Cat Fight!!!!

by Jon on August 26th, 2007

Watch as 500 cats from around the nation fight it out at one of the largest cat shows in the country, nicknamed the Debutante’s Ball.

This Cat Fanciers’ Association competition is composed of a number of separate, concurrently running, individual competitions held in the various judging rings. Each show has its own judge and each ring has either Allbreed or Specialty cats competing.  Allbreeds allow any cat regardless of coat type (or length), while the a Specialty ring allows only cats of similar coat length (or type) to compete.

The show also features a selection of cat supplies, food and cat-friendly people to answer your cat questions.

So, are you a cat person or a dog person?
