We have the same thing when exhibiting dogs to a high standard but we try to make sure there is always someone who knows our dogs watching them if we have to leave them, it is a very sad society that we live in these days, but we dont let that spoil our hobby we just watch them all the time.

i dont understand how anyone who loves animals could want to harm them just for the sake of winning a rosette

i told hubby that at the shows like we were at on sunday we could stay with our cat and make sure she was allright but he said it happened at a show like that so we cant show her

i did so want to try it it all looked so much fun and said i would make sure she was never left for a minute but he wont let me now

still i can stay here and read about you all having fun cant i and dream

I've never known it happen at a FIFe show, not in the 5/6 yrs i've been showing. I have heard the rumours about it happening at others, but it was a few years ago. I would'nt know if they were true or not as I don't show with that governing body anyway.
I think it's a great shame that your hubby won't let you show, as your cat would be just fine.

Perhaps I am too trusting but I suspect that this sort of thing is generally done by nasty people who vie with those who are seen to be doing very well in the show rings and have become well known/famous. The people whose cats are doing well then have to resort to extreme security measures. I believe that show rings like Fife and TICA, where people may stay with their cats at all times, are not quite so exposed to this danger.

I would certainly be content to take my cat to a TICA or Fife show.

Wendy - many congratulations !!! (although belatedly). Nice to read that you had a geat day last weekend.
