7 Amend Standing Rules to Registration Rules 39.4, 39.7 & 39.9 Regarding a Change of Registered Name

39.4 The names of cats may not be changed in any manner after they have been registered, except:

39.4.1 The correction of clerical errors in the recorder's office.

39.4.2 The addition of a cattery name as provided in ARTICLE EIGHT, 38.7, 38.8, and 38.10.

39.4.3 To re-register as Household Pets, TICA registered championship class cats may be registered pursuant to Show Rule 23.7.2.

39.4.4 A name change may be requested provided the Executive Office receives the request for a name change within 45 days (60 days in remote areas) from the date of issue of the initial Registration Certificate and the request is accompanied by the original Registration Certificate and the designated fee, which fee shall be determined by the Board of Directors. The name change will be approved only if there has been no previous transaction recorded for the cat by the Executive Office (i.e., show wins, lease agreement, or any transaction processed in the original name of the cat).

309.4.4 The name of a cat previously registered in another association may not be changed under any circumstances except for the addition of a cattery suffix in accordance with 38.7 and, if required, the use of a registry code in accordance with 309.9.3.1.

39.5 Names of cats and catteries may not be duplicated.

39.6 Second and third choice of names may be given on the application for registration form. Otherwise it may be necessary to return the application if the name chosen is not acceptable.

39.7 A cat's name, including cattery names and the word " of " may not exceed 35 letters, characters and spaces combined. 309.7.1 If a registry code (see 309.3.1) is used, then this is included in the 35 letters, characters or spaces limit. 309.7.2 The owner's name, address and city are not allowed in the name of the cat unless it is a TICA registered cattery.

39.8 Cats may not be named after an ancestor without written permission of the owner of the ancestor; a letter attesting to such permission is to be filed with the registrar.

39.9 Application for Registration. Each application for registration must fulfill one of the following:

39.9.1 Be made by submitting an individual application for registration of a cat of a registered litter issued by TICA (TICA blue slip).

39.9.2 Be accompanied by a minimum of 3-generation Certified pedigree (from another registry) of the cat for which application is being made and a photocopy of a registration certificate from that registry showing proof that this cat is owned by the person making the application and asking to be named the owner of this cat.

39.9.3 Be accompanied by a minimum three-generation pedigree, stating the color and pattern and the registry’s assigned registration number for each ancestor listed, except, if either the sire or dam is registered in the stud book (SB registration status code) of TICA, the ancestors of such sire and/or dam need not be shown on the pedigree. This pedigree must be signed by the breeder of the cat for which application is being made and include a statement that this pedigree is true and correct to the best of the breeder's knowledge, and a statement as to whether the cat may or may not breed. In addition, a photocopy of a registration certificate from the other registry is required, showing proof that this cat is owned by the person making the application and asking to be named the owner of this cat.

309.9.3 The name of a cat previously registered in another association may not be changed under any circumstances except for the addition of a cattery suffix in accordance with 38.7 and, if required, the use of a registry code in accordance with 309.9.3.1.

309.9.3.1 If the cattery name of a cat previously registered in another registry is not a TICA cattery name that is registered to the cat’s owner, then a registry code shall be added at the end of, and form part of, the cat’s name. Registry codes shall be comprised of a slash followed by a two-letter code identifying the registry. 309.9.3.2 The registry codes currently in use are: /CF - CFA, /FI - FIFe, /GC - GCCF, /ID - Independent, /WC - WCF. Additional unique codes may be assigned by the Executive Office as required.

8 Proposal to Amend the UCD Color Descriptions (Parkinson)

NOTE: It came to my attention attending a CEU event that the UCD has no description of sepia torties. Additionally, there are no descriptions of mink torties. Aside from Burmese and Tonkinese, we have several breeds which accept sepia torties and mink torties. These colors need to be described and included in the UCD.

Add the following colors to the UCD:

Blue Mink Tortie: Soft blue-grey to medium blue with darker blue points, mixed with light cream with light apricot to peach overtones of the cream mink.

Blue Sepia Tortie: Medium blue with fawn overtones mixed with light cream with light apricot overtones of the cream sepia..

Chocolate Mink Tortie: Buff cream to beige with points of tan, milk chocolate or coffee brown, mixed with red with pale peach beige to apricot overtones of the red mink.

Chocolate Sepia Tortie: Warm honey beige with overtones ranging from grey to pink mixed with apricot with melon-orange overtones of the red sepia.

Cinnamon Mink Tortie: Golden to amber body with an apricot cast, with points of light ruddy tan, soft muted burnt sienna or sorrel, mixed with red with pale peach beige to apricot overtones of the red mink.

Cinnamon Sepia Tortie: Warm honey to orange-tinged gold mixed with apricot with melon-orange overtones of the red sepia.

Fawn Mink Tortie: Light rosy sandy beige body with points pinkish buff, a light mocha or cocoa with pale lavender overtones, mixed with light cream with light apricot to peach overtones of the cream mink.

Fawn Sepia Tortie: Warm taupe or beige with pale lavender grey undertones mixed with light cream with light apricot overtones of the cream sepia.

Lilac Mink Tortie: Pale pearl to silvery grey body with points a light pewter to taupe with a pinkish lavender cast, mixed with light cream with light apricot to peach overtones of the cream mink.

Lilac Sepia Tortie: Bright silvery platinum grey with pink overtones mixed with light cream with light apricot overtones of cream sepia.

Seal Mink Tortie: Warm medium brown body with points of bitter chocolate to sable brown, mixed with red with pale peach beige to apricot overtones of the red mink.

Seal Sepia (Sable) Tortie: Rich, warm sable brown mixed with apricot with melon-orange overtones of red sepia.

9 Proposal to Amend Judging Contract (Rules)

Revise Judging Contract, paragraph 1, as follows: b. Lodging expenses at a hotel or motel of the Club's choice for the night prior to the Show and the day(s) and night(s) of the Show, as well as any night during which the judge is required to be traveling to and/or from the Show, including travel delays not the fault of the Judge.

Rationale: A judge should not bear the expense of additional hotel nights, etc, if travel is disrupted by delays not the fault of the judge.

Revise Judging Contract, paragraph 2, as follows:

2. The Club will reimburse to the Judge the following, in the event the Club has not arranged to pay these expenses directly: a. Transportation costs to and from the Show by air, rail, bus or automobile at the lowest available reasonable rate including any related fees, and on the airline of the Judge’s choice, provided such airline's pricing is competitive with other airlines flying into the airport designated by the club. The Club may not require nor request the Judge to travel on connecting flights when more direct flights are available, at times that are inconvenient to the Judge when more convenient itineraries are available, to travel on specific airlines, require that the Judge purchase tickets from a specific travel agent, or require that the Judge drive instead of fly to the Show if the Show is located more than 200 miles from the Judge’s residence;

Rationale: A judge should not be forced to take time off work, get less than a full night’s sleep, etc, to save a club a few dollars; flight schedules should be convenient for the judge.

4. The Judge will notify the Club at least 21 days prior to the Show of the amount to be remitted for transportation costs.

Add:

A club may not require that a Judge purchase travel or advance any anticipated expenses over the amount of $200.00 [is this a workable amount]. Within 14 days [discuss] of a request for an advance for travel expenses from a Judge, the Club shall forward funds in an amount at least as much as the Judge’s anticipated travel expenses, to the Judge. Should the Judge not receive such funds, the Judge may, upon notice to the Club, terminate this Agreement and be under no further obligation to the Club or to judge the Show. g. In the event the Show is cancelled or the Judge does not Judge the show, the Judge shall refund to the Club any unused advanced funds, less any change fees (if the Show is cancelled) within 14 days.

Rationale: As TICA expands and as more judges are requested to travel to distant locations, a mechanism should exist so that the burden of financing the advanced costs of a show does not rest on the shoulders of our judges.

Add to item 2 of information sheet: c. The show hotel is mile/show hall is miles from the airport. Anticipated travel time to and from the airport is minutes /hours.

10 Proposal to Amend Judging Program Regarding Wait Period for Reapplication (Anderson) Revised 05/22/2011

13 2010/2011 Chausie Breed Report

This year has been a year of educating the cat fanciers about the Chausie Breed. The Chausie Breed Committee (CBC) has taken upon themselves to show the public that these cats are an elegant loving breed and expand the public's knowledge of this. Breeders have united in a single cause to teach the general public the wonders of owning a Chausie cat.

Achievements

Breeders have been active in the promotion of the Chausie breed itself.

 The Chausie Breed Committee worked on an article together which was published in December of 2010 in the TICA Trend.  In addition to the TICA Trend article, the Chausie Breed Committee also produced an educational Chausie Breed calendar which was handed out.  Nail files with the Chausie Breed Committee logo and web address were handed out at shows with big gates, such as the show held in Sacramento, CA Expo last January 2011.  The Chausie Breed Committee updated their website to reflect the breed's growth and change with photos of current chausies. The website address is www.chausiebreedcommittee.com.  The Chausie Breed Committee produced a breed seminar at the TICA Annual in San Jose, CA in 2010.  Chausie breeders were interviewed for the upcoming article about Chausies in Cat Fancy due out this September 2011.  One of our Chausie breeders has designed a logo to be used on tee shirts, mugs, water bottles, etc… These items can be purchased at www.printfection.com/Chausieteeshirts.

The TICA brochure that Chausie breeders hand out was updated as well. It now features current cats and sports a modern design.

The Chausie Breed Committee is very proud to have a book published in Barnes and Noble Children's Checkerboard series. The book was written by Jill Wheeler and is called Chausie Cats. It reasonably describes the Chausie and features some wonderful photography by Helmi Flick. The book can be purchased at www.barnesandnoble.com/s/chausie-cats?store=book.

Chausies Registered

Using the reports sent to this committee at the end of the previous show season there were approximately 1120 Chausies registered with TICA. The Chausie Breed Committee expects this number to be higher as the year draws to a close as the numbers recorded are of cats registered through the end of December 2010. This includes a 30 percent increase of new registrations over the previous year.

Chausies at the Shows

Showing Chausies has been a challenge due to the fact that the number of shows has decreased all together. The lack of discretionary income of breeders has also made it difficult to travel to other regions to show their Chausies. This, in turn, created a "pocket" where breeders were not able to show at all.

14 Even with the economic hindrance, Chausie breeders still managed to make their presence known. During the 2010/2011 show season, seventeen individual Chausies were shown at eighteen shows in six regions including International. Chausie breeders took care to educate fanciers about the Chausie while attending these shows.

The Chausie Breed Committee

The Chausie Breed Committee has maintained an active E-Group list since the Chausies basic inception into TICA. This is where committee members discuss various aspects of the breed, feedback from the shows, and revisions to the goal of the breed. Our membership includes International Chausie breeders (from Russia and France) in addition to the domestic breeders. The Chausie Breed Committee recently updated their website and invite you to visit the website at www.chausiebreedcommittee.com to view photos and breed information.

Chausie Rescue

Chausie Rescue (established March 21, 2001) is still helping Chausies in need as well as other hybrid cats. Chausie Rescue maintains a website www.chausierescue.com where we can be contacted to help out Chausies in need of placement, or owners if they just have a few questions.

Chausie Rescue members also participate in a SW Rescue Alliance group that includes several SW Rescue organizations and volunteers of many breeds. This past year Chausie Rescue assisted Purebred Cat Rescue with rescue of 95 plus cats.

In Conclusion

In conclusion, Chausie Breeders continue to educate fanciers in various formats as well as mentor new breeders. We are starting to see fertility in our SBT males, thereby ensuring the continuity of characteristics of the Chausie breed. This allows the Chausie Breed Committee to predict the numbers of cats needed to finish out the last criterion for the breed’s advancement to champion status.

Kurilian Bobtail Breed Report for Inclusion at TICA Annual Board Meeting

Pursuant to Registration Rule 33.6.3.3 “The Preliminary New Breed Class Working Group Chair shall provide an electronic report on the status of the breed development and other issues relevant to the breed to the Genetics Committee, the Rules Committee, and the Executive Office for inclusion in the Agenda at least 60 days prior to each Annual Meeting.” I am here by providing such a report on the Kurilian Bobtails.

First and foremost the Kurilian Bobtail breed group petitions TICA’s Board of Directors to put the Kurilian Bobtail on the fast track to full Championship status.

The Kurilian Bobtail is a natural, native Russian breed of cat; the Kurilian Bobtail is more popular in Russia and the Northern European region than it is in the United States.

The Kurilian Bobtail is not a contrived breed, it is a natural breed still found in the wild on the Kuril Islands, it is also not a developing breed, outcrosses are not permitted and the look of the cat has been stable in breeding for at least two decades. The Kurilian Bobtail is in full championship status in three international associations: WCF since 1995; FIFe since 2004 and LOOF in September 2009. The standard by which the Kurilian Bobtail is judged is not different in any of the three associations in which it is accepted in championship status, and that same standard was presented to TICA in 2008. There were minor wording changes and variations in point totals made to conform to TICA requirements.

As far as the numbers of Kurilian Bobtails registered in TICA there are 230 and the report can be viewed as the following TICA document: kurilian_cat_reg_count.pdf

There have been 33 litters registered by a total of 13 different catteries, of those catteries only 5 are in the US, the balance are in Russia.

The Kurilian Bobtail is being shown extensively in the Northern European region as well as in the US. Since achieving PNB status May 1, 2008 there have been 69 unique cats shown; 30 of those were shown in the 2009-2010 show year alone. There were 22 shows in the 2009-2010 seasons where Kurilian Bobtails were exhibited, with 13 of those shows in Russia, one in Norway and 8 in the US. There have been a total of 231 shown.

The bulk of the Kurilian’s are in Europe where they have the option to show in other associations in championship, it is difficult to get them involved in showing TICA at this time. However, with accepted championship status, I feel that Europe will be the region that benefits’ the most. In The United States, more catteries are starting up and there is great growth potential here as well. It is especially difficult for them to register their cats with TICA because of the language barrier, currency exchange issues and misinformation about the use of other association pedigrees to document the cats. More have been registered with TICA as they have been registered for shows, but the restriction that PNB must be registered with TICA to be shown actually works against TICA because the breeders have the aforementioned difficulties.

We are in a worldwide monetary recession and registrations of litters and cats is down by TICA’s own documentation, now is not the time to insist on more litters and more registrations for a breed that is already in championship status in three other international associations.

I believe with the advancement of the Kurilian Bobtail to championship status, you will see in increase in litter registrations, cat registrations, cattery registrations and quite possibly new memberships.

I would like to thank the BOD for this opportunity to work with the Kurilian Bobtails and look forward to their championship status in TICA.

26 The Savannah Breed Report: 2010-2011

The Savannah has now been back in ANB for three years. Each year has shown improvement in type as progressive Savannah x Savannah breedings bring them increasingly closer to the Standard. They continue to be shown on a regular basis and receive consistent feedback from judges that they are seeing a unique breed emerging, rather than the bits and pieces of other breeds that have been seen in the past.

In March of 2010, after much debate and discussion of the pros and cons, the Savannah Breed Section members voted to request advancement to Championship status at the Winter meeting of 2011. Although the breed has met every criteria outlined by the TICA Registration Rules to Advance for over a year now, it was felt that more time was needed to continue to improve on type and consistency of the breed. After seeing the strides that have been made over the past couple of years it is felt by the majority of breed section members that by 2012 the Savannah will be ready to compete against other Championship breeds in the ring.

Litter Registrations

In 2010 there were 900 litters registered including 1,383 males and 1,497 females for a total of 2,880 kittens born. In 2011 as of the end of the TICA year there have been 317 litters registered including 479 males and 491 females for a total of 970 individual kittens. We were not provided the breakdown of how many were N-Foundation litters or P-Foundation litters this year, however we do know that 179 SBT litters were registered during this time.

Individual Savannah Registrations

In 2010 there were a total of 1025 Individual Savannahs registered, and so far in 2011 there have been 476 Savannahs registered. The breakdown is as follows:

2010

2 01T registered Savannahs 175 A registered Savannahs 109 SFoundation 21 PFoundation 45 NFoundation 347 B registered Savannahs 163 SFoundation 39 PFoundation 145 NFoundation 335 C registered Savannahs 104 SFoundation

206 B registered Savannahs 150 SFoundation 19 PFoundation 37 NFoundation 123 C registered Savannahs 45 SFoundation 54 PFoundation 24 NFoundation 91 SBT registered Savannahs

In analyzing the data from previous years there is a clear trend downward in the number of foundation cats registered, and as clear a trend upward of SBT Savannahs being registered. In fact, compared to 2009, there were almost 35% more SBT litters registered in 2010; and as of May, 2011 (which is the most recent data received) there were twice as many SBT litters registered as at this same time last year.

Savannahs in the Show Hall

During the 2010-11 show year there were 75 unique Savannahs shown at 61 different shows in 10 different regions, including two international regions. The numbers are slightly down as the year before there were 77 unique Savannahs shown as 73 different shows. Although these numbers are not too significant, there has been rumor that some have decided not to show again until the Savannah is a Championship breed. This may be why we see a slightly declining number, although other issues such as the economy and other hardships could certainly play a role as well.

Savannahs have been shown in the majority of TICA Regions. Although none were shown in the Southern Europe or South American regions in the past show year, they

28 have been shown in these regions in previous years. A Savannah has never been shown in Asia.

Savannah-Ramas

There were three Savannah-Ramas during the 2010-2011 show year, two were in held in the Mid-Pacific region, and one was held in the United Kingdom. The next planned Savannah-Rama is at the TICA Annual in Philadelphia, a region that has not previously hosted one of these events.

Savannah Breed Seminars

A Savannah Breed Seminar was presented at a judges CE conference last June in New Mexico. The Standard was reviewed, including the most recent changes that had just gone into effect as of the beginning of the show year May 1st. The Savannah was also presented in the Education Ring at the TICA Annual last September.

Savannah Rescue submitted by Brigitte Cowell

Savannah Rescue filed paperwork well over six months ago but is still waiting for 501c3 designation to be finalized. During the past year, we have added another core member to the group, Nikki La Crosse, a long-time Savannah pet owner and now new breeder. This gives us four active core members to share the load as our Rescue tasks grow.

During the past year only a handful of cats have passed through Rescue; we’ve been far busier with other tasks that we believe have reduced the number of Savannahs needing “Rescue”.

Firstly, we’ve added a new helpline to our Savannah Rescue website, www.svrescue.com so that owners can ask for “Savannah Advice”. Our hope is that by offering owners the option to reach out for advice when problems arise, we can prevent the situation escalating to the level where the owner gives up and wants the cat gone. We have had a number of people utilizing this new avenue, and problems with cat introductions and litterbox issues have been resolved. In serious cases, we have of course referred the owner to a professional animal behavior therapist.

Secondly, we created an additional Yahoo group called SavannahCatsAvailable. There already exist a number of cat classified lists, including ones specific for Savannahs such as SavannahKittens but these are mainly aimed at kittens. When people wish to rehome their adult cat it somewhat gets lost in cute kitten ads. We saw the need for a list specifically focused on adult cats that were being rehomed, either by the pet owner or by the responsible breeder that took back a cat from a pet owner who was unable to keep it. Savannah Rescue has always actively encouraged breeders to take back their

29 cats, hence we saw this as a way to further encourage this and help them find homes. We have found that the same people looking for a Rescued Savannah would also consider an adult rehomed pet as they have the same need for a great home. The rules for classifieds limit the amount of any adoption fee, require the cat to be over a certain age (so no young kittens) and be spayed/neutered before advertising.

Most of the cats placed on SavannahCatsAvailable Yahoo group likely would have ended in Rescue. We feel this alternate venue reduces stress for the cat by removing the interim foster home and reducing the changes to a minimum. Additionally we’ve found that owners like more input in finding their pet’s new home. Those that are simply uninterested in such involvement still request Rescue’s help as that is “easier” to hand it over than filter the offers from a posted ad.

Savannah Rescue has always been in a unique position in terms of cat rescue, we have way more applicants to adopt than cats becoming available, and this is likely very much due to the rapid growth and high interest in our breed. We are happy to pursue these alternative methods to keep it that way!

Savannah Breed Section Website

The Savannah Breed Section website continues to be an educational resource for those interested in Savannahs, those owned by Savannahs, and Savannah breeders alike. It sports an all-inclusive FAQ and a breeders directory, as well as other pertinent information.

We have had high hopes that we would be able to create a Members Only section which would require a secure login and could contain certain sensitive information such as fertility data in males, any health related issues, our unofficial polls, etc., but the web designer that was contracted last year has had several personal and family issues arise in the past several months so this was never built. However, a new web designer has agreed to take on the task and should have this up and running by summer's end.

HybridLaw Resource

HybridLaw website has now been in existence for about three years. It appears to be one of the most used sites to research hybrid laws and is utilized extensively by both breeders and potential buyers. This year it was updated so that the international laws of several different countries were added. We have also included more county and city laws as they are learned, and continue to add more information as it is gathered.

Savannah Fertility Data

30 Reports of fertility studies in the Savannah and other hybrid breeds has been discussed in the breed report in previous years. This year we are collating data from our breeders to study the prevalence of infertility in our males. The information is still being gathered but despite horror stories that have been told about serious infertility issues by some, so far the preliminary results are promising. We plan to present the final report to the TICA Board of Directors as part of our Advancement packet in January, 2012.

A Cat of a Different Color

The past year has been unusual in that the breed section members considered not just one but two potential additions to the Savannah's permissible colors and patterns. The first was the colorpoint, specifically the seal lynx color/pattern. It is felt by many that the 'snow' Savannah bears a much closer resemblance to the white Serval than the silver Savannah. This was a highly debated topic and was narrowly voted down after long discussion. What was probably the clincher was the realization that since we accepted solid, if we voted in seal lynx we would also be required to accept the seal point, which is a completely different looking animal and does not resemble any kind of Serval.

The other unusual proposition was the servaline pattern. This has also been debated in past years and was felt to be a variation of the spotted tabby pattern. However, after it was reviewed by several TICA and genetics experts we realized that the servaline pattern is most likely a heterogenous variation of a ticked pattern, something that most breed section members did not want to see introduced into the Standard.

In spite of being rejected by the majority of breed section members, there are still a small faction of breeders who dabble in the unique and unusual colors and patterns that have cropped up in our Savannahs. Both the 'snow' and servaline patterns have become quite popular with the pet owners. We recognize that there is an entire world of people outside of TICA that have a wide range of tastes and desires, so it is certainly acceptable to cater to their dreams.

However, for now when it comes to our Standard and our show quality Savannahs, the vast majority of breed section members continue to breed further and further down the SBT lines, while continuing to strive to maintain and improve on the looks of a domestic feline that resembles its distant ancestor, the Serval.

31 SERENGETI BREED COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT JULY 27,2011

Work continues on the development of the Serengeti Breed. More individuals are starting to breed and show Serengetis in various regions around the world. They are more popular in the UK than in the US.

A summary of our breed’s litter numbers and registrations includes the following: Total Serengeti litters since inception – 249 litters resulting in 965 kittens Total Serengetis registered since inception of the breed – 407 up from 385 a year ago. Thus, 42% of the kittens born were ultimately individually registered. Over the last 5 years there has been an average of 50 cats registered each year.

Cattery Summary: Since inception 55 recognized catteries have registered Serengetis

Showing: Serengetis were shown in 13 shows in 6 Regions during the last year – up from 6 shows in 4 Regions last year.

Publicity: Serengetis continue to be the subject of several articles in Cat Fancy and magazinesin Europe. We are also featured in Cats 101. We are going to be featured again in December 2011.

We have created a Power Point presentation for the Serengeti Breed which was presented at the Annual last fall. I have attached a copy for the Board.

Our two largest hurdles to advancing the breed continue to be keeping enough active breeders interested in developing the breed in order to meet the criteria to advance to the next level and showing enough cats for the judges to handle. I have now placed several show quality cats with individuals that plan to actively show them in various regions of the US. They are being shown in the UK and Europe in ever increasing numbers.

I would like to thank our breed advisor, Bobbie Tullo, for her unwavering support over the years and the TICA Board for continuing to allow us to develop this interesting and beautiful breed.

32 Sokoke Report

The Sokoke(SK) has seen progress in the latter part of 2010 to 2011,with promising new information regarding potential source stock from Africa and the addition of new Breeders, as well as an ongoing registration of cats.

Sokokes were shown Jan 16-17,Jul.11,2010,and Aug. 15,2010 in the UK. Jul 25,2010 in OH, and 2 kittens were shown May 22, 2011 in Largo FLA @ Skyway Cat Club Show, as well as 3(two kittens, one adult) shown Jun 19,2011 in Largo, FL @ Hurricane Cat Club Show.

We anticipate more showings in 2011 before year's end, as two new TICA member-breeders are starting off Programs with recently purchased mature male TICA reg. breeding age cats, one in WA. State(Aaliyah Baridi) (cattery name pending-TICA membership enrolled) the other in the Country of Estonia,(Sunbright Kairu)who is just now joining TICA and registering a TICA Cattery name to participate in the ESTICAT Club. She has a breeding pair now, and will cross-register her WCC female(TICA parents) with TICA. The logistics in getting her cat to her were very drawn out, resulting in 6 monthes of plans as air shipping right into Estonia was not possible.

The new member in WA. State will be acquiring a breeding age female from another member breeder in the USA, putting a producing breeding pair and new Cattery in WA by yr's end.

2011 saw five prior-born adults registered and three litters, totaling eight kittens, with four females and four males total in the litters.

I would like to point out that we have an ongoing numbers dilemma with several gens. of unregistered cats due to: International sales/lack of transfer in FiFE, and divorce. These cats have Known ancestry, are pure SK, and I have tried for monthes to resolve this situation by e-mail amongst several parties to no avail with parties in different countries, and am now resigned to 01T cats.

Purina has selected a Samburu Sokoke in the UK to film a commercial and be the face for a new food line for Alters. The commercial has wrapped and the cat behaved wonderfully, with the commercials and advertising to come out in Sept. 2011.

Through tracking the Diplomat, Mark Norton formerly in Nairobi who purchased cats from Jeannie Knocker and delivered two offspring to the UK, I have verified, through pictures, information regarding a captive colony at the Mt. Kenya Wildlife Conservatory, on a ranch in Kenya founded by William Holden and run by Stephanie Powers. As recent as 2009,captive bred Sokokes were being raised to return to the wild there.I have also learned of a Snake Farm/Zoo in Malindi, Kenya in Known Sokoke territory which may be the source of the stock at Mt. Kenya, that trapped Sokokes that came into the pens at feeding time and has captive bred them.

Mr. Norton told me he "saw several Sokoke- looking cats feral in and around Nairobi",and some of his cats escaped as well,so there may be a range much further inland than the short history of the Breed has claimed prior.

Mr. Norton stressed that "Jeannie Knocker was not the only person to rediscover the Sokoke Breed",however so far her New Line is the only one to have made it into the organized Cat Fancy, following the Original Old Line developed in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

33 The recent news of a Tanzanian wild-bred Sokoke, altered and owned by an American Dr. who runs a Medical Clinic there, has potential to change the Breed History and Future. His Swahili gardener brought him a kitten from an isolated village near the Big Crater, born to a tame mother owned by his parents, and sired by a wild father in the forest. With DNA now available thanks to the Cat Genome project I am having him send a cheek swab into UC Davis to verify Sokoke ancestry .The Dr. has displayed interest in starting a cattery in Tanzania, which would be of a gene pool quite a bit further away from the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, which has historically been thought to be the only range of the Breed, up until this year.

In a final twist, this Dr. in Tanzania is best friends with Richard Knocker,(Jeannie Knocker's son in Tanzania).Richard's wife, Julie transported the last of the Arabuko Cattery's New line to the USA, so is an excellent set of eyes to have to look at any new Tanzanian cats brought in.

34 Thai Breed Report for the TICA 2011 Annual Meeting Summary of Our First Year in Championship Page 1 of 2 Prepared by: Cristy Bird, Dr.P.H. Chair, TICA Thai Breed Committee June 17, 2011

I. Background. The TICA Board of Directors granted championship status to the Thai breed at the Winter Meeting in January, 2010. Our first show season in championship began May 1, 2010 and ended April 30, 2011. This is the first of three annual breed reports required after a new breed is granted championship. See Registration Rules 33.8.15.

II. Cats Registered. Each year a new championship breed must register at least 25 cats. In 2010, 123 Thais were registered in TICA. In only the first 4 months of 2011, 39 Thais were registered. The Thai breed has exceeded the requirement for cats registered. See attached file from the Executive Office (thai.pdf).

III. Cats Shown. Each year a new championship breed must show at least 10 unique cats in at least 3 regions. According to the Executive Office, at least 71 Thais were shown during the 2010-2011 show season across three classes. Of these, 46 Thais were registered, and 43 were unique individual cats. That is, 3 registered Thais were shown in more than one class. Most of the unregistered Thais were shown in the SA and ES Regions, which face the challenges of isolated regions.

Thais were shown in the following regions: EN, ES, MA, NE, SE, GL, SC, SW, and MP.

In lieu of attaching the file from the Executive Office of every cat shown and the date and location, I am providing a shorter and more digestible list (though the EO file is available on request). The list below shows cats we aren’t required to specifically tell you about, but we will anyway because we are proud of them. ;-)

We cannot easily determine how many Thais earned the title of champion. However, we know that at least 11 Thais earned either a regional award or the title of grand champion (or higher), and one additional Thai granded in May 2011, right after the 2010-2011 show year ended. Those cats are:

No. Name of Cat Region Class Title/Award 1 Pangaea Argemone of Sarsenstone SW Cats SGC RW

2 Lasjoyasthai Bebopalula EN Cats TGC

3 Falkenhoehe Pamina EN Cats QGC

4 Pienpeto Don Juan EN Cats GC

5 Falkenhoehe Nala of Cloudcity SW Cats GC

6 Lasjoyasthai Rock of Sarsenstone SW Cats GC

7 Sarsenstone Venn of Ringapurr GL Alters SGCA RW

8 Sarsenstone Bliss of Cortezcats SE Alters QGCA RW

9 Diabrillante Uncle Sam GL Alters SGCA RW

10 Pienpeto Floating Lotus EN Alters GCA

35 11 Siamxpress Storm of Sorcery SC Alters QGCA

12 Audax of Diplomaat SA Alters CHA RW 13 Alicats EyeoftheStorm GL Alters GCA (May 2011)

We conclude that the Thai breed has exceeded the requirements for showing this past show season. We showed more than four times as many cats as required, and we showed them in three times as many regions as required.

IV. Number of active Thai breeders. The table below lists the breeders who are current members of TICA, of the Thai breed section, and have either registered a litter of Thai kittens with TICA during the past 2 years or are about to register a litter of Thai kittens with TICA. This information was based on consultation with the breeders and on a report from the Executive Office dated 06/06/2011. Active Thai Breeders and Recent TICA Litter Registrations Name Thai Litter# TICA Cattery Name TICA Region 1. Amy Adolph SBP 082309 Evinea SE 2. Alice Billman 03P 011411 Alicats GL 3.

Marjorie Tennyson SBP 030711 Blackfootriver NW 18. Jenni Toivoniemi 03P 110810 Pienpeto EN 19. Carolyn Youngblood 03P 071009 Truetin GL

According to RR 33.8.15, we are required to maintain at least 5 active breeders in at least 3 regions. Even discarding the four breeders who did not manage to register a litter in the last 2 years, we still have 15 active breeders in 6 regions. We met the requirements for active breeders during the past year.

V. Conclusion.

In the first year in championship, the Thai breed has more than met the requirements for maintaining championship status.

33.6.1.4 Submission of an electronic Application for Advancement to Preliminary New Breed 120 days prior to the board meeting at which recognition is sought to each member of the Genetics Committee and Rules Committee. Following approval of the application by the Genetics Committee and the Rules Committee, the application will be submitted by the chair of the Rules Committee to the TICA Executive Office at least 60 days prior to the board meeting for inclusion in the agenda. Any comments of the Genetics Committee or Rules Committee must be included. Application must include the following:

33.6.1.4.1A letter of intent to apply for approval as a Preliminary New Breed, including a list of suggested people eligible to serve as Preliminary New Breed Working Group Chairperson and a list of the proposed Preliminary New Breed section members to be confirmed by the board.

33.6.4.2 A proposed breed standard with permissible outcrosses if any.

Description of the breed: The Khao Manee is a “new” breed in North America and Europe, but it is not new in Thailand, its country of origin. This ancient breed is documented in the 700 year old “Siamese Cat Poems” (Tamra Maew). In the poems it was called the “Khao- Plort,” an all-white cat with “mercury-colored” eyes, presumably light grayish-blue eyes. At some later point in the breed’s history, breeders in Thailand began to prefer all-white cats with odd-colored eyes. This cat was called the “Khao Manee,” which means “white gem.” In Thailand today, four great breeds mentioned in the Tamra Maew are still bred, and school children are taught about them as part of their cultural heritage. Those breeds are the

40 Wichienmaat (Siamese), Suphalak (Burmese and Tonkinese), Korat, and the Khao Manee. Hence, the Khao Manee is the only one of the surviving great cat breeds of Thailand that is not yet recognized by Western registries. The Khao Manee is a shorthaired cat of foreign type, dominant white in color. Its eyes can be blue, green, yellow, gold, or copper, but odd-colored eyes are preferred. It is medium in size and boning. The head is a modified wedge head. The forehead is long and flat. The ears are slightly long with pointy tips, but also somewhat narrow from base to tip, and they are set slightly more vertically than horizontally. The Khao Manee therefore looks like what it is, an Asian breed from the same race as the Korat and Thai, but with a distinctive combination of head type, ear set and shape, coat color, and eye color. In addition to its unique appearance, the Khao Manee has an endearing personality. It is a lively, playful, intelligent cat with a sense of humor.

33.1.4.3 A proposed breeding program including proposed category: We have been importing native-bred Khao Manees from Thailand into North America and Europe. We would like to establish a gene pool for the breed based on Khao Manees from Thailand and using as outcrosses native domestic shorthaired cats from Thailand. We oppose the use of cats in the breed that are not native to Thailand, as they are unlikely to have the unique personality and other traits. The Khao Manee is a breed derived from the native cats of Thailand. It is not just a breed for white, shorthaired cats. We would like the Khao Manee to be classified as a Native Breed

33.6.1.4.4 A processing fee of $50

33.6.1.5 A Notice of Intent to Apply for Advancement to Preliminary New Breed status must be published in the TICA Trend at least 120 days prior to the meeting at which the application for advancement will be heard, and which invites comments about the breed to be forwarded to the Executive Office.

Date submitted for publication to the Trend: Jan-Feb 2011

The meeting of the Board where application will hopefully be considered: summer Meeting, Sept, 2011

CCCA REPORT TO WCC 2010-11

DELEGATE: Mrs Cheryle U’Ren

Since entertaining you all in Melbourne in May 2010, the CCCA has continued to develop its procedures and to take further actions to create a greater degree of unity between the various member bodies. Our intention is to make it easier for members to pass from one organisation to the other, and to facilitate uniformity in the rules governing the classification, judging and breeding of cats. Actions furthering this intent include:

 Acceptance of a comprehensive document covering the training of our Judges: MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR JUDGES  Ongoing development of a comprehensive list of all breeds and colours recognised including allowable outcrosses, and any other breeding restrictions  Acceptance of Siamese exhibiting the white patching gene  Ongoing development of uniform regulations governing all the breeds (long and short haired, with the same type standard (“Siamese” type) in relationship to the status of offspring of matings within the group  A proposal to judge the Bengal in a number of categories which reflect their underlying genetic similarity is at present being considered by all member bodies (For both Marbled and Spotted Bengal: Brown, sepia, mink, lynx point, silver, silver sepia, silver mink, silver lynx point. These names would definitely reflect better both the descriptions of each colour as in the current standard, and leave open the possibility of future subdivisions into specific colour classes eg seal sepia, chocolate sepia and cinnamon sepia.)

In the current climate of a shrinking breeder base, and considerable societal concerns about inherited defects in pedigree animals, the likelihood of problems becoming more common as populations shrink is being addressed through the use of DNA testing, where available. In order to make the results both verifiable, and transferable between member bodies, the following protocol is currently under discussion by CCCA member bodies: DNA PROTOCOL AIM Verifiable DNA tests which create an audit trail PREAMBLE DNA tests are becoming more widely used. There is no obligation to place information in the public domain, but if there is any possibility that the information may be used for; 1. registration purposes, 2. to contribute to dispute resolution, 3. to demonstrate compliance with Legislation; then the following protocol as set out below must be followed.

84 The CCCA and its member bodies recommend that these protocols should be followed when conducting any DNA testing. Only the original Laboratory certificate will be accepted for the results to be included on the database.

Collection Protocol Steps  Contact a DNA Testing Laboratory and obtain a test kit and submission forms.  Select a veterinary surgery to conduct the test. (a system is being developed of accrediting non- veterinary collectors).  Ensure cat/ kitten is micro chipped.  Take the cat/kitten, testing kits and any other necessary paperwork to the collection point.  The collector will scan the microchip, record the number on the paperwork- including registered name and number. The Collector will perform all tasks as requested on paperwork – including signing and dating.  The DNA sample will be collected by the vet to ensure there is no contamination of the swab.  The swab should be allowed to dry in a non-contaminated area.  Once dry, the swab is packaged by the collector, sealed and posted from the Collection point (not given back to the owner).

It needs to be remembered that Victoria, from whence these suggestions have originated, is, as yet the only State which actually has incorporated within its legislation (POCTA, Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act) legal obligations on breeders to ‘not knowingly breed animals with a potential genetic defects’, and to inform their buyers about any potential problems. The Organisations to which the breeders belong are also liable for, potentially, very stiff fines if they fail to instigate regulations to fulfil the requirements of the Act.)

In the interests of harmony, and reflecting concern for both breeds and breeders, the CCCA has recognised ANCats (Waratah) pedigrees, (where they are verifiable on their data bases), enabling kittens and stud services to be shared. ANCats members are also welcome to exhibit at all CCCA National Shows, as was the case at the show held in conjunction with the CCCA National Show held in conjunction with the WCC meeting in May last year. We have all come to recognise that the pressures from legislators, lobbying groups and welfare agencies necessitates that we drop as many of our old feuds as possible, in the interests of what we all love best – pedigree cat breeding.

All CCCA member bodies would like to extend their sincere best wishes to the WCC colleagues for a most enjoyable, informative and successful meeting in South Africa.

REPORT TO WORLD CAT CONGRESS – JULY 2011

The last 12 months has indeed been a period of instability and insecurity for the NZCF – the infrastructure of the NZCF has been severely affected by the devastating September & February earthquakes in Christchurch. We have Executive Council Members, Officials and Members who have lost not only their homes, but their livelihoods and in some cases family members. Although our South Island Members are known for their resilience with every aftershock comes the insecurity for the families and of course the concern for their beloved city.

Without the generosity of financial assistance (for the welfare of affected cats) or messages of goodwill from all the World Cat Congress Members NZCF would have been in an even more vulnerable position. A number of Clubs based in the earthquake zone have cancelled shows, and unfortunately our National Show was also cancelled not only because of the safety issues but also for the loss of the venue. The role over affect has been the loss of considerable income to the organisation – which in turn has meant that the Executive Council has had to revisit the 5 year strategic plan.

NZCF Reviews:

 2010 AGM – Adopted a new constitution which is supported by General Rules & Policies documentation.  National Annual Awards System – AGM 2011 directed a review of the current 6 highest scoring rings counting towards annual awards. It was the general consensus of the membership that this system does not encourage exhibitors to support the smaller shows. It is hoped that this will be completed in time for 2012 show season  HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) $3500 donated to Massey University towards the collection of samples for a breed specific study ‐ Siamese & Oriental.  Ragdoll Breed Group Submission to Executive Council – “That the mandatory DNA testing of all entire registered Ragdolls for the unique gene identified as a major causative factor in the development of HCM, and that such mandatory testing is a prerequisite for all new registrations of Ragdolls in NZ.  Breed Standards Advisory Committee – asked to investigate the incidence of Osteochondrodysplasia (FOCD) in Scottish Folds.  The EMS Breed Code System – the membership survey is to be repeated  Health & Safety – Officer has been appointed and a full review of the process procedure is under way.

WCC Agenda Discussion: (submitted by NZCF)

1. Retaining members/increasing membership

NZCF has experienced declining membership over the past several years. We have individual membership & only breeders are required to be members. There is one other registry in this country (CATZ Inc).

A number of factors may be contributing to declining membership  Cost factors – economic downturn – reduced disposable income relative to cost of living  Fewer breeders overall – we think  Fewer younger people developing interest in showing or breeding – little ‘new blood’  Does the organisation respond to the needs and wishes of its membership?

Are other associations experiencing decline in membership? If not, what are they doing that we are not? If they are, what ideas can delegates come up with to halt the decline and attract new members in?

86 2. Regulation of the breeding of cats with harmful genetic conditions

Cat Associations face a new challenge as it becomes increasingly possible to test or screen reliably for harmful conditions that are passed on genetically. Such conditions are present in many cat breeds. Well known examples are PKD in Persians, & HCM in Ragdolls.

Members of the public believe (in most cases incorrectly) that cat associations exercise some role in regulating the breeding of cats with harmful conditions. To date however the NZCF, in common with most other cat associations, has generally left it to individual breeders to decide whether or not they screen for such conditions and whether or not they breed with cats that have such conditions. While many breeders are responsible and use whatever tests or screening protocols are available to prevent or minimise the risk of passing on harmful conditions, unfortunately it is also the case that many are not and do not. As a result  Some breeds risk developing a reputation for having specific problems  All pedigree cats may become discredited to some degree (as has happened with dog breeds)  Both of the above are harmful for cat associations and their breeder members  The unethical behaviour of breeders who choose not to test is not challenged or stopped – this promotes a culture in which it is considered OK to choose not to test  Cats are produced with conditions that will shorten their lives and/or cause them pain and suffering  Owners of those cats have the distressing experience of seeing ttheir pe suffer and/or losing them prematurely

All of the above appear to be compelling arguments for cat associations to impose rules about what testing is required of breeding cats and in what circumstances affected cats can be bred from .

However it can also be argued that to impose such rules is an unacceptable infringement on the liberty and freedom of choice of breeders. Proponents of this view believe that it is a case of ‘Buyer Beware.’ Buyers should research breeds before buying and check for themselves whether breeders are testing for harmful conditions, including requiring documented proof of claims of testing.

This argument ignores the fact that the NZCF along with all other cat associations already imposes many rules around breeding, selling of kittens, and showing including minimum ages, requirements for vaccinations etc.

We also do not permit Fold to Fold matings for the specific reason that these are known to risk producing homozygous individuals with a crippling and painful condition (i.e. osteochondrodysplasia). This precedent suggests that we can and should consider regulating other breedings that can produce harmful conditions.

Recently we have been approached by the Ragdoll breed section here in NZ with a request that we implement a graduated regulatory programme to eliminate HCM in breeding Ragdolls (and hence in Ragdolls generally) over the next two years. This programme would require entire cats to be DNA tested for the HCM gene. Homozygous cats would not be permitted to be bred from at all. Heterozygous cats would be permitted to be bred from up until a specified date (to permit breeders to obtain offspring free of the HCM gene from those parents). After that date only cats DNA tested clear of the HCM gene could be bred from. The EC has yet to consider this proposal.

 What are other associations doing about this?  What do people think should be done? For any associations that are regulating breeding of cats that can be tested for harmful genetic conditions, how are they implementing this?  Is the DNA status of the cat’s public knowledge? Or only available to the owner of the breeding cat?

3. Judges Affiliation – is there any protocol in place between WCC Affiliates on the best practice when a Judge moves from one Affiliate to another. Should there be a protocol to cover this?

NZCF are pleased that we are able to attend the WCC in South Africa and sincerely hope it is a productive and valuable meeting.

Report to the 2011 WCC This year marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of ACF Inc as a umbrella organisation for the formerly independent state and territory bodies which until that point had all operated in relative isolation. That landmark first meeting changed the face of the Australian cat fancy forever.

In 2010 we acquired a new President, Prof. Diana Davis, who has proven herself most effective in the chair. The ACF Judges’ Guild also has a new President, Dr Isobel Johnstone, who stepped in and chaired the 2010 Guild meeting so effectively.

Our newest affiliate, Cats Victoria Inc, (granted full membership by unanimous vote at our recent AGM), has been holding regular shows and in January achieved the necessary status of recognition by DAMIC as an ‘applicable association’ in Victorian law, which fact has been gazetted. We had hoped that as discussed at last year’s WCC, such status would remove the impediment to recognition by CCCA, but this has yet to happen. We look forward to the time when ‘open doors’ can prevail. A team of experienced ACF show management personnel from all over the country is combining to run the 2012 National weekend in Melbourne in support of our fledgling member body.

As ever, exhibitors from all over our continent converged for the ACF National AGM and show weekends, which, since the last our last WCC report, have been hosted in Perth, Western Australia (’10) and in Brisbane, Queensland, recently. Judges from various overseas registries and continents have officiated along with a team of ACF judges. A number of new judges have been admitted to the ACF panel. Established ACF judges continue to flex their wings and officiate in NZ, S E Asia, South Africa and Europe for fellow members of WCC bodies, with two more making their FIFe debut later in the year.

At the 2010 AGM, Ocicats in classic pattern were accepted without challenge status as Ocicat AOV (“Any other Variety”), 'hybridisation' colours and patterns are now acceptable in Manx and Amber was recognised in Norwegian Forest. White Orientals were recognised in blue, green or odd eyed forms. Ocicats were removed from the list of breeds in which a bump on the nose is undesirable. This year, while subject of ratification, ACF recognised the ‘Australian Bombay’.

The already diminishing cat fancy has suffered further impact in states where legislation is making it difficult to pursue our hobby and new restrictions and requirements by a major domestic airline could affect the fancy in some serious and adverse ways: flying interstate for shows or for stud will be not only extremely expensive but also wrapped neatly in a large amount of red tape. It’s to be hoped that the latter doesn’t have a deleterious effect on the gene pool of our breeds. It may encourage experimentation with artificial insemination, but unfortunately, we have not evolved protocols for that eventuality. However, it is to be anticipated that ACF might look at adopting as a starting point the paper presented to the 2008 WCC.

The horrendous flooding in Queensland (and elsewhere) early in the year was rapidly followed by Cyclone Yasi, while bushfires roared on the opposite side of the continent. This is, indeed, ‘a wilful, lavish land’! However, not even such disasters could thwart the spirit of the cat fancy and this year’s National (the 39th) was hosted in Queensland by QICC. Sadly, our colleagues ‘across the ditch’ (where the NZCF National was to take place in ‘quake-ridden Christchurch) were not so fortunate and were compelled to cancel their show. Flooding subsides but those after-shocks seem never-ending.

ACF wishes all fellow WCC member bodies a year of harmony and growth and thanks SACC for the warmth of its very special South African hospitality.

SACC ANNUAL REPORT TO WCC 11 July 2011

The last 12 months saw a number of highlights for SACC with the WCC and COTY weekend from 8 to 11 July 2011 as the cherry on the top. It will be an honour to host the delegates of the different WCC affiliates in South Africa.

Registrations showed a 6% increase, although the numbers at shows in some of our provinces declined dramatically. Only in Gauteng show numbers showed a major increase on the last 3 years.

No new breeds were accepted and the American Wirehair and British Longhair are still on preliminary status. It seems if the breeders that applied for acceptance for these breeds are not interested anymore and these breeds will remain on this status indefinitely. An application for Turkish Angora was made and the process to accept has started in 2011.

On a negative note, South African cat lovers were targeted in several internet scams in the last 12 months. Websites of local breeders and even in Australia were hacked and kittens were offered that do not exist. Once a deposit has been paid the transaction is never concluded. The origin of these scams was traced to Nigeria, India and as far as China. As investigations are costly and quite involved, SACC’s role remains continuous education to the public in general.

SACC keeps on getting threats from members from other organization in South Africa and these are addressed on an ad hoc basis.

The two year term for me and Clare will come to an end in October 2011 and we both will not stand in the same positions for the next two years. It was an honour to serve on WCC for the last four years. We will communicate soon afterwards who will replace us on WCC.

Have a safe trip to Africa and looking forward to see you all again.

World Cat Congress Report 2011

The last year has been an incredibly tumultuous year for the GCCF, it celebrated its 100th birthday and a great deal has happened in the centenary year, with a vast number of changes taking place.

GCCF ceased to be merely a hobby club, registering body we became a company limited by guarantee and as such are now registered at Company’s House, though technically the business continues much the same as before, clubs are now members a opposed to affiliates, we have also had quite a lot of interest from other countries who have shown an interest in becoming members of GCCF, the future could well see GCCF International.

There was the launch of a new logo and straplines, the original logo though very stylised was considered not to be strong enough to promote us as a cat organisation, the new logo and colour palette hopefully making our organisation more memorable to those outside of it. Our new main strapline ‘Giving Cats Care Forever, promoting our intention to promote cat care both to those involved with GCCF and also the general public, with the intention to promote the GCCF’s charity ‘the Cat Welfare Trust’, this is currently working on attempts to identify genetic anomalies.

This year also saw the launch of the junior exhibitors program, known as ‘YES’ translated as the Young Exhibitors Scheme, this has been well received and allows young exhibitors to demonstrate their knowledge of their breed by talking them through with a qualified mentor judge in accordance with the SOP’s. The knowledge these youngsters have shown is admirable.

There were no new breeds given recognition this year, but it did see the progression of some of those already recognised, Sphynx achieved Championship status and have now already achieved their first champion. There were also a number of colour progressions to Championship status in various breeds. At out last meeting in June it was agreed that Shaded Silver Persians should be granted Championship status after being so long at Assessment status & would compete in the same class as Chinchillas.

My term as chair came to end having served the maximum 3 year term, June was the annual electoral meeting and saw our new chair elected, though elected annually our system only allows a maximum term of 3 years as chair, though we may be elected to the board of directors (formerly the Executive Committee) on an on‐going basis. The current Chair is Helen Marriott‐Power and Vice Chair Steve Crow. The board of directors with one change remains the same.

Our thoughts have been very much with those who have suffered such harrowing conditions over the last couple of years, we cannot profess to comprehend how many fellow fanciers have suffered at the other end of the world, particularly those in Australia and New Zealand who have both had such terrible losses. It is hoped that the coming years will prove more settled and allow them to rebuild what has been so tragically lost.

We are very proud to be part of the World Cat Congress and sincerely thank the SACC as hosts for the excellent hospitality that is being afforded to members of the WCC for 2011. We very much look forward 90 with a great deal of anticipation and enthusiasm to playing host in 2013 and hope we be able to emulate the hosts hospitality of previous years.

There has only this week been some excellent news, very soon quarantine restrictions re blood testing for anti‐rabies will be removed, allowing straight forward Pet Passport scheme to operate, putting us on a par with the rest of Europe allowing travel for pets.

This will potentially open up our shows to those exhibitors from overseas who wish to exhibit at our shows. We are currently making efforts to allow those exhibits comply phenotypically but who currently do not comply with the genetic integrity required to compete, it is hoped to have these in place very soon and certainly before 2013 when we shall be hosting the World Cat Congress.

Hopefully this could be in place to allow qualification at limited shows to enable qualification for our Supreme show which is held in November every year.

On a personal level may I say how much I am looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting those that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting. In closing may I wish all delegates and bthe host clu a very successful show, seminar and congress and wish you all a very safe journey, both to and from the event.

Report to the World Cat Congress July, 2011

Membership and Registrations. TICA’s membership continued to grow last year along with a slow growth in registration activity. Total shows increased in the last show season with a small drop in average entries per show. We find a significant variation from show to show, however, with population dense areas feeling less impact. Exhibitors are simply tending to be less willing to travel.

Show Season 2010‐2011 BEST CAT. For the third year in a row, TICA’s BEST CAT is from Europe. This year it is a beautiful Abyssinian from France. Our South American Region is also proud to recognize its first international winner. TICA’s Annual Awards Banquet will be held Saturday, September 3, in Philadelphia.

Meet The Breeds. TICA is partnering with AKC for the Meet The Breeds event this November in New York City. www.meetthebreeds.com. We are really excited to have the opportunity to represent the cat fancy this year and will be following in the footsteps of the great job CFA has done before us. The event is expected to draw 30‐40,000 visitors.

TICA University. TICA launched a new website, TICA University, www.ticau.com. The website is intended to be fun and informative and to reach out tot ca lovers. Through its various “schools” – including Nursing, Science, Gym, Library, Business, Psychology, History – there is offered an ever growing amount of informative and educational information about cats. There is also a Kids area where children to make fun things for their cats, download coloring books, and watch tvideos abou cats.

At the moment, our demographics indicate that the bulk of our visitors to the site are over the age of 45. Since the site was first introduced to our membership, we suspect that our demographics currently reflect more our membership than the general public we are trying to reach. We are exploring ways to expand the general interest in the site.

Online Voting. Since we are a membership organization with members in numerous countries, our Board voted to allow online electronic voting . This fall will be our first effort to conduct balloting, online, through a contractor, VoteNet. By eliminating the vagaries of numerous mail systems around the world and making it more convenient, we are hopeful that this new system will be popular with our membership AND save us money. If our experience is of interest to any of you, please let me know and I will be happy to answer questions.

Respectfully submitted, Vickie Fisher, President
