Morris in his Director's Chair

Now, for those of you in and around New York, New Jersey and Connecticut who want to see a real bunch of glamour pusses, mark your calendars for this weekend, November 17 and 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. That's when the Westchester Feline Club, a TICA-affiliated cat club, presents its annual cat show in White Plains, New York.

The show will feature 230 show cats of over 30 breeds, vendors with all kinds of cat paraphernalia, lectures by cat authors and specialists, face painting and fun for the kids, birthday parties for shelter kitties, and cats for adoption among other happenings. If your cat is just a regular Joe, you can enter him in the Household Pet Competition (pre-registration required). What's more, everyone's favorite puddy, 9 Lives spokescat, Morris, will be there on Saturday to accept his award as cat of the year for his work on Morris' Million Cat Rescue Campaign, a traveling tour that raises awareness about rescues and helps find new homes for shelter cats. You can visit with Morris, and if you rub him under the chin politely, have a photo taken with him to take home.

Author, Matthew Van Fleet, will also be at the show on Saturday looking for photogenic volunteers for the follow-up to his bestselling book, "DOG." Van Fleet will do a reading for children at 11:30. And for cats and their owners who want the best in kitty fashions, Meow-Wear kitty ensembles will be modeled by several glamour pusses. Best of all, proceeds from the show are donated to local animal shelters and rescue groups.
