Why don't Kittens earn Clean Runs and Titles?
Kittens have a wonderful time playing on the agility course, but the are only playing. They are not really agility cats who know what they are doing.
In the photos below, you can see the difference between a kitten on the course, and an adult on the course.
This is why Kittens can compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place winner on the Basic Course, but not earn Clean Run certificates toward their Agility Cat title. Only the adult cats (8 months or more) can earn titles.
