There are standards the judges must go by to award points to a cat. The standards are somewhere online. TICA has information on showing cats:
http://www.tica.org/showing-cats including how to enter. You won't know how well your cat will do until you actually do show the kitty. The kitty must like being handled by strangers and able to interact with toys and be content to be caged for hours. Where your cat places will depend on how many cats are entered. A smaller cat show, your baby will do better. If there are 160 cats ... maybe not so much. But, any points you get will continue to add up as you continue to show your kitty. A cat can receive Championship status in one show if they place high enough. It's 6,000 points to a Supreme Grand Champion.
I don't know the particular standards. Just know that showing a cat is hard work with making sure your kitty is in tip top shape, traveling, expenses, etc. And whether or not your cat is going to enjoy going to the shows. Some cats want no part of it.
