Who doesn't love cat fairs? Cats, that's who.
To judge by the pictures we've seen of last weekend's International Feline Fair in Medellin, Colombia, the competitors could each think of 5,497 ways (approx.) they'd rather be spending their Sunday.
We don't blame the judges, we don't blame the owners, what we really blame is: cats. If they gave rosettes for grumpiness, these nine sour pusses would clean up.
