Dale and Vicki Broeckel joined Mike and Michelle Carver in attending the international cat show, “On Safari,” in Spokane Saturday. As many as 225 cats from the United States and around the world came from as far as Europe, Australia and South America. The show featured all breeds of cats, but highlighted the Bengals, known for their stunning coat which mimics that of leopards.
