And Sunday was only the 2nd time (in 40 years of judging on Nov 30th this year) that I had tears in my eyes when judging (no - not judging - handling with extreme care before I DISQ) - a siamese kitten of 4 mths which looked 6 wks at the max, had every bone poking out and every hair standing out, too. It won't live long. I think the exhibitors (I DISQ 2 others of theirs, but adults) are going to be suspended or expelled as members.
The saddest thing is that I could tell these cats were obviously loved - they were the happiest things......... but the owners aren't rocket scientists and seem to me to be cat hoarders. They (and the cats) need medical help.
