On the 3rd day of a 3-day cat show, it was apparent that some of the kitties were a little tired.  This Persian was quite content to nap in the cage and wasn’t real crazy about waking up and going to meet the judge.   To make matters worse, the judge wanted him to climb on the scratching post.  I was seated next to the cat’s owner and she said that he hadn’t climbed the post all weekend.  Well lo and behold, a spurt of energy must have come along and after a little teasing with a cat toy, up the scratching post he went!  Everyone cheered!  🙂   I think he was just humoring us and thinking, “Let’s just get this over with so I can go back to sleep!”
