Thread: First cat show

Plus it was a baking hot day and all of them seemed to be breathing way to fast for my liking. Cats were stunning though, which made it worth the trip!

Have to say that we had this exact discussion today about this valid point. For me personally I don't think I would show Harry for the reasons you say. When we were at the show yesterday an announcement came over the loud speaker to ask the owner of a cat to return to his cage as he was in distress. I can't imagine it's something the cat would enjoy, it's the owners that get the pleasure from it. That isn't to say of course that it isn't lovely to see all the cats, after all where else would you get to see them. This also isn't a dig at anyone that does show their cats, I'm saying it's just not what I want for Harry who is for me purely a pet.
