EXHIBITION OF CATS
I have been very much surprised, when have visited an exhibition of cats for the first time. It was not similar to an exhibition of dogs. Exhibitions of dogs always pass very dynamically. All goes, all works. Some rings work. Owners and their dogs run on these rings, showing moving of dogs. All participants stop on a sign of the judge for survey of a bearing of dogs. And movements again to give the possibility for expert to compare dogs. Different categories of dogs replace on a ring each other. Puppies try to break all rules. Their owners try to calm down their pets. All rustles, all goes, all lives…
The exhibition of cats has surprised me with the calmness. Cats sit in the exhibition cage. Their owners talk with each other slowly near cages. Behind a separate table the expert works. The assistant brings him cats for survey. Everything is rather silent, respectable, slow… Velvet pillows for cats lay in cages. Cats play with motley toys in “small houses”. Owners are dressed very solemnly. Women in shoes on a high heel. They presume to make to themselves a solemn make-up and a solemn hairdress. There are no people in the sports suits which have sweated from fast run. I even have little envied cats. They should do nothing. Neither to run, nor to stand in the exhibition rack, to be obedient. Cats need to be oneself. To fun in cages. If it is became sad - to sleep. Cats should suffer only when they will be attributed to the expert for the description. Their owners do not demand anything from pets. They simply love the cats. I envied cats until have visited an exhibition of decorative rabbits. Rabbits do not get out of cages at all…. I have understood that everything is relative in the world.
