Cats Will Participate At The Westminster Dog Show This Year
AMNY- Meet the trio of adorable new breeds eligible to compete in the 141st Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show next month. The breeds were introduced at an event on Thursday at Madison Square Garden. The dogs, which were granted AKC breed full recognition, will compete on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14.
And not to forget the feline friends, cats will be featured for the first time in a few years during “Meet and Compete” on Feb. 11, a partnership between AKC Meet the Breeds and the Masters Agility Championship. “It makes it interesting,” said Gail Miller Bisher, a spokeswoman for the Westminster Kennel Club. “It’s a celebration of dogs — and now cat — but it needs to be a little bit of everything for everybody. That’s what we like about it.”
The new dog breeds — the American Hairless Terrier, the Pumi and the Sloughi — may all look very different from one another, but have one very important thing in common: They are just so cute.
What the shit is this nonsense? We have officially blurred the lines in this world to the point where cats are now competing in dog shows? What’s next? Fish? Snakes? Some sort of animal that Young Pageviews just shows up with one day? Not to sound like some narrow-minded asshole from the right or a bitchy protestor from the left. But this will not stand.
I don’t care if the cat they are allowing this year is a bengal cat with a pretty cool coat. Lions are cool. So are tigers. But they aren’t dogs. You know the difference? Well I’m not sure exactly what the exact scientific difference is other than basic physical traits. But one is a canine and the other is a feline. Case closed. I don’t know if that’s class, genus, species, or what. But facts are facts. And I also don’t care if it’s just the “meet and greet” part of the dog show. That’s how it all starts. First it’s the meet and greet. Then it’s the next day of events. Then we have nothing but stray cats competing in the Best In Show competition because dog owners don’t want their dogs near dirty, mangy cats. The dog owners in these shows have enough screws loose as is. We don’t need cat people getting involved. That’s like mixing gasoline and napalm.
Plus cats are shady, untrustworthy creatures that are also the mortal enemies of dogs everywhere. You know what a dog show that has a cat in it is called? A pet show. If we don’t stop here, where do we stop? Can dogs enter Miss Universe? Are basketball players players eligible for the NFL MVP? Clean your shit up Westminster Kennel Club. Or else that upstart media company Barstool Sports will be hosting the biggest dog show on the planet before you know it. Madison Square Garden is just a short walk up the street for us.
