The first International Cat Shows for 2017 will be taking place on February 11 and 12 at Smart City.

A wide variety of breeds will be on display, including Bengals, Devon Rex, Himalayans, Maine coons, Persians, Sphynx and also household cats.

Two show days full of activities will see the participation of babies, kittens and adults, both spayed and domestic cats. The competition will be judged by Olga Dentico from Italy and Alla Sermoglu from Turkey.

The World Cat Federation Rings in this competition are the Adult Ring, Neuter Ring and Kitten Ring, as well as the Speciality Ring, which will award distinct cat features. The Fun Ring this month is themed “Purrfect Match” given the feast of St Valentine. Owners and cats will be paired wearing costumes, accessories or anything to do with the special occasion.
