I CAN understand sanctions against Russia when they affect humans, but cats?
The International Cat Federation has banned Russian cats from competing in their shows in the latest response to the invasion of Ukraine.
The Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) confirmed that cats bred in Russia will not be allowed to compete in their shows until May 31 at the earliest.
How ridiculous. This horrendous situation is not the fault of any animal and they should not be brought into the equation at all. People start wars, always have done, always will.
