You probably have one overweight pampered moggy at home and assume that the world is a nice place full of nice people where nice things happen every day. And YOU assume that cat shows in the States are the same as in the UK. Oops, I assumed that as I amreading a UK newsgroup I would be reading about UK cat shows. I didn't realise you had crossposted this to other newsgroups. |

Thanks for you highly knowledgable and insightful comments, I learned a lot there. I learned a lot too. LIke the fact that you took steps to hide your identity in the headers. Normally only a troll would do that. |

That was indeed the old way of training (koehler). Sad, eh? That was why police dogs couldn't be brought into public without muzzles on. Of course, most places have stopped such barbarism these days. But you wouldn't be in touch with the last 15 years or so, I guess. Still watching 20 year old American programs over on that side of the pond? I have never seen a muzzled police dog. Are we talking about UK now or USA? The dog I mentioned was not 15 years ago at all. It was only a matter of some 3 or 4 years ago. I personally don't watch American trash thanks.I prefer to go onluine or read a book for my relaxation after I have finished my chores. |

Kristine Kochanski dumped this in
on 27 Apr 2004: Oh absolutely. Like I said in the original post, I don't doubt the cats are hideously pampered and the owners loved showing them off and chatting about it, I just think it's quite a barbaric practice to still be doing in this so-called civilised world. Do you have any opinion on dog shows? Just curious. -- Cheryl |

The only thing that's altered is my email address. I've posted under my real name for the duration of the time I've been on usenet (about 6 years) but had to change recently after someone took a shine to something I'd posted and began badgering me for dates, including tracking down my phone number and calling me at all times of the day and night. I don't want that kind of attention so now I'm anonymous, I'm certainly no troll, I assumed *you* were the troll given your inflammatory and childish approach to replying to posts. |

Do you have any opinion on dog shows? Just curious. Dogs aren't territorial like cats, nor are they trapped inside cages. That's the barbaric aspect I object to. I still think it's pretty pointless to judge a dog on appearance (expecially when you see those poor little fluffy things with ribbons in their hair, ugh, or poodles shaved into bizarre shapes, what IS that all about?!). But, if the dog is happy enough to go along with walking around showing off to its owner for a treat then there's not much to complain about. I can't see a cat getting anything out of being shown. The ones I saw didn't look too pleased about it anyway. |
