We Are NOT A"MEWS"ed!!!!!

Off with their heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least that is what I suspect this poor cat is thinking.

This cat is 1 of a multitude of poor cats that were the victim of fashion show for cats that I became aware recently of thanx to LarryD (I'm Changing My Blog Title...). Theoretically, the show was to honor Matilda, the famous Algonquin Hotel cat, on her 15th birthday as well as to raise funds for North Shore Animal League America. & while I am all for honoring Matilda, IMHO this is NOT the way to do it.

Let me start by saying that like Papa Benedetto I am a cat person. I love cats. That having been said, the next think I must say is I consider this to be cruelty to animals. I think I am safe in saying that Papa Benedetto would be just as aghast at this "Cat"astrophic abuse of cats as I am. & if anyone tried to do this to his beloved Chico I can guarentee you that he would automaticly excommuni"cat" that person.

I checked out the pictures of the poor victims. & except for the few who decided this was a good time for a nap to forget the indignitites they were being forced to undergo, I don't think I saw a happy face in the bunch as these examples will show:

"Will someone please pass the catnip so I can at least look like I am enjoying this party?"

"If I hear 1 more Carmen Mew-randa joke, I'll scratch their eyes out!!!!!"

In fact this poor cat looks like he is ready to put a curse on them for putting him through all this:

I haven't checked the NY papers for the last few days, but I wouldn't be surprized to find out there has been a recent rash of mysterious deaths. If there is the NYPD would do well to check how many of them entered their cats in this show, esp if the people were covered with unexplained claws marks.

As 1 person commented @ Larry's post: "I'm just guessing here, but these people don't have human children, do they?!" & as another person accurately responded; "if any of the owners do have human children, those kids are probably playing second fiddle to the cats." Any bets to the contrary?
