A: It's the CFA International Cat Show, held every year the weekend before Thanksgiving. CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) bills it as "the largest international pedigreed cat show in the Western Hemisphere." The show is held in different cities each year. This year, it will be held this weekend, November 21-22, 2009, at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta, GA - hence "Catlanta."
In addition to competitions among the finest pedigreed cats in the world, visitors will be able to learn more about their favorite cat breeds with breed booth displays offering the history and information about various breeds. In addition, a Breed Showcase will run continuously, providing information about popular as well as rare cat breeds. If you plan to attend, also plan to bring extra cash and/or some plastic, because the vendors' booth area is a one-stop shopping heaven for every kind of cat product you can imagine. There will be cat towers, cat toys, and scratching posts galore, as well as a huge variety of cat toys, grooming tools, and much more. If you live in the Atlanta area and love cats, this show is the must-see of the year.
