How do you hold a cat for a cat show?

My boy Teddy is going to a cat show tomorrow, and I always see the professionals carrying their cats above their heads with their hands under their belly and armpits or something similar.

How do I do this? And is there a term for this type of carrying?

by the tail
I saw this at a cat show back in '98. Not sure if they use a different technique nowadays, but here goes:

Take both hands, extend your index finger and thumb as far away from each other as you can, and place under the cat's underarms and upper thighs with the thumbs facing you and the index fingers pointing away from you. Gently, stretch the cat and lift him/her straight up.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
