| "FELINE CLUB OF INDIA(FCI)" hosting its "CAT EXPO INDIA" International cat show at the CIDCO exhibition and Convention centre at Vashi in New Mumbai. |
Sunday (17/5/2026) Feline Club of India : - The Feline Club of India hosted the massive Cat Expo India at the CIDCO Exhibition & Convention centre.My inspirational baby of starting a cat Show / Club with like minded cat parents way back in 2012 became " Indian Cat Federation" club that after a few years sadly closed shop with President Mr Shree Nair managing his pet shows in U.A.E. Now the establishment of " FCI " with Mr Saquib Pathan as its founder and President has left me dazed seeing the grand scale of presentation of this cat show,unbelievable in India let alone Mumbai where " Dog Shows" are popular.The scale and magnitude of various cat products on display at various stalls as well as the large variety of different breeds of cats participating seemed a fantasy turning into reality.Remember the First cat show in India was held in Bangalore in 2013 and in just over a decade the " Feline Club of India" has put cat shows in India on par with First World Country's .The pet Industry is a multi crore rupees business and today's cat show proved the statistics.
Happy to see my idea germinate into reality during my lifetime.There were a total of 7 Rings with 7 different judges for judging various breeds of cats. 5 of the judges were flown into India from Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.F.C.I President Mr Saquib Pathan recognized me through my group " Mumbai Cat Club " on FB and along with Veterinarian Mr Dhananjay Pandit he took a selfie and wishing " Feline Club of India " all the best for future cat shows.They are here to stay and definitely the brand name for cat shows in India.I am no press reporter just a cat aficionado so excuse me if I have omitted some aspects.
