well as some of u will know i visited our local cat show on sunday, which brought me to write this thread, i am yet again curious as to what members think of cat shows.
I enjoyed seeing all the different breeds, but one of my concerns were the few cats that appeared to be very stressed out. most of them were content to sleep, probably old hats at doing this, but there were at least 5 cats that were very unhappy, one was scratching like mad trying to get out , the owner informed me it was her first cat show, another had vomited, and another had done its pooh pooh on the towel and not in the litter box,the smell was so bad, i believe it must have had an upset tummy.
So my question here is are they a good idea?
Is it worth putting your cat through this?
I mean the cat does not know its one ribbons, is it for the owners benefit only?
I could enter my own in the moggie section but i refuse to as i know the kinda cats they are, and it would stress them out terribly, some of these cats it does not bother in the least, they are obviously used to it.
My daughter always ask if she take our cats to the school to show her class, many kids to this, all supervised etc, but i tell her no, its not fair to the cat, she keeps asking and i keep saying NO.
Well folks gotta go lexie wants dinner lol.
I would be interested in your comments and opinions.
