Participants register their pets at a cat show in Moscow in 1987. In the foreground, a white cat sits calmly in a wicker basket while organizers complete the registration paperwork.

Events like this became increasingly popular in the late Soviet period, reflecting a growing interest in pedigree cats and organized pet exhibitions. The photograph captures a candid moment from the registration desk, where owners and officials prepare the animals for judging.
