The traditional CFA IAMS Cat Championship at New York's Madison Square Garden transformed last year into a cat AND dog show - the "Meet the Breeds" extravaganza located at the Javits Center in 2009 in New York City.

In a new partnership primarily hosted by the world's largest registry of pedigreed cats, the Cat Fanciers’ Association will put out the red carpet for the world's top cats. Meanwhile, they are joined in 2009 by top dogs from the American Kennel Club in a two-day event of fun and festivities for pet lovers of all stripes.

160 breeds of dogs and 41 breeds of cats will vie for attention at the two-day event on October 17 and 18, during which visitors can meet with dozens of retailers, and participate in ongoing demonstrations.

In addition, visitors can learn more about their chosen pet at educational presentations such as grooming, obedience, dog/cat breed showcases, plus booths where the public can come talk to trainers, groomers, vets and other pet experts.

Part of this year's celebration is the question "Are your a dog person or a cat person?" including online voting to help determine who's who among an ardent population of animal lovers everywhere.
