It's a star-studded cat-stravaganza.
Cat Fanciers of B.C. is hosting its annual regional fall show next week in White Rock, promising three days of feline flair Sept. 16-18.
A Star Studded Affair is a three-day championship and household pet cat show at Pacific Inn Convention Centre at 1160 King George Boulevard in White Rock.
There will be 15 judging rings where spectators can watch the event, and an exhibitors area where the cats can be viewed when they're not competing.
Competitions for all classes go on throughout the weekend, and will feature a broad variety of different breeds.
Cloverdale's Shirley and Jeff Byington are among the regional competitors taking part in the show. They're bringing three of their show cats to the competition – Makato, a Japanese Bobtail shorthair, Rhyannon, a black smoke Kurilian bobtail longhair (both will be entered in the 'Alter' category), and their tortoiseshell/white household cat Cinnamon Spice Latte.
The International Cat Association recognizes more than 60 breeds for championship competition and exhibition, and many – but not all – will be represented at the show.
Visitors can browse the vendor area for cat toys, food and supplies. Cat rescue organizations will also be on hand, with cats that are up for adoption.
The show runs Friday, Sept. 16 from 4:30-10 p.m., Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is $6 for adults, $4 for seniors (65 and over), and children under 12 are free with adult admission.
