The Cat Show - Waving the Wand
All the exhibitors carry a wand to attract their cat's attention and hopefully make it look alert for the judge. In the main photo you see the judge waving one about, as she makes the decision as to which of these two cats should win the class. Neither seem remotely interested!
You'll note that exhibitors choose their wands to match their outfits - purple for the lady on the left and below, the lady with the concentrated expression - she is about to take her cat to the judge - has a wand with silver on the end, which matches the silver beading on her black dress.
j'aime bien la photo b&w, sinon pauvres chats
ReplyDeleteWhat elaborate behavior! The cats are gorgeous, but one wonders, do the owners just enjoy them as friendly, companion animals? Looks like you're having great fun with your new camera.
ReplyDeleteIt just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser, this cat show business, with each new post.
ReplyDeleteThis really is such an interesting world, this world of the cat show. Thank you for documenting it so beautifully and skillfully for us.
ReplyDeleteJolis animaux et belles photos. Je pense un peu comme Olivier, mais après tout ce n'est pas pire que l'élection de Miss France.
ReplyDeleteYour cat photos are really amazing. I'm loving them! The little wands are pretty interesting as I've never been to a cat show I wondered how they kept their attention.
ReplyDeleteMy cat loves toys like this. All wiggly and feathery! Cute!
ReplyDeleteNow those are big kitties, or are they all fur? No one seems to be having much fun, neither the kitties or the wranglers.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are a hoot! Really delightful. I admit I don't take it seriously, but I defend the right of the cat owners to take it as seriously as they wish.
