand.
“When I flew to China from the United States, my mind was muddled, and I mistook the date, so I told you it would be held tomorrow.”

Oh! Zhang Zian also thought for a few seconds before he understood.
After flying over the international date change line, Tim was confused by the date? That made sense.

He had always thought that the competition would be held tomorrow.
Fortunately, he had asked Richard to confirm today, or else he would have missed it.

“I remember the venue is not far from here?” asked Richard.

“Not very far, you can arrive there very quickly by driving.
If you want to go, I can tell you the routes.” Said Tim.
Hesitating for a moment, then he asked again: “Jeff, are you going to take the golden cat to participate?”

Seeing the strange look on Tim’s face, Zhang Zian wondered what he had thought of.
Richard replied for him, “That's right, but just for fun, not thinking of winning any awards.”

“I see…” Tim and Lauren glanced at each other.

“Is there a problem?” Richard asked, and Zhang Zian put up his puzzled expression.

Tim said somewhat embarrassedly, “Jeff, do you mind if I ask you something? If I'm right, your cat is an Egyptian Mau?”

“It is indeed,” Zhang Zian nodded.

Tim sighed, “Then does it have a studbook? You know, cats without studbooks are not eligible for the CFA Tournament.”

Zhang Zian was dumbfounded.
He didn’t have one of those for Fina!

His awkward look had confirmed Tim's suspicions—that the cat was not a purebred Egyptian Mau, so it didn’t possess a studbook.
