Overheard at the St. Paul Cat Show


Yes, The Tangential covered 35th Annual Saintly City Cat Club Cat Show at Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Here’s what you missed.

“I’m feeling here for the fine musculature and seeing a nice long barrel.”

“Really? A bottle of coke costs $4.00?”

“I was hoping to meet some dudes this weekend so between ladies night on Friday and the cat show today, I’m thinking I’m gonna do pretty well.”

“Well I would say this day is just about perfect! Or, I should say, purrrrfect. HAHAHahhahaha.”

“Is it weird that there are a lot of people I know here? Or maybe I am just recognizing some of them from other cat shows… At what point do we cross the line into doing this totally sincerely?”

“Abyssinians are the instigators of the feline world.”

On a t-shirt: “Real men love cats.”

“Have you noticed how many handlers are wearing clip-in ponytails?”

Over the loudspeaker: “Kittens 26 and 101 to ring 3 for judging please! We are waiting on kittens 26 and 101…”

“I can’t believe it took us this long to make a joke about pussy.”

“WHhhYYY do they sell Eminem nesting dolls here?”

“These Eminem nesting dolls are like, really well made. I kind of want them. What an artful rendering of the many faces of Marshall Mathers!”

Emily Weiss and David McCrindle will go again next year.
