the foreigners will be serving little tasty chunks of "the other white
meat" on a stick

Everybody loves and helps shelter cats, you can't let this
overpopulation problem prevent you from having some fun

I see nothing wrong with a cat show, you know, maintain the different
unique breeds (this is good) It's a celebration of LIFE

society has an obligation to be responsible with their actions
society has an obligation to itself to educate itself with the
overpopulation problem

can't miss me!

You said you didn't need a puppy. How good are you at looking shelter
kitties and not being tempted?  :)

I go to cat shows as a vendor. In February of 2005, I went to another
show. I found an awesome cat tree being raffled off. The kind where you
buy half a playing card to match up. It had shelves at nice heights and
space well so that my elderly boy would be able to use it. I bought 3
tickets.

I made the "mistake" of wandering by the shelter exhibits. They had two
shelter groups there. That's where I found "Mister". He was sitting in
his kitty litter box, so I really saw was a sweet fluffy bluepoint with
a huge thick head and gorgeous eyes. I knew we couldn't get another
cat, so I tried to put him out of my mind.

The next day, my mom mentioned that she had brought up the cat to my
dad. I rent the basement, and I already had 2 cats, and a dog. My
nephew has a cat, and my mom had a dog. Not the most we've ever had,
but then my dad really isn't an animal person, so anything is more than
he would like. (honestly, I don't know how he puts up with us, except
the animals have worked hard to win him over).

Once I realized I had a shot, there was no stopping. I spent most of my
time staring at the gorgeous cat (not realizing he was hypnotizing me)
than attending my vendor booth. When I wasn't staring at him, my mom
was.

By afternoon, I had gotten the approval (later he admitted he didn't
think he had an option). And I waited by my cat to pay his adoption fee
(nobody was getting MY cat).

After that, I won the cat tree! That was exciting. I've never wanted a
raffle price so badly as that one.

When we packed the van at the end of the day, it was a tight fit. The
cat tree is only about 4 feet tall, but wide with 3 large circle
platforms well spaced out. I had to fold down the seats and lay it
across them. After getting all the vendor stuff back in, the only space
for the cat was in between the two front seats, with the carrier
resting on the arm rests. Thankfully, the shelter lady let us borrow
the carrier since he was large. She has the cardboard ones to give
away, but that was too small for him. I was going to beg my dad to
drive 45 minutes each way to bring my carrier. I was able to give it
back to her at a later show.

My elderly boy only got to enjoy the cat tree for a few months, which
he did.  Mister Jay Jay loved it too, and after Maynard died, he took
it over. The others use it occasionally, but he sacks out on it.

I still go to cat shows, and my mom took a liking to another cat from
the same shelter. It took her 3 shows, but we brought her home last
August from a show in Portland. That time, I had my vendor canopy, and
there were 3 of us with overnight stuff. It was a really tight fit
getting a jumbo carrier in the car.

We became friends with the shelter lady after getting Jay Jay, so we
keep in touch and see each other shows. She re-started a business of
selling of cat things, so I have bought some stuff from her, and it's
been fun to have her booth next to ours. My mom volunteered at one of
their events, and I donated some stuff to their craft booth last
winter.

Oh, and I took Jay Jay to a show last February. For teh household pet
class. He took 2nd place in the longhair specialty for the first judge.
After that, we mistakenly let the shelter lady come see him. We didn't
realize until later that he put that together with the show and decided
he was up for adoption again. After that, he hiseed at every judge, and
basically told everybody that he was not a good cat to adopt. He hated
the show, but bless his heart, he was fighting to keep the home he has.
I hope he realized that I was never going to give him up.

I do hope to take him to shows again, though I would like to take him
and not have him judged once so that he just gets used to the sights
and smells and the great ride home. He was absolutely perfect in his
regular cage, and lots of people were very impressed with him. Several
spectators were surprised to learn that an unregistered cat may be
shown. There's a special class for them that is quite fun. And I really
liked being to able to show people what they could get at a shelter.
Not bad for $75 - vaccinated, microchipped, spaey/neutered, and an
AWESOME cat. Such a great deal. And these cats are waiting for homes. I
was really proud to include the shelter name on my display, and I have
a photo of Jay Jay on the back of my photography brochure with  the
name of the shelter.
