But nooooo you want to drag
her on an airplane, put her in a strange place (hotel), then put her on public display in another strange environment so you can promote your station. That's just sad, and it's mean. and stoopid. www.mimiforsyth.com |

You seem to disapprove of them as do some others. I think you just jumped
into the conversation to attack me whatever the reason. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com wrote in message ... CP wrote: Nobody has said a single word about disapproving of cat shows. Isis does care about the station because she helped create it. No, she didn't. You may have had the idea with her in mind, but she didn't do anything. She does the shows because people can become more educated about cats and her story has a great chance of being told like a lot of cats that were adopted from shelters. No, you force her to be at shows because you want praise and pats on the back. She doesn't want to be there and her behavior at previous shows makes that obvious. Her going to the shows can help promote cats being adopted which is one of the other reasons. Every cat show I've been to has a booth that promotes adopting shelter cats, so forcing Isis to be there and stressing her out to do a "job" that's already being done is just mean and is not fair to her. I have to wonder if those on here who object to cat shows are willing to go to one and tell those that exhibit there that it is bad for the cat? Sherry already pointed out that show cats are brought to shows from kittenhood, are used to that type of environment, and are quite comfortable in it. Isis is not, and was not raised that way. What you seem to be ignoring is that to Isis, a cage means the same as it did when she was in one at the shelter, and every time you put her in one she probably thinks she's going to be dumped again and be in a shelter again. Especially when she is in a large area with a bunch of other cats, which is no different than what it was like in the shelter. She doesn't know the difference and putting her under this kind of stress on purpose is cruel. This is no different than forcing someone that was attacked by a dog to sit in a room full of dogs. It's stressful, scary and it's unfair. For you to do this to Isis when, from your own description, she is extremely stressed, you have to calm her down, and she is hissing all the time, how can you possibly think this is a kind thing to do to her?

Isis not only promotes the station but she also competes in the HHP
category. She's a beautiful cat so I'm proud to show her. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Mimi Forsyth" wrote in message ...

I think you just jumped into the conversation to attack me whatever the reason. The reason is very clear, and I made it so. You are being mean to Isis, a cat you claim to love. You don't care about her at all and are using her to promote YOU despite the fact that it upsets her. I doesn't get more simple than that.

You're pulling up a post from over 2 years ago. Obviously you have too much
time on your hands. That was her first appearence on a show so she of course would be nervous. She also didn't travel much then. The last show she was on, she came out of the carrier in the studio, walked around and had no problems. Cats can adapt pretty well to new changes. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com wrote in message ... Now you're flat out lying. Isis had an accident in the carrier because she was scared, and you said that she was stressed and shed all over you. You also said Isis would stay on your lap because a "nervous and scared" cat would stay with its owner. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=is...cox.net&rnum=5 And don't tell me this isn't all about "you." You even said that you are now a local celebrity and worthy of all the attention. If that's not egotistical and self-serving I don't know what is. Poor, poor Isis. It's a shame she has such a selfish jerk for an owner.

Her going to the shows can help promote cats being adopted which is one of the other reasons. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com This is silly. I absolutely adore my cats and probably bore people by talking about them so often, but I would never try to say that *they* decided on a career move for me. For that matter, our local paper ran a wonderful story on Duffy that was used to encourage other people to adopt special needs pets. However, *the reporter and I* decided to do the feature -- I would never try to say that *Duffy decided* to do it in an attempt to help other cats (even though that was *our* intention). As Sherry said, these are cats, after all. They are not little four-footed humans. I love them for what the are; it is not necessary to try to morph them with human characteristics. MaryL |
