SACCF Spectators April 2011.Pdf Southern Alberta Calgary Cat Fanciers This directory and advertising supplement has been published to: • provide informative information on the various breeds in order to assist the general public when selecting that new ‘furry friend’ • furnish a ready reference for Pet Specialty shops and Veterinary clinics when queried about the different breeds and their availability in our immediate area • make available a ready guide on how to select your new family member and how to care for your new kitten • alert the public on upcoming cat shows, along with information on what to expect when you get there in order to make the show a more enjoyable experience The breed information has been assembled from a number of areas which include “The Legacy of the Cat” by Gloria Stephens, “Eyewitness Handbooks - Cats” by David Alderton and the “TICA Breed Standards”. As well, much information was obtained on the Internet. We would like to thank our advertisers and the many breeders who have shown an interest by participating in this issue - without this participation we could not take on this project. This Guide was compiled by the members of the Southern Alberta Calgary Cat Fanciers . www.calgarycatshow.com Page 1 www.CalgaryCatShow.com Southern Alberta Calgary Cat Fanciers What is happening in the Show Hall The show hall is organized into three main areas : 1. Vendors area. This is arranged around the outside walls of the arena and at the edge of the benching areas. Vendors offering all things “cat” are at the show. They have a wide selection of beds, scratching posts, pet food, handcrafted cat toys, etc. for purchase. Feel free to stop and ask questions about the products. 2. Benching Area This area is the rows of decorated shelters and cages in the middle of the arena. The exhibitors display their cats here when they are not being judged. These shelters and cages are the cats’ “home” while at the show. 3. Judging rings . Also located along the outside of the benching area. This is where the judges evaluate the championship cats, kittens, alters and household pets. There are chairs in front of the judging tables and spectators are welcome to sit and watch judges handle the cats. Questions are welcome in the “final” rings when judges are describing the merits of the cats and awarding the plaques, but would be distracting during the actual judging process. The best guide: If the judge is concentrating and not saying anything, everyone else should remain quiet. Purr ‘n Learn Booth This booth hosted by club member, Wendy Huppe, has free information pamphlets. Wendy will answer questions on behavior and demonstrate cat care, including nail clipping and tooth brushing. All questions are welcome. What the “numbers” mean. Numbers on cards in the Benching Area and Judges rings indicate the cats’ classification. Numbers on pink cards are for females and blue cards are for males 1 - 50 Long hair pedigreed kittens (age 4 months up to 8 months) 51- 99 Short hair pedigreed kittens (age 4 months up to 8 months) 101 – 199 Longhair cats. These pedigreed cats are able to breed; they have not been neutered 201 - 299 Short hair cats. These pedigreed cats are able to breed; they have not been neutered 301 – 350 Longhair alters. These pedigreed cats have been neutered or spayed 351 – 399 Shorthair alters. These pedigreed cats have been neutered or spayed 401 – 451 Longhair Household Pets. 451 – 499 Shorthair Household Pets Please remind your children to walk quietly and speak with indoor voices in the show hall. Running and loud noises frighten the cats. Ask permission before touching any cats – hands can spread disease.

    Selkirk Rex Breed Seminar Presented by the TICA Selkirk Rex Breed Committee © Selkirk Rex Breed Seminar Agenda: • Selkirk Rex Breed Origins & History - (20-years worth) • Status & General Description - (what we see) • Genetics - (simple stuff, maybe) • Breed Standard - (the perfect Selkirk – where is it?) • Examples & Comparison - (the good & needs improvement) • Exhibition & Handling of Kittens/Cats/Alters - (the fun stuff) • Grooming & Showing - (our secrets - Judges “please leave”) • The Future, Emphasis, Problems, Changes - (in our opinion) • Contributors – (many thanks to those who helped) Selkirk Rex Breed Origins The Breed began in 1987 from a shelter cat mom in Sheridan, Montana and one of her kittens. A local breeder (Jeri Newman) was asked to look at the “strange” kitten which exhibited a slight curl on the coat. Jeri, who had an interest in feline genetics adopted the kitten and later bred the kitten to one of her cattery Persians, Photo Finish of Deekay. On July 4th, 1988 the year-old “kitten” by then named Miss DePesto of NoFace delivered 6 kittens. Surprisingly, 3 of the 6 kittens had a curly coat and the other 3 were straight-hair kittens. Thus the beginning of a Breed. This 50% ratio of curly offspring is exactly what would be expected from a dominant gene for curl. This created even more interest in exploring the development of a new breed based on the curly-coat trait. Jeri selected one of her own family names, “Selkirk”; with the same theme as the Cornish and Devon Rex regional names, the Selkirk mountains and a stream by the same name were nearby.

  • Tyrosinase Mutations Associated with Siamese and Burmese Patterns in the Domestic Cat (Felis Catus)
    doi:10.1111/j.1365-2052.2005.01253.x Tyrosinase mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese patterns in the domestic cat (Felis catus) L. A. Lyons, D. L. Imes, H. C. Rah and R. A. Grahn Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, USA Summary The Siamese cat has a highly recognized coat colour phenotype that expresses pigment at the extremities of the body, such as the ears, tail and paws. This temperature-sensitive colouration causes a ÔmaskÕ on the face and the phenotype is commonly referred to as ÔpointedÕ. Burmese is an allelic variant that is less temperature-sensitive, producing more pigment throughout the torso than Siamese. Tyrosinase (TYR) mutations have been sus- pected to cause these phenotypes because mutations in TYR are associated with similar phenotypes in other species. Linkage and synteny mapping in the cat has indirectly sup- ported TYR as the causative gene for these feline phenotypes. TYR mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese phenotypes are described herein. Over 200 cats were analysed, representing 12 breeds as well as randomly bred cats. The SNP associated with the Siamese phenotype is an exon 2 G > A transition changing glycine to arginine (G302R). The SNP associated with the Burmese phenotype is an exon 1 G > T transversion changing glycine to tryptophan (G227W). The G302R mutation segregated concordantly within a pedigree of Himalayan (pointed) Persians. All cats that had ÔpointedÕ or the Burmese coat colour phenotype were homozygous for the corresponding mutations, respectively, suggesting that these phenotypes are a result of the identified mutations or unidentified mutations that are in linkage disequilibrium.

  • Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (Pkdef) in Cats
    Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency About the disease Pyruvate kinase deficiency is an inherited disease of Abyssinian and Somali cats. Pyruvate kinase is a red blood cell enzyme important in red blood cell energy metabolism. Therefore, if this enzyme is lacking, a haemolytic anaemia can result. However, the anaemia may only be mild and intermittently detectable, or may not become evident until the cat is older. A rapid severe life-threatening anaemia can also develop. The disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, so only cats with two copies of the defective gene are affected. Carrier cats are clinically healthy but can pass the defective gene to their offspring. About the test The Molecular Diagnostic Unit offers a genetic test to diagnose autosomal-recessive pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKDef) in cats. This genetic test is a PCR-based pyrosequencing assay that can reliably distinguish between Affected, Carrier and Normal cats. It is highly recommended that all Abyssinian and Somali cats used for breeding are tested for the defective gene, as well as cats of these breeds showing signs of haemolytic anaemia. For Somali cats, testing for PKDef is now compulsory if cats are to be registered on the GCCF (Governing Council of the Cat Fancy) active register and used for breeding. Please note: The test detects the Normal and Mutant PKDef genes found in domestic cats. The test also works in Bengal and Savannah cats, and detects the Asian Leopard Cat or Serval gene if present (i.e. in F1/F2 cats). There is no point in testing Asian Leopard Cats and Servals for PKDef since the mutant gene came from the domestic cat population.

  • Breeding Policy
    PERSIAN LONGHAIR BREED ADVISORY COMMITTEE Breeding Policy SUPREME UK OG & IMP GR CH GEMKIN STARWIND OVERALL SUPREME EXHIBIT 2012 & 2013 CONTENTS Introduction Origins of the Breed Pattern Groups Genetic Make-up Breeding System Inbreeding Genetic Defects Grooming Introduction With the formation of a consolidated BAC for Persian Longhairs, the requirement to pro- duce a breeding policy has given the BAC the opportunity to review the Registration Poli- cies and Standards of Points for Persians. 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.
