I went to a local "cat show" and this will tell you how well my brain synapses are firing after just getting over a cold: I was taken a back for a moment when I walked in and saw rows of cages. I guess I thought they would all be hanging out on recliners like at my house. We have an awesome recliner that has heat, massage, and was actually made in America, and it looks comfortable. I can't actually verify that because I am nervous about sitting in it. I don't know what will happen if I do. The overlords might punish me.
There were three rings, but they weren't actually rings. There was a stand for showing the cats. Two of the rings had imperious Judges who glared at me. I thought it would be like the dog shows on TV where people cheer for a favorite, so I jabbed the person next to me and pointed and said,"I am going for that one." The people around me were already annoyed with me because even though I had a camera, I admitted that I was not "from the media" when asked.
I found a friendly ring with a chatty Judge who told me she broke cameras.
When they "show" the cats they do a weird thing to their heads, they grab gently and squish and twist. This had the unfortunate effect of making me think of " Cat Head Theater."
They stretch them out like a row of sausage links...
Then they amuse them with toy offerings...
Some were slightly less amused...
A few random cats who just caught my fancy...
I don't know what the "winner" cats got, they all seemed pretty underwhelmed by their triumph.
The show ended a little early so everybody could zip home to watch the Tigers play.
Thanks for looking, and if you took any pictures recently, I would love to see them.
