Wednesday morning local time (that's your Tuseday night) I'm going to be on national TV here in Israel talking about cats in the morning show. I have been on TV twice before but never live (have been live on the radio several times) and this time it's on the most popular channel in Israel. I'm pretty nervous - so much so I can't get much sleep tonight as I keep thinking about what I'm going to say. There's so much I want to get across! I'll be there as a cat behavior counselor (most people in Israel don't even know there is such a thing) and I want to promote the next course for behavior counselling which opens August. I also want to talk about the big problems the CWSI is having now with so many kittens being dumped there. I'll be bringing a kitten from the shelter with me and I'm hoping to encourage people to come and adopt cats and kittens. Of course, I want to talk about the importance of spaying and neutering as well. And there's always the subject of feral cats which is near and dear to my heart. I have a relatively long item - they told me 13 minutes, but I'm pretty stressed over the need to get so many messages across. I don't want to blow this one - cats get little public exposure here and this is a really valuable spot. I don't want to bombard people with too much information either - I need to focus on the main things and get them across. I know they're going to start asking me about weird cat behaviors as well - they'll be looking for what they thing is "curios" and funny... I don't mind being asked - I'm ready to answer any weird cat question
I just don't want to lose the focus of the messages I want to get across.
Thanks Mary Anne for suggesting I post here. It's 2 AM and I'm up thinking about it. I sure could use some board magic when the show is on
