Hundreds of cats to descend upon Springfield for ‘cat-tastic’ show

Hundreds of cats and their owners are headed to Springfield in August.

Nauticats is hosting The International Cat Association (TICA) sanctioned show, Back-to-Back TOES, on Aug. 16 and 17 at Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel.

The show has a 250 cat limit and features all kinds of cats from Maine Coons to sleek Siamese, "our shows showcase the diversity and beauty of feline companionship‚" the website states.

And it's not just the typical championship cats. Household cats have their own competition.

"Whether you're a seasoned cat lover or new to the world of cats, these shows are a delightful experience filled with learning, admiration, and fun," the website reads.

This year's theme is Dr. Seuss. So, beware of any cats in hats ready to show you some tricks.

Beyond the competitions, there will be interactive exhibits, live demonstrations, educational seminars, activities for kids and shopping.
