Welcome to a peek into my mind during the first 1/2 hour of the Shrine Circus...
Here are the cats... I'm all good with *most* of the cat show, it's the fire + cats I just can't tolerate, it's too far outside (complete opposite of) natural/instinctual behaviour for my comfort. Looky, they're so pretty and well fed. Can we then deduce happiness? You just can't beat up on circus cats, they'll just eat you (right? I mean they bite guys who are nice to them: Roy) Okay, I've seen my own domestic cat do most of those things, yeah, not on command, but it's a definitely a cat move. Anyone even brave enough to *think* they're in charge of cats [especially big'uns] gets my kudos for courage and delusion. Do the souls of cats agree to this kind of life? Is it better than having to chase down dinner? I doubt the male lion cares about that, it seems he's served either way, but what does he defend? Circus vs Zoo: Is life with purpose (a job) better than nothing, always nothing, in a bigger cage? (Almost always nothing: last year someone was stupid enough to get their hand into our local tiger's cage) Would I consider circus cat as a possible incarnation? Have I already?
Eee! here comes the fire equipment. I'm outta here! I wander the concessions until the big "AAAaaaahhhhh!" and I mosey on back up to the seats... the lion seems content, he's not gnawing on the guy, I guess it's okay.
Now on to the trapeze, ever notice how their pantyhose are always the wrong color for their skin tone...
