is the website for CFA cat shows in the
Atlanta, Georgia area. We hope you will attend one
of our shows to see the many different types of
pedigreed cats. All of these cats are registered
with The Cat Fanciers' Association, Inc. ( CFA), the world's largest
registry of pedigreed cats. CFA recognizes 40
different breeds or divisions of pedigreed cats.
The official show season runs from the beginning
of May through the end of April. Cats and their
owners travel throughout the United States on any
given weekend to compete for the title of Best
Cat. Georgia is fortunate to have been the home of
many national Best Cats, Best Kittens, and Best
Cats in Premiership over the
years. | |

English Cat
Catches the Daily Bus for Four
Years
Casper, which is 12 years old, boards the No3
service at 10.55am from outside his home in
Plymouth, Devon, and travels the entire 11-mile
route before returning home about an hour later.
 On
the route, the cat passes an historic dockyard and
naval base, a city centre, several suburbs and the
city's red light
district.
Susan Finden, 65, a care worker who is
Casper's owner, said: "Casper has always
disappeared for hours at a time but I never
understood where he was going. I called him Casper
because he had a habit of vanishing like a ghost.
But then some of the drivers told me he had been
catching the bus."
"I couldn't believe it
at first, but it explains a lot. He loves people
and we have a bus stop right outside our house so
that must be how he got started - just following
everyone on. I used to catch the odd bus too so
maybe he saw me and got curious what I was
doing."
"Casper is quite quick for his age so he just
hops on to the bus before the doors close. He
catches the 10.55am service and likes to sit on
the back seat."
Rob Stonehouse, one of the drivers on the
route, said: "He usually just curls up at the back
of the bus. Sometimes he nips between people's
legs but he never causes any trouble."
Casper has travelled an estimated 20,000
miles but Mrs Finden says because he is getting
old the drivers often have to shuffle him off at
the right stop. A spokeswoman for First Bus said
the firm has put a notice up in the office asking
them to look after the non-paying
passenger.
