Competitors came from far and wide, with cats from as far afield as Rugby and Spalding turning out to take part.

Show manager Linda Hutchinson said about £1,000 was raised on the day for Cats Protection, with four cats finding new homes.

She said: “The money will go towards our neutering campaign, where cat owners on low incomes can have their pet neutered for £5.

“We were pleased to find homes for four cats but we still have 20 middle-aged cats who are in desperate need of new homes.”

Winner of the non-pedigree best in show was long-haired tortoise shell Gucci, owned by Ms J Woolston, from Ely. The pedigree best in show went to Polar, another long-haired, owned by Michelle Whiting, from Spalding.

Winner of the best kitten in show went to Kitwit, owned by Ms J Green, of Wicken.
