I am also back from getting a new ISP, and that was a headache.
But the Cat Show at Madison Square Garden was great. I was there Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and the final results were out Sunday.
I told you about the AKC Dog Show in February which was bigger for obvious reasons - the dogs are themselves much bigger and need to perform in rings; that is part of the judging process. Cat performance and obedience is optional in an Agility Ring, which is much fun. But as for judging all cats are expected to be tame and cooperative, and they are.
So, the main arena of MSG was not used for the cats, and grooming was also simpler, again owing to size.
The Cat Fanciers Association, www.cfa.org, lists 41 separate registered breeds, and has much information on the events and on cats.
I am now rather expert on cat breeds and types. Of the 41 breeds only two love water - Egyptian Maus and Turkish Van. The Occicat looks just like a little tame ocelot, and the Sphinx is hairless.
THE WINNER!!
Above is the link to the winner's story. The Japanese Bobtail I saw win a preliminary round Saturday.
BTW, I came away with a lot of free cat food from Iams!
I will try to post some photos later as time permits.
