Cat Show + Kathy Griffin

I had a blast today. Nothing quite like a morning at the cat show, taking in a Chicago Bears win, and then laughing my ass off with my "good friend" Kathy Griffin.

I gotta start out by saying the "cat people" were much more relaxed than the people showing at the rabbit show I went to earlier this year. And if you ask them about their cat, they are more than willing to gab with you until their next showing time. Here's a lineup of just about hairless breed of cats. Sad but true, I didn't actually absorb much of this new cat knowledge.

Here's my friend, Sam, he's a maine coon (one, if not, the largest of the small cat breeds). Maine coon's have the most laid back temperament. Out of the 7 or so that were shown, not one played with the toys the judge kept bopping them in the face with. Can't say that I blame them.

Now if you're an animal person like me and can't resist the cute and fuzzy, then I suggest stopping at your local cat show if you get a chance. I managed to meet my quota for random cat petting all in one day. Good thing because not many people take their cats for walks or shopping at the pet store.


How do you follow-up a morning at the cat show. Well, with an afternoon of Bears football and weekly household chores. I know, I'm living the life! Although I like my Bears, I was just killing time until Kathy Griffin decided to take the stage and grace us with her presence.

Here's a photo of Kathy. She would be the glowy human shaped blob that was sporting a bedazzled black shirt that may have read Team Griffin, jeans she stowed in the overhead compartment when flying, and some nice blank and white kicks.

As always, Kathy had me laughing until tears ran down my face. She did her Central Illinois research and picked us apart, cat show and all!!! Loved it!

As you can see from my Kathy photo, our group didn't necessarily have the best seats in the house, so when we found out $200 each could get us a post-show meet and greet with Kathy we simply sighed. How cool would that have been?!? But then again, the 2-hours she did spend with us seemed like catching up with an old friend. I'll just have to take her word for it, that she did sign my new shirt.
