Here is an interesting:twisted: new idea.

Why not race cats against each other and have mice riding on their backs as a jockey. The mice could even wear little jockey's uniforms made of pure silk.

Would it ever catch on?:suspect:

Are you sure you don't smoke ?

They already have gerbil roulette on Sky TV, so I suppose anything's possible.

Sounds like a recipe for a CAT-astrophy ...

The cats would jump up and paw / claw / maim / kill / eat ... the jockies on the other cats.

Which would probably be more funny than the racing itself.

How you gonna hold the mice on - with gaffa tape??? :)

I suppose I could try out your idea by trying to get the hamster to ride on the cat's back... but we already have enough cruelty with the grand national... where horses (riden by idiots) fall and break their legs and have to be shot. Personally I would prefer a sport where the animals who choose to take part end up getting put down, rather than animals who have no say in whether to take part.

:(

I just had to bump this up.....

You dont get better!, get out more!

Id pay good money to see monkeys riding greyhounds, sorry, but its something ive dreamt about for years, i once saw some footage of it happening somewhere or other(years ago), the dogs are natural born sprinters, and monkeys are inquisitive creatures, hey it might catch on....

Slimsid had an offer of a night at the dogs and a kiss, but chickened out!
