Fort Myers Naples, FL, September 23, 2026 — The Cox Science Center & Aquarium has announced plans to host a new exhibition titled “Cats & Dogs.” The exhibition is scheduled to run for an extended period, commencing on October 10, 2026, and concluding on April 16, 2027.
This upcoming exhibit aims to provide visitors with an in-depth look into the lives of two of the most common domestic animals. The core focus of “Cats & Dogs” will be on exploring how felines and canines perceive the world around them, with a particular emphasis on their sensory experiences. This will include examining how they utilize their senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch to navigate and interact with their environments.
Furthermore, the exhibition is designed to illuminate the complex communication methods employed by cats and dogs. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the various vocalizations, body language, and other signals these animals use to convey messages to each other and to humans. Understanding these nuances can offer greater insight into animal behavior and interspecies relationships.
Another significant aspect of the “Cats & Dogs” exhibition will be its exploration of breed diversity. The exhibit is expected to highlight the wide range of breeds that exist within both the feline and canine species, showcasing their unique physical characteristics, temperaments, and historical roles. This segment will likely illustrate how selective breeding has resulted in the vast array of dogs and cats seen today.
The specific details regarding interactive elements or featured species within the exhibition were not provided in the announcement. The duration of the exhibition spans over six months, offering a substantial window for the public to engage with the presented material. The Cox Science Center & Aquarium has not yet released further information on ticketing or special programming related to the “Cats & Dogs” exhibit.
