Cat show featuring agility competition
PHOENIXVILLE ” Cats from all over the country will be converging at CAT-Pickering this weekend for the Nova Cat Fanciers Allbreed Cat Show. Along with breed standard judging, cat agility trials will be sure to entertain the onlookers.
Does that catch your curiosity? Yes, cats can run an obstacle course! For the past decade, the sport of dog agility has taken the country by storm. Dogs are leaping over hurdles, caroming around weave poles and diving through tunnels. Cats will get their chance on Saturday and Sunday. The course will include tunnels, hoops, weave poles, stair steps and low, medium and high hurdles. Expect some cats to zoom through the course in just seconds.

I just discovered that there is a cat show this weekend near my home, and that it will feature an obstacle course (described as a series of “agility trials”). This might be worth seeing. It’s hard to picture.

I’m seriously thinking about going to this. Out of curiousity, really. My understanding is that it has a heavily evangelical, proselytizing flavor, but that isn’t really indicated by the website.
