Cat Show

Crowded and noisy. I stayed for an hour and felt bad for some of the cats judged. Putting a cat through their paces is in some case traumatic in my view, done for the aggrandizement of the owners.

Sony Alpha α7R II
1/60s f/2.8 at 24.0mm iso1250 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Excellent shot and the light is so well exposed. I’m not in favor of these shows. V

Love the lighted dome, but the idea of cat imprisonment and slavery is abhorrent!

This is a very surreal scene.
I find it to be absolutely fascinating!
Our cat would get even with us when we arrived home!

That dome sure makes for an impressive image !! A different world for sure ! V
PS I just watched a documentary on this subject - seems the cats and their owners are very close and used to gadding from one show to another !

Nice shot of the cat fanciers under that impressive dome. V

Terrific shot of the contest. I guess showing them has to be easier than herding them though.

oh, and excellent capture of the busy scene...
globalgadabout06-Feb-2019 23:20
must be freaky for the felines, that's for sure....all the noise, people, and so many other cat nearby can only be frightening..

Cool photo of the venue but I agree with you 100%. The cats would much rather be in their own homes on a comfortable chair.

A great composition with that impressive roof, agree with your sentiment though.

I totally agree with you Neil, I don't like these kind of events either! But your image is superb V

Strong documentary shot. Makes me not want to go to Cat Show. You're right Neil, it's all about the owners. "V"

Nice capture of this crowed event, Neil..

My cats prefer the old living room sofa! I agree; this isn't helping the kitties at all.

Great HDR picture - I agree with your comment about cat shows - I would never do this to my cats (V)

A superb presentation of the place and you captured so well the atmosphere inside...V.

That's a great shot, Neil. I like the colors but dislike how the cats are treated. V
Charlene Ambrose06-Feb-2019 06:32
Didn't know they even did this! Great view, but those poor cats.... V
