Do you have a special pet or more in your life? I grew up with cats and now I have had dogs. (Just one dog now. A fat dog. Coff dog that eats Nicky’s leftovers). Whether you’re a cat or a dog person you can celebrate both at the World of Cats and Dogs, 14-16 July. SA Mom blogs is giving away four family sets of tickets, valued at R 400 per set.

Hi there,
I attend this expo every year as it always falls around my birthday.
I am a lover of all animals and would love to attend this year again as it is my last year being a cat mother only 😉
One Messy Mama (Jacqui) says
We recently moved back from the USA to JHB. I have 5 children aged 7, 6, 4, 2, and 8 weeks. They have been superstars in the transition and WOCAD would be a wonderful way to experience our new city. Plus my 7 yo is absolutely obsessed with dogs. It would also be a great review for my blog 😁
