Now in its 75th year, the show is organised by the Lancashire Cat Club. It features pedigree cats of all breeds and many household pet cats - as well as stalls from both trade and cat clubs.
Jan Wood, who helped with the running of this year's show, said: “There were 245 cats in total, with most pedigree breeds represented, as well as various household pets.

"Several hundred members of the public attended the show and a good day was had by all, with many exhibitors expressing their thanks to the club."
A pet cat called Thomas, owned by Ms Zolts and Mr Ledger, won best in show in the Household Pet classes.
The show has been held annually at Robin Park Sports Centre since 2000, with the only missing year being 2021 because of Covid.
