Welcome to CFA's newest feature, Feline Agility Competition, which accents the grace, athleticism, and curiosity that make cats so fascinating!  CFA-Iams Cat Championship is pleased to host Feline Agility as part of its multi-attraction event at Madison Square Garden.

Imagine cats and kittens running through tunnels, leaping hurdles, dancing around weave poles, and scampering over ramps - all with the proud encouragement of their exhibitors. Toys can be used as chase targets to help the cats stay on course; treats help hold attention and reward a course well-run. The obstacles are adjusted for size and height of competitors.

Orientation is available for newcomers, then each cat/person team starts with one or more practice runs. Scoring is based on the best of several runs (including practice). Completing all obstacles is the goal, with speed used as a tiebreaker. Many cats enjoy the Agility challenge and love putting on a show while they play. Spectators encourage the cats and applaud winners, who will receive ribbons and rosettes, with the top three overall awarded medallions and cash prizes.

Cat Agility is open to all domestic cats, both pedigreed and non-pedigreed. For the CFA-Iams Cat Championship show, pre-entry is encouraged, but not required.  If you would like your cat to compete, click here to  Join in the Fun!
