Some of the policies for the individual pattern groups have not been reviewed or revised for some years. During this time, the Fancy has altered considerably, with the number of Persians being shown dropping dramati- cally, with a consequent reduction in breeders and breeding cats but also, on the plus side, the ability to show longhairs from Exotic or Exotic/Persian breeding at championship level in the section. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders to enable them to observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding Persian Longhairs. The aims of these amendments are to: open up the gene-pool enable breeders to outcross make it easier for breeders to import outcross bloodlines The over-riding factor should always be to maintain health, and preserve the unique qualities of this stunning breed, coat colour, length and texture, beautiful large, round eyes and sweet facial expression, which makes them sought after both for showing and as wonderful family pets. Origins of the Breed The breed’s name refers to Persia, the former name of Iran, where similar cats are found.

  • TICA Laperm and Laperm Shorthair Breed Introduction
    TICA LaPerm and LaPerm Shorthair Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: The LaPerm is a distinctive cat that charms everyone it meets with its soft coat of shaggy curls and ringlets sometimes called a gypsy shag. These are intelligent, active cats who carefully think through just how to get that toy placed just out of reach. The name reflects their Native American connection with the Chinook tribe who traditionally used the French definite article when creating new words. Breed founder Linda Koehl thought the cats' coat looked like a loose perm and thus named the new breed LaPerm. It is a lean muscular cat with no exaggerated features as is befitting its farm background as a working cat. In addition to the distinctive curly coat with its mohair texture, the LaPerm has enchanting large, expressive almond-shaped eyes. History : On March 1st, 1982 Linda Koehl watched a brown tabby cat named Speedy have a litter of 6 kittens in a barn in her cherry orchard and witnessed the birth of a new rex mutation: a long, skinny, hairless kitten with large wide-spaced ears, and a tabby pattern apparent in the skin like a tattoo. At 6 weeks the kitten developed a sparse curly shorthaired coat with a brown classic tabby pattern and Linda named her Curly. As she matured, Curly developed a soft wavy coat. Over time, more curly coated cats appeared and fascinated visitors to the farm who told Linda she had something special. She entered six cats in a cat show to see what people thought.

  • Basic Cat Genetics
    1 Basic Cat Genetics Felis sylvestra All domestic cats are descended from a wild ancestor (probably either Felis silvestris or Felis lybica) a mackerel tabby patterned animal, and thus all domestic cats are of an underlying genetic tab by pattern. All cats have 19 pairs of chromosomes upon which there are many thousands of genes that govern the eventual shape, size, sex, colour, pattern and hair length of the individual animal. Over the generations a number of mutations have occurred a nd selective breeding has been used to isolate these to produce the various pedigree breeds we see today. 2 The mapping of the feline genome has indentified the genes that control coat, colour and pattern in cats along with those that control body size, shap e and conformation and those which control diseases and structural abnormalities. Genetics Gene: (from the Greek genos) is the hereditary factor transmitted by each parent to offspring which determines hereditary characteristics. Genetics: the scientif ic study of the heredity of individuals, especially of inherited characteristics. Genes: All animals have 20 - 25,000 genes; e very living being that is reproduced from two parents inherits characteristics equally from both of them. These characteristics are determined by genes, control mechanisms carried rather like beads on strings along two rod - like bodies, called chromosomes. For each particular trait or characteristic, there is a gene arranged in a particular order along the chromosome that controls the e xpression of that trait. Cells and Chromosomes: Living organisms are composed of cells. A typical cell contains a nucleus within which are DNA and RNA - the building blocks of life.

  • Why the Blotched Tabby Is a Classic!
    Everything you need to know about Genetics… You can learn from your Cat! PART TWO BY DR. LESLIE LYONS Ph.D WHY THE BLOTCHED TABBY IS A CLASSIC! College Carl Linnaeus (1707 – 1778) is known as the "father of modern taxonomy for of developing the binomial nomenclature (genus species), the modern system of Veterinary naming organisms. For each named organism, an archetype or voucher Medicine, individual is identified and maintained in a museum. Linnaeus, himself, is the University “voucher” specimen for homo sapien, man. of Linnaeus spent his life dedicated to the pursuit of taxonomy and in 1758, his Missouri works declared the domestic cat as, Felis catus; Linneaus, 1758)1. His description of the archetype specimen is: {F. cauda elongata, corpore fasciis nigricantibus; dorsalibus longitudinalibus tribus; lateralibus spiralibus}. – a blotched tabby. Many taxonomists have worked to properly classify cats and felids, which is an ongoing process2-6. The early taxonomists considered the tabby pattern of domestic cat as dimorphic, having two pattern-phases - blotched and torquata (striped). Striped tabbies were more noted in the African wildcats (Felis lybica; Forster, 1780) and European wildcats (Felis silvestris; Schreber, 1777), but the blotched tabby was only found in domestics. Hence, the voucher specimen for the domestic cat is the “blotched” tabby – and no doubt, why blotched tabby is also called the “classic” tabby! The term “tabby” pre-dates the formal cat taxonomy and was used in the 1630’s as an adjective describing "striped silk taffeta," from French word tabis "a rich, watered silk" (originally striped), from Middle French atabis (14c.), from Arabic 'attabi, from 'Attabiyah, a neighborhood of Baghdad where such cloth was made, said to be named for prince 'Attab of the Omayyad dynasty7.

  • Positive Rabid Animal
    PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT POSITIVE RABID ANIMAL On 9/23/2016, the State of Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Laboratories Administration confirmed the status of an animal sent for rabies testing as POSITIVE. On 9/21/2016, Animal Control Officers and Kent County Health Department were notified of a cat acting strange in the area of Hackett Road in the Big Woods Community. The animal was captured and subsequently tested for rabies. We are reaching out to the community to inquire if anyone may have come into contact with an orange tabby cat between the dates of September 11, 2016 through September 21, 2016. If you feel that you have had contact with this animal, please contact the Kent County Health Department at 410-778-1361. Rabies is a virus that affects the brain and spinal cord of animals and humans. The rabies virus is spread through a bite or scratch with a rabid animal. The rabies virus always results in death without intervening treatment. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Kent County Health Department at 410-778-1361. Exposure to rabies can be prevented ● Do not approach, handle, or feed wild or stray animals. ● Have your dogs, cats, and ferrets vaccinated against rabies and keep the vaccinations up-to- date. ● Do not leave pets outside unattended or allow them to roam free. ● Cover garbage cans tightly and do not leave pet food outside; this may attract wild and stray animals. ● Teach children to stay away from wild animals or animals that they do not know.
