What are cats doing at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show? They’re strutting their stuff and showing off their feline power at an event known best for its top dogs.

The Westminster Kennel Club recently recognized the Bengal cat as one of 2017’s newest breeds. In turn, cats made a special appearance at the multi-day event for the first time in a few years during “Meet and Compete” at Piers 92/94 on Feb. 11, a partnership between AKC Meet the Breeds and the Masters Agility Championship.
