@REMOVETHISbitches.co.uk enlightened us with... 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. Not me. I just hit reply to your post. Either you or someone you replied to did, or someone they replied to did, etc. The original message (I think, looking at my archives), with headers, I replied to: Subject: cat shows From: good golly Ms Molly Newsgroups: uk.rec.pets.misc, rec.pets.cats.misc NNTP-Posting-Host: p-431.newsdawg.com Path: netnews.proxy.lucent.com!ash.uu.net!priapus.visi.c om! orange.octanews.net!news.octanews.net!green.octane ws.net!news- out.octanews.net!news.glorb.com!pln-w!spln!dex!extra.newsguy.com! newsp.newsguy.com!enews1 Message-ID: You were replying to Kristine from your quote attributes. -- -- ~kaeli~ Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

I phrased that wrongly, I was trying to make the point (badly, obviously!) that cats are territory-led and don't like being removed from it. Dogs are used to going long walks, trips in the car, visits with their owners. Although they fiercely guard their home territory (and it's not really the territory, is it? it's the pack they're protecting), they're also used to going places so going to a show isn't as stressful as taking a cat out of the environment it spends 24/7 in. (most) Dogs are territorial and they are often crated (caged) both for the trip to the show and at it. It's safest. Again, I didn't put that very well, the dogs don't spend their showtime sitting miserable in a cage, only taken out to be examined. They get a chance to show off, please their owner, get a few treats. There's much more in it for the dog at the show than a cat. I'm sure the dogs are happier than the cats about shows, though. You know what they say about dogs, right? Dog thought: Oh, breakfast! My favorite! Oh, Daddy, my favorite! Oh, the car, my favorite! and so on. *LOL* :-D |

And why do some people dye them pink or blue, it's horrible. Poor doggies. I'd rather see them as nature intended tbh. Nature didn't intend anything. We bred them. Yeah ( I'd still rather see them as nature intended though. Nature creates the most beautiful creatures without us interfering. Those cuts are for show dogs and working dogs. The vast majority of Poodles (at least here in the States) are kept in a puppy, or lamb, cut. As to the dyeing, I've no clue. I don't like it at all. Of course, I truly doubt the dog cares a whit what it's hair looks like. The aren't that vain IME. *G* Heheh, I don't know, my friend had a stunning big Old English Sheepdog. Every summer it would go and have all its hair shorn off and he just *knew* he looked stupid, he'd mope around miserable for days, heheh. |
