An International Affair
A meow-nificent gathering of over 250 furry feline superstars descended upon Spalding, England, turning the town into the ultimate cat lover's paradise. It was the town’s third international cat show, and it had everything a cat enthusiast could dream of. From majestic Maine Coons to sassy Siamese, cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities took over the Springfields Events Centre, ready to steal the spotlight.
But it wasn't just about the fluff and the whiskers. Behind the scenes, organizer extraordinaire Stephen Winmin made sure every whisker was in place for the purr-fect show. With a panel of five eagle-eyed judges on the prowl, every cat strutted its stuff, flaunting its unique charm and athleticism on the catwalk. And while the competition was fierce, it wasn't all about winning ribbons. It was also a chance for fellow cat lovers to come together, swap tales of feline antics, and bask in the glorious quirks of our whiskered companions. So here's to celebrating the diversity and downright adorableness of our four-legged friends, one paw-some cat show at a time.

How You Can Protect Against Fleas
Did you Know?
- Only 5% of flea infestations consist of adult fleas? That means 95% of the average infestation is made up of immature fleas like flea eggs, larvae, and pupae.
- Fleas can transmit life-threatening illnesses and can be active all year round, depending on where you live!
- Fleas jump on animals to feed on their blood, causing itching, discomfort, and potentially transmitting diseases.

Fleas are prolific breeders, and an untreated infestation can quickly spread through your home, impacting your family members as well. Fleas can also bite humans, causing itchy red bumps.

How to Show Your Cat
If you're thinking of dipping your toes into the glamorous world of competitive catting, there are a few things you should know. Unlike dog shows where handlers strut their stuff beside their canine companions, cat shows are more laid-back affairs. Cat handlers get to hang out in the crowd, leaving the spotlight all to our fabulous feline friends.
Some cats thrive in the limelight, while others might prefer to stay home and lounge. So, before you dive headfirst into the world of cat shows, make sure your furball is mentally and physically ready for the spotlight. That means plenty of grooming sessions to make them shine and get them used to being handled by strangers. And if you're not quite ready to take the plunge, that's okay too – you can always check out a show as a spectator first. So, grab your kitty, brush up on those grooming skills, and who knows? Your feline friend just might take home that coveted Grand Champion title.
