Jo Gray recently travelled from Petersfield to Leatherhead to attend the Felinology Cat Show, where she met Norwegian Forest Cat Forestfriend Annie and her owner, John Farnaby.

Annie, a retired champion show cat, was attending as a cat ambassador — a role she clearly relishes — giving visitors the chance to learn more about her majestic breed.

In this slice of feline heaven, Jo also meets more passionate owners and their prized cats, as well as a dedicated rescuer committed to helping cats with nowhere else to go.

There were cats big and small — from gloriously fluffy furballs to striking hairless beauties — a true celebration of feline diversity.
