Cat Fanciers’ Association hosts first cat show in Malaysia
IN the bustling city of KL, cat lovers from all over Southeast and West Asia gathered to pick the belle of the ball – the best kitty in town.
For the first time, Malaysia hosted the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) World Show (Awards & Banquet 2025) – International, Division & China, in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026, last Sunday.
“Your confidence in our nation reaffirms our belief – that Malaysia has both the passion and the capability to shine on the world stage,” said Pet Universe Nourish CEO
Patrick Chin.
With 119 years’ worth of legacy, the CFA’s decision to hold the award show in our country marks a momentous chapter in the feline industry that has been growing
steadily.
CFA is an avenue for cat aficionados “who loves and admires the beauty, charm and companionship of cats”.
The weekend’s event was nothing short of splendour, but at its heart was the education on the importance of pet nutrition.
“As we celebrate excellence, we also uphold the values of responsibility, compassion and integrity in how we care for and manage the animals we love.
“Our mission is simple yet meaningful – to humanise pet nutrition and to put pets at the heart of everything we do,” shared Chin, adding that pets are not just companions, but they are family.
The winners of the CFA World Show include 705 cats from Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, China and West Asia (Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi).
