Photos of LA’s Cat Show People

Every few months, at the Glendale Convention Center in Los Angeles, there is a cat show. The cats are fluffed and primped before competing for prizes, and for national titles in the Cat Fanciers’ Association. The energy is intense and the place smells like a giant litter box. Here are some scenes from the recent cat shows, and the people who return to the competitions month after month.
