I’m a sucker for cats. I’m not gonna lie. Pass me a kitten, and I’d play with it the whole day, biting my lips while I’m at it. Pass me a full-grown cat, and..well, I’d still play with it. Those adorable critters. Grr. Geram.

Oh, yeah. I think you know where I’m going with this one.

She loves her kittens.

I was at The Spring for the Cat Exhibition yesterday afternoon. It’s been a while since the last cat exhibition in Kuching. The last one I went to left me underwhelmed. Disappointed. I can’t exactly remember why, but I think it had something to do with the fact that I was popping flu pills by the time I was done.

The crowd checking out the cats on display.

The turnout for the event was pretty impressive.

I didn’t stick around for too long because I had to pick my cousin up from the airport, but an hour was more than enough to scout around. The cats that were on display ranged from the common household cat, to the rarer, more exotic ones like the Bengal and the Maine Coon. The adorable Turkish Van and Scottish Fold were there too.

The siamese cat. I think.

There was also a competition of some sort. The judge stood below the escalator with a mic in one hand, spewing out tips and tricks for the masses, while judging the participating cats. What I loved the most about the cat show? There were a few rare breeds that I’ve always wanted to see ever since Mom gave me the book on cats roughly 8 years ago.

Yeeah. I had a book on cats, and I think I still do. *cue audible scoff from non-existent reader*

Anyway, the rare ones were the highlight of the day. For me at least.

I’m not sure what breed this cat is, but it sure looks adorable.

The Maine Coon.

People just loved them. Obviously these cats have been taken care of properly. They’ve been groomed, fed, and showered with so much attention by their owners. Some of them love the attention, like the Bengal (not pictured), while some of them just look cocky as hell, curled up in a corner, not willing to move – like that Maine Coon up there – but heeeey, they’re still cats, and we love them all the same.

Purr.

Oh, yes. I love kittens, I love cats..and there’s one I’d like to take home with me. Rawrrr. ;P

The Cat Exhibition at tHe Spring started on Saturday (06.09.08) and ends today (Sunday – 07.09.08).
