I stumbled across a cat show in a little town i was visiting one weekend.. it was amazing.. But i couldn't help but feel sorry for them..
The Scottish fold, Maine Coon and the Assyrian cat (beautiful rusty red and brown colors, sleek shape) are my favorites!!! I will never forget it!!

I LOVE Scottish Folds. And this cat show sounds insane. I totally want to go to one. Though I'm a dog person at heart.

I show Maine Coon cats. The cat bibs are mainly for the persians, so that they can eat with out messing up their fur before they go into the judging rings. :)

ok, I must admit, I too worked a cat show once upon a time. Cleaning out the show cages, it was awesome! and i'm not being sarcastic.

And as a 31 year old adult, i own a stroller for my cats almost identical to the one shown. hahahah, blush, blush. BUT, i prefer to think of it as a carrier with wheels (and cup holders). My eldest cat (who is almost 17)loves it the most of my three and can't get enough of it.
My husband and I find almost everyone we pass thinks its fun except for parents with young babies who shoot us dirty looks for mocking their club.

I've been to a cat show and a rabbit show... I'm going to be the crazy woman all alone at the end of her long life. But you know what? I think I'm ok with that.

D + J - I didn't even try to touch any of the cats! I was too intimidated ;)

My Boyfriend once took me to a catshow as a surprise! I was awed by (a) how cute that was and (b) really? a cat show??? Heh heh.... I fell in love with the Maine Coon Cat which is gigantic!!!!!

Were the ppl really anal about you touching the cats??

I need to find a cat show ASAP. Freakin' Montana is crazy enough to house the unibomber and the freemen, but no cat shows. We're failing.

2009-10-18T21:00:13.449-05:00

I really want to see one of those cat-bibs in person. I mean, I know you took pictures, but I can't believe they're real.

P.S. My verification word is "tatocat." Coincidence? I think not.

2009-10-17T22:43:08.253-05:00

haha too funny! I have never been to a dog or cat show, but I can imagine watching the owners and officials and such is the best part. It seems like pretty serious business.

Turkleton and I went to that very same cat show about six years ago, and bought matching braided-rug-style cat beds for our cats Pinko and Gordon. I loved the people watching so much I was tempted to call it "the people show".

sar, in milwaukee i've met the best cat. she is tiny and black with short fur. she is 4, named morticia and acts like a kitten. she will push her face into your hand for petting and slept in a tiny pile on my chest for most of the night. i might steal her. putin and bilbo would lub,lub,lub her!

This post requires me to tell a story.
I was 8 and I wanted a rabbit. As with anything in my life, I became obsessed (my mother didn't help).
I started showing rabbits.
You laugh. I know. But, I love animals. Love love love animals. Rabbits were small enough that it was easy to actually start showing them. Then it consumed my life.
You might not think that a child could do well in anything that requires responsibility, but I was dedicated. I would have the best rabbits and I would know the most about rabbits. It was my goal!
I started studying genetics in fourth grade and I absorbed ever article and scientific journal available.
By age 11, I was the Washington State rabbit Princess and went on to nationals to do very well.
After reaching the summit in two years, I slowly started selling my rabbits. $200.00 a pop was a lot for a kid.
I stepped away from the animal showing arena, but I would love to start again with my poodle.
Don't laugh.
You have no idea how competitive those showing rings are! It is like there is a fever!
Stay away or they will get you!

2009-10-16T13:06:54.744-05:00

Loool, I love the expression on that cat with a bib's face. And a cat show does look like it would be so much fun.

hehe! That actually looks like a ton of fun!

2009-10-16T11:38:49.212-05:00

I am so jealous I don't think I convey it over the interwebz! Cat shows always look amazingly weird and wonderful.
Next door has a big fat ginger scottish fold who is just so adorable. I'll see if I can airmail him to you? ;)

cat bib, yes. once melissa made 'crinn' neckerchiefs for izzy and for our cats. with little rock and roll band patches on them. our cats weren't as mad about wearing them as you'd imagine.

2009-10-16T10:00:31.470-05:00

My grandmother used to show Siamese cats. I spent a lot of time as a kid at the shows and they are pretty unique events.

My sister and I used to clean out the showring pens between each judging. We thought we were making major dough - $10 a day to clean up cat pee.

Didn't take much!

2009-10-16T09:20:21.419-05:00

Oh gosh, this was hilarious! And as a cat lover myself I would definitely go, for both the love of felines and the hilarity of the situation!

2009-10-16T09:17:39.336-05:00

O no that last kitty looks so mad! You however look fabulous. And the Scottish fold kitty looks like a walrus (lolrus?).

Evie thank you so much for mentioning Maru! He's so cute with his fat little face. And so strange.

2009-10-16T09:09:11.861-05:00

ermm.... I am probably the most cat allergic person alive today. I`d get sick, sneeze for hours after and ultimately stop breathing completely just by being in the same house as a cat. Lame, I know! I love dogs though... forgive me?
