Dubai International Cat Show

The Dubai Creek Side Park had it's annual Cat Show. This year, Akash, Lucky and I went to witness the event and got to meet tonnes of cat lovers from aroud the country. It's interesting to note that in this part of the world, despite the weather, people prefer to keep long haired himalayan cats over other other short-haired breeds.

Lucky wasn't too happy to see the other felines at the event and hissed and spat at every other cat he saw but overall the evening was quite enjoyable.
