so why do you think they don't televise cat shows as well as dog shows? Isn't there an obvious viewer market they are missing?

I'm writing Animal Planet, damnit! People don't get to see purebred cats that often, really--you don't take them for walks, and you keep them inside. What a boon for cat fanciers televised cat shows would be!

I'm not the only person who thinks so: http://wgnradio.com/index.php?option...784&Itemid=394

Honestly I think it's for the reasons I mentioned before - cats aren't as televisual. After all at least at Crufts (big UK dog show) the dogs are paraded round the ring, and you have agility classes and working dog demonstrations etc. With cats they come out of their box, are felt up by the judges and go back.

But I agree about trying to fly the pedigree flag. That's my excuse for showing as many people as possible my cat pics & videos anyway ;) And I'm def bringing Dylan back into work at some point - he only met Mark (who was bemused).

He is already a celebrity in the neighbourhood, from when I used to walk him before they were allowed out alone, from the fact he jumps on neighbours shoulders when HM is tlking to them, from when he escaped and was taken to the rescue centre - who called him Posh, drooled over him and were so sorry to see him leave. Also the guys who do the metal work in the yard here recognise at least one of them, and it's probably Dylan. Apparently he is quite skittish when out alone, but they describe him as the funny looking Siamesey cat. I am educating them.

Shawnee do try & find a pic. My parents had a cross breed. Yeah right. A purebred Siamese was got at by a dirty East London black & white tom ;) Spock was big, with a classical nose, black and white, noisy and affectionate. He is missed.

LOL @ Bruce. now that's a cat show! :D

I love that, bruce! where did you find that?

On one of the sites that just have pictures, with no explanation or source.

I am adopting the first one..."Danika".

Just have to organise to pick him up...from Sydney or get him freighted to Albury or Melbourne.

Those bengals are gorgeous, Ducks! We need pictures when you get Danika, of course.

I have a simple fluffy gray tabby named "Cleo." And she is queen around here. I have had her for 8 years, now.

We are off road tripping to Sydney on Friday....the long route of course.

Will take lots of pics of the trip and 'nik

Saucy!

Bruce you are doing sterling work in the Cat TV cause, thank you
I'm almost convinced you will accept my cats when I come to live with you...
