At the Lane County Events Center Auditorium, the Cats were the stars of the show.

The event saw well over 120 cats attend, with cat carriers lining rows and rows of tables.

Hobby breeders came with hundreds of feline friends, many of which were happy to get lots of attention. There were also groomers, pet supply merchants, and animal rescue booths.

Eventgoers were able to pet and play with the cats.

One hobby breeder is Mark Baur, who brought his 9-month old cat Charlie to the show.

And while cat-enthusiasts get to learn about all the different breeds, even Baur has learned a few things about Charlie during these shows.

"People have been pretty enthusiastic about Charlie, cause she's pretty mellow and engaging. She likes her people and we've discovered through the shows that we're not her only people. And she just likes being out and seeing things."

While many of the cats were content to snooze, some cats got to be part of the pageantry, competing for ribbons based on how well they've been groomed.

The event was put on by McKenzie River Cat Club.
