Animal Science
Boulder County 4-H Cat Project
The Cat Project provides opportunities for youth to learn, practice and apply animal science knowledge, skills, and abilities to prepare them for success in careers and life. This project places an emphasis on working respectfully, collectively, and in a positive manner to achieve the youth development goals of the 4-H program. We strive to enable youth and adult volunteers to become responsible, self-directed and productive members of society, consistent with the goals and objectives of the National 4-H program.

Project Information & Resources
Record Books / e-Records
4-H Record Books are also called e-Records. Each project has its own record book that members are required to complete each year. Record books have a few times to be checked on progress throughout the year:
- June – your 4-H leader will be sure your books are started and up to date.
- Prior to showing at the Boulder County Fair, your record books will be checked by your superintendent to be sure they are up to date and complete as can be in order to participate and show at the fair.
- Final Companion animal record books are due to be received at the extension office by the second Friday in September. (please note: your 4-H Leader may need an earlier deadline for review and signatures.)
Visit the Colorado 4-H website for additional project info and materials.
Cat Project Exhibit Requirements
All cat exhibits at the Boulder County Fair will consist of the following:
- A completed Cat Display e-Record presented in a sturdy binder/notebook.
- A display board illustrating a topic investigated during the project year. The standardized display board size of 4 ft. x 3 ft. is to be used with 4-H projects. No additional items may be included in front of the display board.
- Project will be evaluated on the quality of the information completed in the e-Record (25 percent) and the quality of the exhibit (75 percent).
