Honestly I think it's for the reasons I mentioned before - cats aren't as televisual. After all at least at Crufts (big UK dog show) the dogs are paraded round the ring, and you have agility classes and working dog demonstrations etc. With cats they come out of their box, are felt up by the judges and go back.
But I agree about trying to fly the pedigree flag. That's my excuse for showing as many people as possible my cat pics & videos anyway
And I'm def bringing Dylan back into work at some point - he only met Mark (who was bemused).
He is already a celebrity in the neighbourhood, from when I used to walk him before they were allowed out alone, from the fact he jumps on neighbours shoulders when HM is tlking to them, from when he escaped and was taken to the rescue centre - who called him Posh, drooled over him and were so sorry to see him leave. Also the guys who do the metal work in the yard here recognise at least one of them, and it's probably Dylan. Apparently he is quite skittish when out alone, but they describe him as the funny looking Siamesey cat. I am educating them.
Shawnee do try & find a pic. My parents had a cross breed. Yeah right. A purebred Siamese was got at by a dirty East London black & white tom
Spock was big, with a classical nose, black and white, noisy and affectionate. He is missed.
