I don't care!
I want cat shows too.
I'm so sad I'd watch the 24 Hour Cat Television Show if it existed.

What am I saying?
No, of course I wouldn't!
All the cats you see on TV are spoiled and pampered by people who think their behaviour is normal.

Don't get me wrong - I adore my cats and I know some people IRL think I spoil them. But the truth is I know they are cats - I treat them like cats. Affectionate cats, yes. But that's no spoiled in the way you can spoil children. If you hand feed a cat it will expect hand feeding for life. If you get up for a cat at 03.00 every morning it will think this is a normal occurrence.

However if you try to get a madly potent catnip toy, or give them a warming pad because they are heat-mad, they don't go boasting to other cats in the neighbourhood and they don't come home asking for what all the other cats have that they don't.

Therefore I don't spoil my cats.

Also, although they are pedigree (argh) they are beautiful to me because they are dynamic, healthy and energetic. Apologies to anyone with Persians, but really. A cat that has trouble eating because of its nose and has to be cleaned every time it uses a litter tray? That's a little freaky in my book.

Well, it is a post-whore thread and I've wanted to get that off my chest for a while.

Miaouw!
Now I have to go home and film my cats some more. How awful ;)

poor thing.

I completely agree that cats are not children. That way lies danger! Fortunately, I do have actual human children which stem the slide into catladyverse.

I ALSO completely agree about Persians--ugly things, imo, and cats should be beautiful.

I am a mad old catlady and proud.
And appreciate a thread to be mad old catlady in.

BTW when I say Miaouw! I usually mean someone is being catty.
In this case it was a cat-agreement to the fact you thought we needed a thread.

We need Jinx here too. She completely changed my mind re Siamese - I thought (:blush:) they were skinny overbred horrors. Then I saw her's.

oh, but I loves me some Siamese. Even the skinny overbred type. :) And Balinese, Tonkinese, Birman . . . but not Himalayan, 'cause they're Persians in disguise.

and oh, btw, have you seen the American Curls? Sooooooo cute! and supposedly free of the defects that Scottish folds have.

I'm at a loss as to why you chose relationships, for cat tv.

not really about tv--about cats. don't pet topics go in Relationships? pets are important relationships, to me. it's where some other pet threads are.

SO CAT TV

All my future cat vids will go here
And I want more people to join me

I will contribute here, because cats (and Cloud and SG) are the shizz. I'm partial to the siamese and orientals, but I like any cats that look cool and have personality. Persians are gross and look absolutely miserable. I am in love with this cat right now, hoping to get one like it (and name her Mark).

My big fancy camera doesn't do movies, so I'll have to find and charge one of the little ones that does...

This is obviously a Singa (tho paler than mine and appears to have eyeliner on!)

Mute the sound if you're not into child-like Japanese singing. For me it adds to the experience.

Please note (snobbishly) I am only adding a random vid because there is such little Singa information out there.
