The 2025 Cat Fancier Association International Cat Show & Expo took place recently in Ohio. On the main stage you have “Cat-aoke”…where performers “meow” Taylor Swift’s Song “2022”. There were vendors selling cat houses that look like more like condos…and a booth demonstrating a $900 box that promises to dry your freshly-bathed pet quickly and quietly.
10,000 people, and 550 pedigreed cats showed up to one of the
largest Cat shows in the world. Some traveled from as far away
as Finland, Hong Kong, Japan, and Russia. Burmania Pepin of Elessar, A 14-month-old male Bombay, took best in show. And 105 cats were adopted during this Puurrrfect Cat event.
