Tunnels, hurdles, ramps and ropes, feline agility is an up-and-coming sport for many cat lovers to teach furry friends. (Refresh your memory on this activity here.) I'm not certain I've ever met a cat that's completed a course, but I'd love to hear from you! Would your kitties walk right up or walk the other way?

I know many pups love doing agility and obstacle runs, but who knew kitties could do them, too? The big CFA-Iams Cat Championship held over the weekend at Madison Square Garden featured this event in addition to an adoption area and breed showcase and judging. What exactly comprises a cat course?

If you share your home with a kitty, I wanna know more about your cat. The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) has 39 pedigreed breeds that it recognizes (and allows to compete in shows) and I'm curious how many of you own a purebred feline. I know some of you have exotic pets like this Tonkinese belonging to DearSugar's mom, while others have cats with lineage that's a bit harder to trace.
