Isis does care about the station because she helped create it.
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. Her going to the shows can help promote cats being
adopted which is one of the other reasons.

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.

Isis did decide. It's human ignorance that says that a cat can't possibly
decide their path in life.

And how did you converse with her? Just how did she communicate her
*desire* to help the radio station? You must have access to some language
that the rest of us have missed.

I opened up my mind and listened. Humans have the gift but many choose not
to use it. I have always had a special bond with Isis. As for the radio
station, the story was a simple one. I was resting comfortably on the couch
one day. Isis meowed. She didn't want food, she didn't want water and she
didn't want to play. I saw a CD sitting on the table and simply knew what
she wanted so I put it in the stereo and played it. She laid down and
relaxed and thus began Cat Galaxy.

Yet when Isis hissed, swiped, shed all over the place and pooped in her
carrier, she was desperately trying to tell you something and you won't listen.

CP, cat show cats are completely obvlivious to the hustle and bustle. They
don't even shed because of nervousness. They're completely accustomed to it.
Isis is not.
You're going to drag her on an airplane, and you have no idea how a pressurized
cabin or altititude is going to affect her. You're taking her through a busy
airport, to strange hotel rooms, and separating her from her security, which is
her home and the other cats she knows.
And for WHAT? How is this going to benefit Isis? It's not.
I also find it completely ironic that you claim you can't afford vet care, or
better quality food for your cats. But you can pay for airfare, hotel room, cat
show entry fees (which aren't cheap).
It's all about Noehl Rosen. It's never been about the cats.

Anthropomorphizing animals has done more harm to them than nearly
anything else ever could. (Whether it's killing a species because it's
"evil" or mistreating them like little human beings.)
