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.
