Untitled - Kyina & Talisker Cats Breeders of Russian Blues in ...

'lo-day there arc several photographersof cats who are essentially artists andwhose work, if collected in one hall,would attract a iarge public. Difficultyes.but not impossible.Thc hislory o{ the cat from earliesttimes could be shown by illustration andalso by other means if the museums $,ereprepared to co-operate. Some certainlywould help if asked by a responsible bod,v.As Mr. Denham has proved in hisadmirable little book " Cats BetrveenCovers," there is a real literature, bothEng'lish and foreign, dealing wirh thecat, and to see such a collection of books,even if they could not be handled, wouldbe an attraction to many people.What would there be against thedecoration of pens when the judging wascompleted ? It might be a trouble, butit could be attractive.Another thing which has alwaysseemed to me vaiuable at shows is acloser contact between those who knowcats intimately and thosc who don't.An advice bureau, if you like, a quiz. if you prefer it, but do give the visitorsomething more for his money than asaunter round thc pens lbllowed by acup oftea and a bun at the buffet.To those of you who have ideas ol'your own it will be obvious that I haveonly.touched upon the fringe of the manypossibilities which exist for making showsmore popular attractions for the manand woman in the street.Club treasurers and their committeeshave realised during recent years hotwdifficult it is to make shows pay their way.Surely, if new ideas are tried out, thereshould be a profit. Add to that somethingwhich is even more important, the possibilitythat many owners of ordinary catsmight feel the desire to own a cat ofpedigree. That would surely be a stepin the right direction.HORSEFTESH FOR HUMANGONSUMPTIONFresh or Frozen Cooked or RawBRAWNS, RABBITS and DOG BI3GUITSWe deliver by our own Vons within arodius of 25 miles of Brixton.
