Other good stories...OH, I do...but it's not so much about the cats as about working AROUND the cats!

So, the group I worked with is/was called the CEC and they had a performance at our local Ren Faire. They had a booth that sat to the side and sold all manner of kitty things to help fund their group. Well, one day I was watching the booth not manning the crowd(that was fun though) and they had the snow leopard out. I was in mah wench outfit and was leaning forward on the booth to see the corner of the stage.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see a straggler coming up the hill and looked over and smiled. He kept going but smiled back. I returned my attention to the stage and was making faces at the kitty, whom was staring at me. I see more movement and glance up...right as the guy I'd already smiled at ran into the ONLY TREE ON THE HILL. Why? Cause he was still staring at me. Cause I was leaning on the booth...and apparently my wench top wasn't as pulled up as it should have been. He hit that tree so hard he STARTLED the snow leopard, whom jumped off his platform and had to be called back.

Suffice to say I was dead from LOL. And then died again when the handler asked me what was going on after the performance.

I'm super, super bitter that the group soon fell under litigation with PETA(the morons) and had to stop doing shows/events. I don't even know if they still exist because their on-line presence has always been small.
