This coming weekend, Monaco’s Espace Léo Ferré will welcome some 165 cats to the International Cat Show, an event organised by the De Gati De Mùnegu association. More than 20 different breeds are expected to be on display, from Maine Coons to Persian and Siberian felines.

On Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th January, some of the world’s most beautiful cats and their handlers will be taking part in the eighth Exposition Féline Internationale de Monaco at the Espace Léo Ferré.

In total, 165 cats and more than 80 breeders will participate in the showcase, with 23 different breeds represented, from Maine Coons, Scottish Folds, Devon Rexes and Chartreux cats to Persians, Bengals, Abyssinians, Somalis, Ragdolls, Siberians, Siamese and Turkish Angoras.

Seven respected judges from countries across the globe—including France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Poland and the US—will crown the winning felines in both Loof and Tica categories. Special Coup de Cœur prizes will also be awarded to the judges’ personal favourites.

The event will run from 10am to 6pm each day. Tickets are priced at €10 for visitors aged 13 and over, €5 for children aged six to 13 and free for children under six.
