293.0. "48 Hours segment of INCATS" by GRANPA::CCOLEMAN (Meow Angelo paints Hisstine Chapel) Thu May 21 1992 10:48

    Did anyone watch "48 Hours" last night on CBS? They had a special on
    people and their pets, and they had a small portion of the "INCATS" CFA
    show that was at Madison Square Garden. Bascially, they focused on 2
    cats -- a silver Maine Coon (I forget the breeders name, but she was
    from Texas) and an orange persian named Indiana Jones. I found it
    humorous, since P.A. has been hissing at judges -- when the judge took
    out the maine coon, it spit and hissed at the judge! Now I don't feel
    like the lone ranger! The maine coon did place in one ring -- not sure
    which one; and of course, Indiana Jones got best cat in show. They did
    show a sphynx, cornish rex, russian blue, and american shorthair. How
    come they never focus on a minority breed? (Guess I'm just a tad bit
    prejudice, as we all are with our breeds!  ;^)  )

Well, after announcing last week that this show was going to be on, I totally
missed recording it due to unforeseen circumstances.  Does anyone in the
Marlboro area have the show on tape so that I can borrow it?

Thanks,

    The Maine Coon is a minority breed out here!! ;')  Actually, after
    listening to a particularly obnoxious Coon breeder telling me that his
    breed is known as the "gentle giants" when one of my cats was acting
    up, I was glad to see his breed get this kind of NATIONAL EXPOSURE with
    a cat that was acting up.  Can't wait to see that breeder at the next
    show!! :')  hehehehehe
    
    The Coon got a couple of best of breeds, then won the best of breed for
    the show, but didn't make any finals.  The red persian was making
    finals and was highest scoring cat in show.
    
    Managed to catch a glimpse of Betty Cowles and one of her Birmans at
    the show.

    C'mon -- I knew that Maine Coons had an attitude -- it's the KORATS
    that are sweet and innocent, and NEVER EVER make a sound......NOT!

RIGHT Cheryl!  Korats NEVER make a sound!!  That's why I've got one named
PITA!! (-:  She's sweet and innocent!!

And Turkish Angoras are too!  That's why everyone's SO quiet whenever 
a turkish angora is taken out of the cage!! (-:  haha!

    Either korats DO meow, or I do not know what my korat is or she learned
    it from me.
    
    (And MOST sweet, true!)
