Animal Expo 2010 ~ Paris, France

The so-called "biggest salon of pets" was held at the floral park of Paris on October 16 and 17, so I had to check it out. On the premises, much more people than pets unfortunately, an organization truly not well organized, the most common dog breeds (no Chinese Crested or Afghan Hound for instance, not even a more common Basset Hound, Great Dane or Pekingese), displayed in cages, booths not too welcoming, in short, a big disappointment. On the other hand, a great variety of cats, which made up for the rest.

Not easy to take pictures of these little beings between the bars of crates or the plastic of the cats' beds. I was happy when able to catch a few that were taken out for a walk or that were waiting for their turn in their owner's arms to see the judges of breeds.

Despite of it all, here are a few pictures of dogs and cats present at this exposition, whether be puppies or kitties waiting for new owners, dogs waiting to be taken for a walk or cats waiting to go home (although they were by far the most comfortable in their cozy beds). So a lot of wait, even for the bipeds waiting more or less patiently in front of booths that others agree to move in order to also be able to get a glimpse...
