Cat People vs. Dog People

We're walking through Javitt Center at "Meet the Breeds," a yearly opportunity put on by the American Kennel Club to play with puppies and kitties of almost every conceivable type.

The dogs have generously bestowed their slobber and fur upon us, leaving us vibrating with happiness and goodwill, so we decide to check out the cat portion of the event.

Static glamour shot-style photos of angry looking cats and their sour handlers line the booths, and almost all of the cats sulk in their cages.

As we pass one more of these dour exhibits, Katie says, "Walking into the cat section feels like attending the funeral of a stranger."
