Cats are coming!

Mark your calendar for the feline social event of the season: the annual Star City Cat Fancier's show, Jan. 26 and 27 at the Holiday Inn on Ordway Drive near Valley View. [Editor's note: this has been corrected from an earlier posting,]

I have been graced with the company of cats, all of them lovable little strays, for most of my life. Yet I confess I know nothing at all about showing cats and little about different types and breeds. Until I did a little Internet research, I could not tell a Havana Brown from a Javenese. I am pretty sure the kitty in this stock photo is neither. I do think he looks a little annoyed.

If any of you readers are cat show veterans, post a comment and tell us what we should expect.

I have no idea about showing cats or the breeds. All of my cats have always been mixed and adopted as either strays or at adoption places like th SPCA. I couldn't tell you what any breed is except for Siamese..that's only because my friend has four of those!!! The kitty in the picture does look rather annoyed!!!
