I received several nice complements on my cats temperaments this past show. On how they seem to take everything in stride, and yet are still very handle-able and pleasant. Anyone can take them to and from a ring. Kids can be noisy. Cages can drop. Any number of things can happen in a show hall - and my cats seemingly take it all in stride.
What a nice compliment. but conversely it does raise the question of why. So I have included a couple of photos to kind of give you an idea of how my home operates. What you see here is a Halloween spider that jiggles across the floor while making squeeling noises. Looks like loads of fun - what the casual observer doesn't realize is that my 2 boys are in the background yelling and running around. And that earlier we were testing another Halloween "thing" that is a full size broom on wheels that screams, laughs and "chases" people - or in this cases cats around smooth surface floors - it is really quite the decoration. Bill, the big brown tabby kitten on the right, eventually "caught" the spider and tried shaking it like a puppy while the others caught on to the broom of smacking it to make it move and chase their neighboor !
So when a kid cries in a show hall or someone drops something or any number of things that can happen - my cats simply shrug their shoulders and say "hey, you think that's bad? Try living at our house!"
