It's been two months since the crazy cat fashion show, so it's about time we met some new furry faces. This Saturday and Sunday, the 2nd annual Meet the Breeds event will be held at the Javits Center, bringing together 160 breeds of dog and 41 breeds of cat! Yesterday we got a sneak peek at what to expect... and there's some good news: if you want to see a cat fashion show with your own eyes, there will be one this Saturday during the event!
What else you'll see: dogs and cats racing against the clock through an obstacle course in the fast-paced sport of Agility; the Mastiff dog featured in an elaborately decorated Medieval castle; the Russian Blue cat set in a Russian Imperial palace depicting their heritage; unusual dog combos; and of course, a dog that looks like Snooki.
