January 30, 2008: Herding Cats

This is the greatest exercise in frustration and futility ever devised. Agility competition.... for cats.
http://cellar.org/2008/catx-large.jpg
Agility competitions are not about how agile the animal is, everyone knows cats are agile. Agility competitions are about the animal, usually a dog, racing against the clock through an obstacle course, as directed by the owner/trainer. You know, taking direction, following orders, obeying commands....cats????
From USA Today...

They work their way through a daunting course of tunnels, jumping and weaving through poles. All on cue. Sort of.
But whatever they decide to do, it's more than most normal-thinking people would expect.

For these animal athletes are cats, doing their owners' bidding — more or less — in competitions patterned after canine agility contests.

You've never been ignored until you've been ignored by a cat. They just have a way of making you cease to exist. I am a man, and I love my cat. Heh, kinda sounded like a Cataholics Anonymous meeting there didn't it? "My name is Gravdigr, and I love my cat.":headshake

I could get Diz to do a competition like that as long as I had a pen, some earplugs and some chicken. That cat is mad for all three.

Cats have staff...

Thanks, I'll take that as a welcome.
I still dislike cats though. You're right, I am jealous.

Q. Why do dogs lick their balls?

A. Because they can!
