Hahahah!! Ladies, your husband thinks you're a domestic animal! C'mon! It's FUNNYYY!!! [groan] Well, the photographs are nice, at least. :/ (I don't know whether Chandoha himself wrote the "jokes," or if the actual writer understandably refused to take credit.) From the October issue of Everywoman's magazine.

"The more formal contests are conducted under rules prescribed by a recognized organization of cat fanciers. They're tremendously exciting to attend whether you've entered a cat or not-- and, incidentally, you can enter your cat even if you don't belong to the club or own a pedigreed cat."

"Contrary to popular opinion, the size of a cat has little bearing on its ability to win shows. Often a large cat may simply have a handsome coat and nothing underneath it to conform to the judge's standards. On the other hand, an extremely small cat may have the bone structure (as well as coat) that enables it to walk off with a blue ribbon."

"Just as there are cats and cats, so are there cat shows and cat shows. These range from events at Madison Square Garden to determine All-Breed Champions, to competitions in children's club houses for the purpose of selecting the cat with the fuzziest tail."

"Some cats are natural explorers. Others flee from new sounds and subjects. But either instinct can push your pet beyond his agility or sense of direction. That's when firemen stretch ladders to kittens caught on rooftops, when Lost & Found columns carry messages about missing pets, when traffic takes its sad toll..."

My half-Abyssinian is "playful" all right, if by that they mean loves diving into the trash, crashing into CD towers, and mauling the humans at random intervals.

"Handle the newcomer as little as possible. Unless he is obviously starving, don't feed him immediately..." Unless it's Puss 'N Boots brand Cheezburgers™.

A probable sequel to this . As before, I'd suggest focusing on the pictures and not the "jokes."
