Purr-fect cats on show

Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle will launch a new semi-submersible vessel in spring this year, giving passengers a unique look under the ocean in the Tonga Island marine reserve.

Cat lovers will be purring with excitement ahead of this weekend’s National Cat Show. The New Zealand Cat Fancy National Cat Show, which doubles as the Nelson Cat Show’s 40th anniversary, will be held at Saxton Stadium from 9am on Sunday.

It will feature around 150 of the top pedigree cats from around the country. The event had originally been planned to be held at the Trafalgar Centre, but its closure forced a shift to Saxton Stadium. Entry to the cat show is $8 for an adult, $6 for a senior and $4 for a child.
