Pussies Galore

[Carole]

Tonight (Friday) 7.35 Channel 4.

All about mad cat women :roll: Includes Sphinxes, for those of you who like them. The programme's only 25 minutes long - so blink and you'll miss it :D

[DizzyJenni]

I'll be catching up on this tomorrow :)

[spicey]

Oh I might have to record that!! :lol: I'm out tonight for a meal so must remember! Thanks Carole! :D

[TinaB]

oh thanks carole, will watch that for sure

[spicey]

Just got home at lunch and my mum had left a message on my answer machine telling me to tune in to Channel 4 this evening at 7.35... there's a programme on about pussy cats!! :lol: She knows me so well!! :lol:

[Charlie]

just Sky+'d it, the programme summary says something about a woman and her 83 cats???.......83 is a whole lot of cats, am totally intrigued now.

[Mochali]

Set the PVR :)

[beejay]

Thanks Carole - just booked it !!

[Sue_McP]

Anna rang about 10 mins after start and said that's the film crew at the FB show we went to.....just watched and Ramases & I were on

TV I am officially a :dramaqueen: :lol:

Sue

[tasha]

I felt sorry for poor old Mr Darcey, he didn't look happy at all being spruced up for the show. :(

Anna rang about 10 mins after start and said that's the film crew at the FB show we went to.....just watched and Ramases & I were on

TV I am officially a :dramaqueen: :lol:

Sue

We saw you!!!!:star:

[Banana]

Yayyyyy - I need to watch again and see if I am in the backgroud taking pics!! :woho:

You STARS :star::star::star: Sue and Ramasses

[beesmese]

Just watched and I thought I saw Sue and Rameses. Wasn't sure, but now you've comfirmed it. I couldn't believe how well all those 83 cats were kept. I was expecting it to be a hovel, but she was pretty clean really.

[TinaB]

I loved the Sphynxes!!!!!! think 83 cats is being a bit too much of a crazy cat lady, but I loved the way they went walking with her... nice to know we are not the only people who relish the company of our feline companions and appreciate our cats for who they are

[beejay]

I was amazed that 83 cats seemed to get on so very well together - at least while they were being filmed!! Felt really sorry for poor Mr Darcey!

[MagicT]

Stupid, stupid SKY. I set the box to record, which it did but the signal was so bad for most of tonight that there was no sound and the picture kept freezing gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm sure I saw Carolmanycats 'Jack' at the FB show.

I did feel sorry for Mr Darcy I'm surprised he could breath with all that powder.

TV I am officially a :dramaqueen: :lol:

Sue

I knew I saw ramases, My otherhalf was laughing at me when I said I reconised a cat on tv. He looked very handsome by the way:star:

[MagicT]

If anyone missed it and wants to see the programme I managed to see it again, with sound, on the Channel 4 web site. Thay have an area called 4oD where you can watch programmes, a bit like BBC iplayer.

Saw you and Ramases this time Sue.

[spicey]

I've recorded it!! Will look out for you Sue and Ramases!! Oooh how exciting... HB ladies are famous!! :lol:

[Banana]

Thanks Nicky!!

I watched my recording last night again - well only the Cat Show bits... It was fab!! :cheerleader:

I too felt sorry for Mr Darcey :(

If anyone wants to see pictures from the show they are here:

Mr Darcey had gone home by the time I started taking pics of the Persians - however - I have the other 2 that beat him!! :cheerleader:

[Lucia]

Gaaarggh! I didn't see Sue - I'm so dumb I didn't realise that the cat I cried out 'Oh, that one looks like Rameses!" on seeing actually was Rameses! ::oops:

I liked the woman with the 83 cats very much and the sight of her out for a walk with them was amazing, but I felt it wasn't at all amazing that poor Mr Darcey freaked out after having been groomed for six hours the night before his show! :(

[Banana]

I think the saddest part was the pitiful noise he made as he became upset in the show hall.... I think we must have been eating bacon rolls when that all happened Sue! :lol:

I also am amazed you looked so well Sue - considering the amount you had drunk the night before :lol:

[Charlie]

I felt sorry for Mr Darcy too, I thought his owner seemed a bit highly strung and it wound him up too.

Glad she made the decision he wouldn't go to show again, better from him.

[Carole]

I was amazed that 83 cats seemed to get on so very well together - at least while they were being filmed!! Felt really sorry for poor Mr Darcey!


I couldn't believe all those Bengals/Bengal types either and how well they got on - now Roy wants to live in Wales with a herd of happy Bengals following his every move .... :roll:

I didn't record it - well I recorded something on another channel instead by mistake, I've never got the hang of this DVD recorder so will have to fathom out the watch again thing on Channel 4.

[avalanche]

Have to say, the programme was really good but I also found it really sad when I heard Mr Darcy. He sounded like a baby crying, poor baby. It was sad

[Mochali]

Saw Sue too!

I dont know how I felt about the woman with 83 cats...

[Sue_McP]

Lucia you can watch again here

Sue

[Blossom]

Just watched it! I saw you Sue.

I know Kelly with the Sphynx :)

[Carole]

I keep thinking how good all those cats were together. I've only got two but Hetty will have a go at Max :( is there a point when you have so many cats all together that they stop fighting? I'm thinking also of that Russian woman with 100 cats in her flat ... do you think once you get 50 plus they all start to behave?????????

[Chrissi]

Thanks for the link Sue, I've just watched it with my baby bear on my lap validating my entry into the mad cat lady club :lol:

I thought it was a positive programme. I think the woman with 83 cats has maybe gone a bit far but the cats all looked happy, healthy and unquestionably loved. I especially loved the old doddery BSH (?) following behind on the walk :wub:

Didn't like poor old Mr Darcy at the show, that's always my fear if i took a cat and they were unhappy, i think i would have skipped the judging and just taken him home. But although the woman was very competitive at the end of the day she does love him.

[spicey]

I watched it yesterday and spotted Sue and Ramases... in fact I'm sure I saw Ramases again a bit later on too? Ste was laughing at me as I kept rewinding and pointing to the tv saying "look! look... that's Sue and Ramases!!!" :lol:

I too felt very sorry for poor old Mr Darcy! :(

[DizzyJenni]

Just about to watch it now :)

[DizzyJenni]

famous Sue!

[Lucia]

Thanks, Jenni! :D

I tried to watch it again following Sue's link, but Mozilla wouldn't let me! :(

[nose leather]

Lovely programme. I am glad I have a Siamese who requires minimal preparation for a show. All that preening is bound to have upset poor Darcy.

[DizzyJenni]

I couldn't believe she covered him from top and toe in talc!!! And what was she doing with her face when she said "i'll have to take it all off and start again" ??

[pgreen3108]

want to see the waman with all thoes cats but wont let me has anyone got a link i can see please ,

[spicey]

Was that Soupie's Selkirk Rex I saw by the way?

[Banana]

No - that was Jack - Carolmanycat's boy!

:tinker:

[spicey]

Oh I thought I'd seen him before!! :D

[Ellie]

Noynarock Zach's a bit gorgeous, and all!

[spicey]

I couldn't believe she covered him from top and toe in talc!!! And what was she doing with her face when she said "i'll have to take it all off and start again" ??
I was wondering that too Jenni! Looked like she was putting vaseline or something similar in the corners of his eyes?

[MagicT]

I think she was trying to cover up any tear staining he my have had, maybe using Eye Envy or something like that, I believe people who show pale coloured cats and dogs use it when showing.

[capricciosababs]

cheers carole! will watch it tonight ie after the archers !

[Soupie]

I think she was trying to cover up any tear staining he my have had, maybe using Eye Envy or something like that, I believe people who show pale coloured cats and dogs use it when showing.

I use eye envy but it takes 30 seconds to clean his eyes if that - eye envy on cotton pad and wipe!

I think some chinnie breeders/exhibitors do use make up to enhance the eye area .................

it does take time to prepare a persian properly but she did seem to go overboard!

[capricciosababs]

wah! didnt read the date on this thread so we missed this!
