GSN Announces the April 1 Air Date for 'CAT-MINSTER: CFA INTERNATIONAL CAT CHAMPIONSHIP,' the Biggest Cat Show in the World

Airdate Changes From Previous Listing of March 27 to Sunday, April 1

SANTA MONICA, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- GSN announces a new air date for CAT-MINSTER: CFA INTERNATIONAL CAT CHAMPIONSHIP, a two-hour special, now airing on Sunday, April 1 (7:00- 9:00 PM, ET). (Formerly scheduled for Tuesday, March 27, 8-10:00 PM, ET.) Also, the special will be re-broadcast on Saturday, April 7 (Noon to 2 PM, ET).

Hosted by Bob Goen (THAT'S THE QUESTION, "Entertainment Tonight") and Marianne Curan ("Landscapers' Challenge"), CAT-MINSTER covers the 19th Annual CFA International Cat Show, one of the industry's most prestigious events, which featured 55 different breeds and over 700 cats from the U.S., Asia, Canada, Europe and South America competing in the largest international pedigreed cat show in the Western Hemisphere.

The first hour of the special offers viewers a rare glimpse inside the world of competitive cat shows, following five breeders training "prized" kittens and the preparation required to actually "show" a championship cat at the world's most prestigious competition.

The second hour of the competition features the championship itself, including the spectacular feline agility course, culminating with the awarding of top honor "Best in Show." Intricacies of the judging will be highlighted, with Goen and Curan providing commentary throughout the multiple rounds of the competition.

"Flip" (CFA's 2006 International Show Champion) is a Blue Persian spay co-owned by Susan Cook Henry of Warrenton, Virginia, and who comes from a family that has bred and shown "Jadon" Persians since the early 1960's. Cook Henry has bred more than 50 CFA Grand Champions and Grand Premiers. Flip had great success in the show ring as a kitten, earning "Kitten of the Year" honors in 2002. Flip's mother and grandfather also won the top Kitten award, making this family the only known successive generation winners of this title.
