Gnarp’s athletes compete in a range of events, all of them informal and most of them at night. New members are always welcome, and so are spectators, who may sleep.

Fitness notes
- Short play sessions of 10 to 15 minutes are popular with most students. Finish with a treat or a toy that can be caught.
- Older cats may find jumping harder. Ramps and steps help.
- If a student is limping, or stops jumping or playing, please contact a vet.
