Until cat people end their fruitless search for the dog park’s feline equivalent, a beloved local event continues to deliver our best cat-watching opportunity: the Allbreed, Household Pet, and Agility Cat Show, which can melt even the coldest of hearts. Cats of every variety await their grooming routines inside personalized booths while kittens successfully avoid every designated marker in the nearby agility course. Also, this cat contest isn’t just for purebreds — there’s an entire household division that gives even that lazy sunbather in your bay window a shot at glory. Whether you actually understand how cat judging works (I don’t) or you just love watching cats do anything (I definitely do), Nashville Cat Club’s annual show is the best ticket in tabby town.
