Sara, so glad you enjoyed yourself at the show!! I really enjoyed my "first cat show" that I attended in Jan and plan on going to another in April. I really was amazed at how patient most of those cats were, and it definitely was neat seeing what some breeds looked like "in person". Edwina sounds like she has a little bit of my husband's cat Scooter's "colorful" language! LOL LOL
Edwina, darlin' no need to fret your pretty little head about the show-biz life. After all, being poked at and stared at all day long would just be so annoying after awhile!! Marius sends his love, and he says you're the "model" cat of his dreams

That is neat that you were able to talk with someone from the South Suburban group. It sounds like they have a good process about adopting animals out, so that's a positive thing. I'm sure they've never had a situation quite like the one with Maddie. So many people were thinking of that dog!! It would be neat if the owners could see all the posts about her and everyone wanting to pitch in and help in her rescue. It's quite an inspiring tale.
**hugs**
Karen
