Learn about you cat or the many breeds at the annual National Capital Cat Show in suburban Chantilly, Virginia.

Again this years, over 500 cats compete at the Cat Fanciers’ Association Debutante’s Ball in various competitions.

And remember, dogs have owners…cats simply have staffs.

There’s several categories of contacts including a cat agility competition. There’s also no cat swimming contest, but I suspect if so, this scuba diving Calico named Hawkeye, would have taken that prize.
