International Cat Day, August 8th, was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare. World Cat Day is celebrated on 17 February in much of Europe and on 1 March in Russia.
Department Chair: Lisa DeScenza. The cat show takes place on Sunday morning from 10 a.m. to noon. Cats are judged earlier in the morning on appearance and personality. Cat owners are judged on fitting and showmanship (how well they handle their animals and how knowledgeable they are about them). Please make a point of stopping by to visit the cats on Sunday morning!
