As the show manager, I have the rights appoint anybody that capable enough to do a vetting-in, and i'm sure all the forumers that know Alicia would be agree with me there is no one better from her in handling strays. Futhermore she is one of committee members.


2. I brought 6 HHP, 3 being disqualified (unfortunately 3 of my best HHP) suspected of fleas and lices. What baffling me, all 6 sharing the same cages, same roofs, same transport.. but 3 are clear (the least chances HHP cats). I wonder...

3 out of 6 of your cats have visible of lices. Therefore according to the show rules, the veterianian (or anybody that appointed by me) can disqualified your cats. Me, myself as Show Manager has checked your cats and DISQUALIFIED it.


3. And after all cats being benched, I've noticed one of the said contestant cat being brought in and straightaway to the benching area... without anybody checking.. (ooohh she's the "vet")


she do the checking, maybe u don't see??. me myself has double check on it. I even can DISQUALIFIED any cats that allowed by the vet should they prove to have Fleas, Lices and etc.


4. Being a new FSM member, and have supported your show in Kulai, but didnt really know anybody (wonder if i could befriend the said constestant - will my cats being allowed to enter)


Like I said earlier, as Show manager I have the rights to DISQUALIFIED your cats when its proven to have lices, fleas etc. hence you a member, commitee or whatever even you bring 100 cats to support our show!



5. The show manager explained to me that it's the responsibility of each exhibitor to makesure competing cats are free from the above - but is it the show manager's responsibility to provide vet on duty, and i'll accept whatever the vet said even to the extend disqualifying all my cats.

You're wrong. I can appoint anybody of my show commitee to handle the vetting-in. I show no HHP therefore I'm not your competitor BUT I still DISQUALIFIED your cats.


6. I wonder, should any of the constestant, sue the organiser because of their cats got disease right after shows, and no vets around to check (and no one bother to check the vaccination card)...

Fleas, Lices got nothing to do with vaccination card, and I need no vets to prove that your cats have fleas or lices.

I even can take action against you for taking back the cats that I have DISQUALIFIED and put into quarantine room to the show hall. Which I will table down in the post-mortem meeting. Should I let you in, YES the exhibitors can file a complaint against the show committee.




So, i hope for the future event :-

1. If there's no vet around, all cats being allowed to enter (responsibility of each exhibitor to makesure all their cats are in proper condition - trust them)- and the exhibitors take risk too here.
2. If there's no vet around, and organiser dont trust all the exhibitors - cancel the show - this is to avoid the organiser being sued if any complications arise after the show should you go ahead without the vet.
3. Stop appointing participants to be a vet!


1. I can do a non-vetting in show, if the show committee agree. Should there any complaint to any of the cats that having fleas etc, I have the rights to removed the cats from show hall.
2. Read (1)
3. Like I said, i can excercise my rights as Show Manager.


My advice, pls. logon to CFA website and grab yourself a copy of Show Rules, and next time pls. be more responsible to your cats by make sure they have no fleas, lice etc. Be a responsible exhibitor. Thank You


Thanks.
