SINGAPORE – Over this weekend at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, some 110 cats are being sized up: coat, build and attitude all under scrutiny before international judges.
The feline beauty pageant, sanctioned by the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) – the world’s largest pedigreed cat registry – is one of the highlights of the two-day Asia Cat Expo 2026.
Maine Coons, with their signature square muzzles and long, bushy tails, and Siberians with their unique triple coats and barrel-shaped bodies, dominate the show benches. The two forest breeds – both among the CFA’s top 10 most popular – are hard to miss.
