EDISON, N.J. - s4story -- The 83rd Annual Garden State Cat Club Expo promises to be the BEST Expo to date.

Located at the NJ Convention and Expedition Center, 97 Sunfield Ave, Edison, on July 20-21, this year's show offers fun for all ages.

This year's breed cat show is themed "Cats in Wonderland" which adds a playful and whimsical  element to the 300-400 breed cats who strut their stuff in front of nine internationally renowned judges.

Considered one of the primo cat shows in the Cat Fancy Association, the Garden State Cat Show has attracted entries from around the country and as far away as Japan.

Not only will the competitors try to win "Best Cat" with their felines, they hope to win "Best themed hat" or "Best Cage decoration". Kathy Pritchard of Spotsylvania, Va. will be tough competition with her Cornish Rex cats dressed in one of 200 outrageous designer gowns and accessories.
