Dozens of showboating felines will descend upon Deer Park in January as the Houston suburb hosts the International Cat Show.

The event, to be held Jan. 28-29 at the Jimmy Burke Activity Center, will include more than 50 cat breeds, a cage decorating contest, raffles, pet adoptions and vendors.

A junior exhibition program will teach participants about the process of showing a cat.

SPEAK THE LANGUAGE: What your dog means when it makes these gestures

The Feline Paw Foundation promises even those who are not "cat people" will have a good time. The event is promoted as "Felines, Football and Fun," but there is no word yet on what type of football activities the cats will be participating in.
