>Cats of The World: Feline lovers rejoice, Cats of The World is back for its eighth annual exhibition. A community project with the aim of spreading the love of cats, this year's event will not only include its usual photo exhibition, but a feline-themed bazaar as well. It features photos, by aspiring and professional photographers, of several feline friends in their natural element, in unique settings from all over the world, including Japan and Singapore. An art element has also been introduced: Local artists, such as David Chan, Namiko Takahashi and SlothStudio, have been invited to come up with feline inspired artworks, each to be sold for $100, a fundraising effort for the Cat Welfare Society. The feline themed bazaar, Purrzaar Market, offers a range of mostly cat-themed lifestyle merchandise.
