Cat show planned for this weekend

You may as well call this Saturday “Caturday” in Lawrence.

More than 100 cats and their owners will be traveling in from throughout the region for the Kansas City Midwest Cat Show at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St.

Twenty-three breeds will be represented and each cat will be judged within its category: kitten, adult, household or altered. The show and the judges are affiliated with the American Cat Fanciers Association, an international purebred cat registry.

The show will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for children, seniors and millitary personnel and free for children under 6.

Raffles, a silent auction, information booths and vendors selling cat supplies will be part of the event.
