Ekspo Kucing 2026 at MITEC: What to Expect

September 29, 2026

Ekspo Kucing 2026, also known as the Asia Cat Expo, runs from Friday 9 to Sunday 11 October 2026 at MITEC in Kuala Lumpur. It is the ninth edition of the event, billed by its organiser as Malaysia's largest international cat expo, and it brings cat competitions, adoption drives, talks on everyday cat care and hundreds of cat brands under one roof. Omega Pets will have its own booth there too.

SPayLater is the Official Payment Partner for Ekspo Kucing 2026, and it is worth knowing how it works before you arrive. SPayLater is a buy-now-pay-later feature within the Shopee Pay ecosystem. Once it is activated on your Shopee account, you can use it to split purchases into instalments rather than paying the full amount upfront. There is no need to carry extra cash or worry about hitting your card limit across multiple booths. Set it up on your phone before you leave home so you are ready to use it the moment you walk in.

Here is what to expect, how to plan your visit, and five questions worth asking before you buy anything for your cat.

What happens at Ekspo Kucing

According to the organiser, last year's edition drew 25,971 visitors and 126 exhibitors across roughly 380 booths. The programme is built around four things.

Cat competitions

Cats are judged against breed standards over the three days. Even if you have no plans to show a cat, the judging is a good chance to see breeds up close and to ask owners what a breed is actually like to live with: how much grooming it needs, how it copes with a busy home, how much space it wants.

Adoption drives

Adoption drives are part of the programme. If you are thinking about adopting, think of the expo as a place to meet cats and ask questions rather than a place to decide on the spot. A cat can live for 15 years or more, and a responsible rescue will want to know about your home, your routine and who else lives with you. That is a good sign, not a hurdle.

Talks on cat care, nutrition and health

The organiser lists educational sessions on cat care, nutrition and health. Check the schedule when you arrive. Talks are one of the easiest ways to get practical answers without a sales pitch attached.

Hundreds of brands in one hall

Food, accessories, grooming and lifestyle brands fill most of the floor. The organiser counted more than 396 brands last year. That makes the expo one of the few places where you can compare products side by side and ask the people who make them.

How to plan your visit

Go early, or go on the Friday. Weekends are the busiest days at a large consumer expo. If you want time to talk to exhibitors properly, the first hours of each day and the Friday give you the best chance.
Bring a short list. Before you leave home, write down what your cat actually needs: a shampoo that suits their coat, a better way to deal with litter-box odour, something for a carrier that smells of the vet. With hundreds of brands in one hall, a list is what stops browsing turning into a bag of things you never open.
Photograph labels, not just products. If something catches your eye, take a photo of the label so you can read the ingredients and suitability at home before you commit.
Pay with SPayLater. SPayLater is the Official Payment Partner for Ekspo Kucing 2026, so if you use Shopee Pay you can split your purchases into instalments rather than paying everything upfront. It is worth having the app ready before you walk in, especially if you plan to buy across multiple booths.
Bring your cat along. Many visitors bring their cats, and the event welcomes them. That said, think about it from your cat's side too: some cats settle into a busy hall with ease, while others find crowds and unfamiliar smells overwhelming. You know your cat best.

Five questions to ask before you buy anything for your cat

It is easy to buy on impulse at an expo. These five questions keep it practical.

1. Does the label say it is suitable for cats? A product made for dogs is not automatically suitable for cats. If it is meant for both, the label should say so clearly.

2. Is it suitable for my cat's age? Kittens and older cats often need different products. Check the label, and if it does not say, ask.

3. How do I use it, and how often? Follow the label. If what you hear at a booth is different from what the label says, go with the label.

4. What is actually in it? Ask to see the full ingredient list. A brand that stands behind its product will be glad to show you.

5. Where can I buy it again? An expo deal is only useful if you can get the same product afterwards, online or from a shop near you.

If your cat has a skin condition or any health problem, ask your vet before trying something new. An expo is a good place to discover products, but your vet knows your cat.

Visit the Omega Pets booth at Ekspo Kucing 2026

Omega Pets is a Malaysian pet-care brand based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, founded in 2024. It makes grooming, hygiene, nutrition and home-care products for cats and dogs. Look out for the Omega Pets booth, number 3609, when you visit.

The range includes:

Grooming: Signature Shampoo, Volumizing Shampoo, Flea and Tick Shampoo and Paw Cleansing Foam
Nutrition: Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil
Home care: Cat and Dog Multipurpose Deodorizer, Cage and Crate Cleaner and Stain Removal Floor Cleaner, for litter areas, carriers and floors

Not every product suits every cat, and each product page says which pets it is for. That is exactly the kind of question the team is happy to talk through at the Omega Pets booth: bring the list you wrote at home and ask which products fit your cat's coat, age and routine.

One pet parent put it simply after trying the Volumizing Shampoo: "Tested with my two cats with no issues. It smells good, makes their fur soft and works well for both coat types."

If you cannot make it to MITEC, the full range is available at omegapets.com.my and through Omega Pets stockists across Malaysia.
