They do show their dogs. They do sport with their dogs. They own grooming salons to pay for that sport because it's an expensive hobby. But do I see it in the industry, in the pet-grooming industry, this is already as big as Westminster.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThis year's dog winner is Paisley, a female White Poodle, decorated to the theme Wild Wild West.\u003cbr/\u003eOn one side of the poodle, owner Cindy Oliver,  a pet groomer from Cleveland, Tennessee sculpted a cowboy and a buffalo, on the other side a cactus and a horse, and on her head an armadillo. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It takes like 20 to 30 hours and then you do it in two hour sessions and whenever you have multiple shows, I mean it's about twelve hours of re-dying, and re-grooming, and all that,\" says Oliver.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe winning cat this year was a rescued stray Siamese, who was captured after she became trapped in an air duct at a restaurant. Her owner styled an ornate series of flowers and hearts scissored and coloured into the hair on her back. \u003cbr/\u003eShe is owned and groomed by professional groomer Angela Kumpe of Little Rock, Arkansas, who has named the cat Martini. \u003cbr/\u003e\"What I do is I cut her down and then I draw on the pattern with a marker and then the dye, this all Avatar and Manic Panic (hair dye and blow pen), which are very safe human products and then when it grows out a little bit we carve around the edges and then for finishing touches we add some rhinestones and earrings to her here at the show with a little bit of Dove, non-toxic glue,\" says Kumpe.   \u003cbr/\u003eKumpe says she knew Martini was a prize-winning cat as soon as she saw her. \u003cbr/\u003e\"She was actually found in some duct work, she was a rescue cat at a local restaurant and she was about three weeks old and getting bottle fed and I went to the vet clinic and picked her out and I dyed her hot pink when she was about three weeks old and took tabs on her.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe judge, Dina Perry, says Martini was the obvious winner. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It was the detail. The absolute detail, the colour,\" says Perry. \"I don't think I've ever seen anything so beautiful on a cat as that detail was on that.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe second place winner was a domestic shorthair cat decorated like Chester Cheetah Cheeto. \u003cbr/\u003eThird place winner was a Himalayan cat styled to look like a lion named Hima Lion. \u003cbr/\u003eHis lower back was styled to look like a lion face and a lion mane was cut and coloured around his face. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I used semi-permanent kiss express for the brown and then did some air brushing for the detail in the face,\" says owner and groomer Angela Menard from Toronto, Ontario. \u003cbr/\u003eSome have criticised extreme grooming as being bad for animals, but DiMarino says the pets enjoy the attention:\u003cbr/\u003eCats and dogs are colour blind, thank goodness, we should all be color blind and they don't care they, their perception of what they look like is pretty much reserved to their front feet,\" said Teri DiMarino of Intergroom. \"They do however appreciate the attention. They know that it's a little bit different and it's kind of like when you feel good after a massage or after you get your hair done.\" \u003cbr/\u003eShe adds that the safety and welfare of the animals is a priority.\u003cbr/\u003e\"There are no harmful colours or dyes they are all safe applications, there is no bleaching allowed, there's nothing that should impede the pets movement or motion,\" says DiMarino. \"So everything is very safe and amazingly a lot of these dogs have really come out of shells, may be a little bit reserved, but once they start getting the color everybody pays attention to them and they come out of their shells and they just blossom with the color and what's wrong with having a little bit of fun with our pets, right?\"\u003cbr/\u003eMost of the dogs are Standard or Mini Poodles, because their hair grows long enough to style. \u003cbr/\u003eThe cats are mostly mixed breed domestic shorthair and longhair cats. \u003cbr/\u003eEach groomer gives the pet a theme. This year themes included cartoon dog Scooby Doo, a cat with birds on its back; cartoon character Popeye; a Peter Pan themed dog called Poodle Pan, and two underwater themes. \u003cbr/\u003eThe winning dog owner received $1,500 and a trophy. The winning cat owner received $800 cash, a hair dryer and a trophy. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eEast Rutherford, New Jersey - April 7, 2014 \u003cbr/\u003e1.
