Cat breeders, owners, and enthusiasts filled the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium this weekend in Southern California for the annual Santa Monica Cat Club Show. Pure breeds and house pets squared off in the octagon to determine... um, no that's not quite what happened.

There were "kittehs." Lots of kittehs; from hairless Sphinx, to scratching Siamese, to large Maine Coons!

I snapped away pictures with a dopey grin on my face. It's been quite a long time since I saw my own cats, and I knew I was overdue for kitteh time. I found myself getting distracted during a recent interview by the subject's house cat who bore a striking resemblance to Bucky Katt from the comic strip Get Fuzzy.

But you DO NOT WANT my personal insights. You want pictures of the kittehs.

And yes, I feel I must share this vital closing thought: This year's show was Tiki themed.

This American Shorthair Curl Kitten fixates on a toy during the competition.
