The 17th annual international feline showcase takes place today, Sat. Feb. 2, at the Omni Hotel Ballroom from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. The entry fee is $3 for children and $5 for adults.

There are over 60 breeds of cats from all around the world at the show. Some exhibitors come from as far away as China.

Today’s show consists of over 120 cats that will be judged.

Stella won best kitten in the show three times yesterday.

“It’s a Scottish Fold, they were originated in Scotland by one barn cat named Susie that had the folded ears. And everyone of the ones nowadays are descendant from that one cat,” said cat owner, Linda Rich.

Today and tomorrow’s show is from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
