What really happens at a CFA Cat Show? I had the pleasure of attending the largest cat show in the Western United States, the San Diego Cat Show.
I was able to capture the magic of the event, the beautiful cats, and interview many cat owners on why they devote their lives to their cats.

You totally captured the magic! I hope to one day go to a cat show. The cats are all gorgeous. What a fun event for cat lovers ❤
Thank you
thank you for sharing this awesome video. years ago i bought my first persian to breed, a gorgeous blue persian, the next year my brother took me to a cat show in the same city. we were walking through the isles & saw my cat! of coarse it wasn't her but it was her father, it was so exciting to see how identical they were, while all of her kittens were just as beautiful as she was none of them looked exactly like her & her father. thanks for bringing that experience back to me.
The cat show looks so fun! I never heard of Lykoi cats before, they are so cute. I hope they become officially recognized.
What a great time at the cat show in San Diego!! Thanks for the link to the CFA cat shows. As part of doing my research before getting a cat, I went to the one in Louisville, KY last October. It is a small show. No rescues there. You couldn't really talk with the breeders. One of the handouts indicated that the public shouldn't engage the breeders as they were busy preparing their cats to show. I didn't know this until close to the end of my time there. I couldn't figure out why people were so unfriendly. The only person who would talk with me was a woman who was showing a few cats as pets. Anyway, I left somewhat unenthused. Totally different from the dog shows I used to go to in the same city. I see that there is a show in the city where I now live. I will give that one a try this summer. Thanks again for your channel – you have 2 beautiful cats😺.
I wish I had known about this. I’m in Orange County and would’ve gone down to SD for this. In Pomona at the Fairplex today there’s a cat adoption event
I'd love to go there some day every cat is beautiful 💜💜💜
i loove your videos so much. i wish i could go to a cat show
hehhehehheeh
They're all beautiful! I love them all! I haven't been to any cat shows here in Denmark, and your video inspired me to start my research. 🙂 Would love to see Teemo and Arya on one of the shows someday!
awh so much love for these cats!
Damm good video 2 very big thumbs up heck I will use my 2 big toes to give 4 thumbs up
That was a really interesting video – thanks for sharing your visit! I’ve never been to a cat show, and while on the one hand I’d love to see so many different cats, I know it’s really not my jam! Mostly for sensory overload reasons with so many people and conversations all happening at once in that kind of big open echoey space… but also because I feel so bad for the cats when they’re in those little cages, or sometimes when they’re being handled by some of the judges. And also just imagining how they must feel so overwhelmed with so many people and other cats in such a big space etc! I mean, that’s totally how I feel so I might just be projecting my feelings onto them 😂
My neighbour has an Abyssinian cat named Miso, but he’s more of a greyish brown colour than the gorgeous red and red-brownish Abys and Somalis here! Those Somalis are so gorgeous 😻 I looked after Miso for the weekend at short notice last year, and while I had met him a couple of times before and he seemed fine and friendly, OH BOY had he changed his tune 😅 I guess because I smelled of my own cats, but he got VERY territorially defensive and tried not to let me into his flat to feed him, and was hissing and growling and the whole works! I’ve never had a cat react to me like that before (my other neighbours’ Ragdolls who I look after quite often don’t care that I go and see them smelling like two Maine Coons 😹… thankfully my two don’t mind too much when I come home smelling of two Ragdolls either! 😆), and while it was initially a bit of a shock and had me worried about how I was going to look after him, it quickly became very funny to me (and thankfully to his owner later on when I sent her the videos! 🤣) – he would also alternate hissing at me and giving me all this attitude with rubbing his head against my hand, then rinse, repeat! For the subsequent meals I did my best to wear clean clothes that my cats hadn’t been too close to, thoroughly washed my hands etc, and also went armed with a pocket full of treats – bribery eventually worked! He was basically a demon for the first 3 meals, but by the 4th he decided I was actually alright, and was immediately pleased to see me and full of purrs! Definitely the weirdest cat I’ve ever encountered 😸
Thank you for the video! I never thought that I'd seriously consider going to a cat show someday
Pangur does 8 different tricks, including sit, spin, kiss and high five. I taught him with a clicker. He's really smart so he wasn't hard to teach. None of my other cats do tricks, I don't have the patience to teach cats unless they are super smart.
We got Somali cat (girl) Ally 🥰🥰 she's very active breed (12 years young) she loves cuddling ( but only when she wants it😂) she is a bit like a dog, she goes with us for walks, and when we enter the house she waits for us🥰 Great cats ☺️, unfortunately, very rare breed😢
Wow beautiful cats.
