The Hong Kong Cat Expo 2026 is coming to the Convention and Exhibition Centre at the end of this month. It’s themed “The Wild West Cowcat” and SAI KUNG BUZZ went to Rum Tum Tugger, Mr Mistofolees, Rumpleteazer and Trumpy for comment. Taking the latter first.
Buzz: “Mr Trump, what do you think of the Cat Expo?”
Trump: “It’s got to be called the Trump Cat Expo . . . that’s a big beautiful name . . . otherwise I’ll bomb the Convention Centre . . . big beautiful bombs . . . Get me Hegseth*.”

Buzz: “Rum Tum Tugger, will you make a guest appearance at the Cat Expo?”
RTT: “Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat . . . and will do as he do, do . . . and there’s no doing anything about it.”
Buzz: “We’ll take that as a yes.”
Buzz: “Mr Mistofolees, what do you think?”
Mr M: “I’m the original conjuring cat. Of course I’ll be there. Oh, well, I never, was there ever a cat so clever as Magical Mr Mistofolees.”

Buzz: “Rumpleteazer, what have you got to say for yourself?”
RT: “Wasn’t me, Your Honour!” Rumpleteazer and his pal Mungojerrie are notorious cat-burglars. “We’ve never been anywhere near the Convention Centre. All that smash and grab stuff, wasn’t us.” Rumpleteazer crosses himself, bats his eyelashes and comes over all innocent, like.
Buzz remembers: “What about Macavity?”
RT: Macavity wasn’t there.

The Hong Kong Cat Expo runs 31 July to 2 August. Tickets $30. If you’ve got the energy you will be able to see 400 booths with cat food, toys, scratchers (cats love scratchers) beautiful bedding for the worst days of winter and art by nine artists including “Mandycat”. There will be seminars on cat health and proper care. Expect big presence by the SPCA and if you are a member of that marvellous institution you’ll get discounts.
*Hegseth, sorry to say, is not a fluffy cat. He’s Donald Dump’s dark menacing Secretary for War.
