PURE SIAMESE. 4 PRESIDENTS REPORT The 2015 year is a year to reflect on its changes and achievements with the following the more notable : Penny & Grant Richardson did not seek re-election to committee, which we sincerely thank both of them for many years of dedication & work to uphold the values & functioning of our Society; Sharryn Hilton accepted the Secretary, Show Secretary and FELIS Editor roles with enthusiasm, trepidation and many pleas for assistance in each of these vital roles; Sharon Black accepted to be our Treasurer and Social Media Moderator bringing with her new ideas that would hopefully assist in improving awareness of SCS; Peter Gunczy continued in his role of Webmaster and continued to enlighten our committee on new and different ways of reaching a Siamese & Cat loving audience via the electronic media; Christine Gunczy who although not enjoying the best of health during 2015 continued as Kitten Registrar and together with husband Peter managed the Kitten Availability data on our website. Valda McDermott joined (was enticed, encouraged) to join the Committee for 2015 bringing her decades of Siamese experience and expertise; John Ferguson as the elected Vice President was my backup and sounding board with matters of Constitution, business, promotion and also achieving some sponsorship for our 2016 show; Our aged and weather worn trailer underwent a restoration after 33 years ensuring its roadworthiness for many more years; Society’s property (cages, trestle tables, etc) relocated from Trilian homestead (Freemans Reach) to Fullcircle Farm (Wilton). Our Constitution underwent review with proposed amendments for consideration and decision at today’s Special general meeting; Facebook page created and now moderated by Sharon Black furthering our exposure; Mobile website nearing completion by our webmaster; After many years a complete review of our Society’s Fees and Charges was completed by committee; Working with the team above has been a rewarding one with all the requirements and challenges presented to committee dealt with in a friendly and professional manner and at all times democratically. Congratulations and thank you to those members who enjoyed show success and as importantly exhibited and promoted our Siamese breed. Keep up the good work in 2016 as it is well proven that our Siamese remains a popular breed with sales of our kittens emanating from show exposure. 5 PRESIDENTS REPORT Special congratulations to the following members for a job well done in 2015: Astraxalotte Cattery (Lee and Cheryl Gallagher) with multiple placings Garthowen Cattery (Chris Wiseman) Trilian Cattery (Grant & Penny Richardson) Christernee Cattery (Peter & Christine Gunczy) Kalinya Cattery (Tony & Bev Hurry) Lookatmese Cattery (Jay & Amie Hobbs) Lealjo Cattery (Joan Wright) Such exposure now finds SCS with members (breeders) in nearly all States of Australia (NSW, QLD, SA, WA, TAS) as well as a reciprocal arrangement with CANT to exchange copies of FELIS with their magazine. Let’s keep up the good work and aim to have a full member in each State and Territory this year. Well done to all involved with our March 2015 show which found its committee with a short time to achieve a lot. To each and everyone involved with this event I sincerely thank you both as its Show Manager and your President. Our 59th All Breeds Show on February 27th at the Picton Shire Hall is well underway with its planning and in particular I must thank Sharryn Hilton for again taking on the responsibilities of Show Secretary. I must also thank those members who have already tested their breeding cats for PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) , a topic which I have written in December issue of FELIS. Simple, effective DNA testing is available to identify this disease so there is no reason why we cannot work together to combat its intrusion. Please have your cats tested and forward results to me as I am collating them to best assist us in managing this disease. Results are available to each and everyone of you. I cannot conclude my report without also making mention & thanking Sharryn Hilton for her work in revamping our FELIS. It continues to be professional in appearance and filled with content that should be of interest to our members. Thanks also to L J Hooker Picton for the financial support given in producing then distributing FELIS. When talking with those Siamese lovers & fellow breeders around the World, please remember to give them the link to our website & to the FELIS page. Finally, I again must thank my fellow Committee members for their work this year and for the support they have given me as your SCS President. To all our members continue the good work in breeding and promoting our Siamese and remember your SCS Committee is Bye for Now, here to work with and for you. Tony Hurry President, Siamese Cat Society of NSW Inc. E: [email protected] .au Ph: 0418 290 164 6 SECRETARY’S REPORT PRESENTED AT AGM - 30TH JANUARY, 2016 Good afternoon members, We have had a busy year with Cats NSW providing shows throughout the year. This past year has made me feel that I have not done my job well enough, by not being able to attend most of the shows due to health issues of either the human or cat form. For that I can only apologise for not being present to assist in the maintaining of the Siamese Cat Society’s face to the public. The wearing of multiple hats has certainly shown me that maybe I need also multiple heads!! Our own Siamese Cat Society Show was held in March 2015 at Wilberforce Hall, it was a “Mad Hatters Theme” which made it fun for the day. A successful show and great fun had by all. Because we were essentially a new Show committee and a new Siamese Cat Society committee it was left to have the big day to the ‘few volunteers’ to ensure its success, but thankfully it went off without a hitch. The most important WINNER of the day was to Tony & Bev Hurry winning both the, JOYCE SELBY AWARD for the ‘BEST PURE SIAMESE EXHIBIT’ and also the LJ HOOKER PICTON AWARD for the ‘BEST PURE SIAMESE EXHIBIT, BRED BY EXHIBITOR’.

References & acknowledgements 14 Breed Origins & History In the west the Korat takes its name from a northern area of Thailand, a remote location near the Burmese border. It’s believed blue cats may have had the evolutionary edge there as the coat colour blended with the granite rock. In its homeland it’s most usually called the Si-Sawat, though there are also the older names of Doklao and Maled. These derive from the poetic imagery of the Tamra Maew, Thailand’s treasured ‘Book of Cats’ now to be seen as the Smud Khoi of Cats in the National Museum of Bangkok. The Korat drawing and verse as it appears on the ancient manuscript (Smud Khoi) Naturally enough, it is how the cat looks (phenotype) that is described with the body colour being likened to a seed head, lemon grass flower, clouds and sea foam, but they are important as they are the reason for the Korat’s modern Thai name of Si-Sawat (grey cat - where si is colour and sawat a mingling of grey and light green).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How Do Siamese Cats Get Their Coat Coloration?
    TEACHER EDITION How Do Siamese Cats Get Their Coat Coloration? © Amber Todd, Ph.D. image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/Female_siamese_cat.jpg TEACHER EDITION TEACHER EDITION Lesson Set: How Do Siamese Cats Get Their Coat Coloration? OVERVIEW Purpose The purpose of these lessons are for students to further explore protein structure and function and to learn how proteins lead to observable traits. Sequencing This lesson set is designed to be taught prior to the introduction of the central dogma (DNA -> RNA -> protein) and the details of transcription and translation. This lesson set is designed to be taught after the introduction of protein functions and cellular specialization. Students should know some examples of protein functions, that proteins do the work of the cell, that somatic cells in our body contain the same DNA, and that specialized cells express different genes to create different proteins specific for the function of the specialized cell. Description This learning set is centered around the Driving Question (DQ) “How do Siamese cats get their coat coloration?” Students will use this example to see how proteins can lead to observable traits. In the first lesson, Students will use paper models to show how enzyme structure in the active site relates to function. Students will use computer models in the second activity to show how proteins interact with other molecules in 3D. In the third activity, Students will experiment with Jell-O and fruit juices to show enzymes in action. In the fourth activity, Students will look at different molecular motor proteins and learn how their structure and function relate.

  • Truth About Cats and Dogs
    Everybody wants to be a cat Bengal Cat Siberian Cat Savanah Cat Siamese Cat Sphinx Cat Russian Blue Memories Big Ear Cat . One of the most popular breeds of cat in the USA, this short-haired breed has the old name for the country where it was thought to have originated. Which fine-boned, slender, medium-sized breed of cat is this? Abyssinian Abyssinian • Although this breed was developed in Great Britain, it was given the old name for what is now Ethiopia/Abyssinia. • It was thought the breed developed from kittens brought home by returning soldiers coming from that part of the world. • There is an element of truth in the story but, it now seems that the soldiers almost certainly bought their kittens from Egyptian traders, rather than Ethiopian ones. Indeed, recent research suggests that the breed may have developed from a single cat, named Zula, bought by a soldier in Alexandria in 1868. • This breed is sometimes called a "Purebred Long-haired Siamese", since is developed as a mutation from the standard Siamese. Noted for its sapphas a light-coloured body with darker extremities. Considered the most intelligent of all long- haired breeds, which cat is this? Bengal Bengal cat • This is a rare breed of domestic cat from France. Large and muscular(called cobby) with relatively short, fine-boned limbs, and very fast reflexes. They are known for their blue (grey) water-resistant short hair double coats and orange or copper-colored eyes. They are also known for their “smile”. These cats are exceptional hunters and are highly prized by farmers.

  • T R 0 a R T Y
    THE EYES SHINE LIKE DEWDROPS ON THE LOTUS LEAF By DAPHNE NEGUS K S 0 T R 0 A R T Y Mrs. Richard Negus, holding female Korat kitten, Si Sawat's Maliwan at show in Santa Cruz, California, August 1966. While in Thailand, in 1966, Mr. John A. Nagle, a frequent trav- eler to that region, told a Chinese acquaintance, a businessman from the city of Korat, that he was looking for some cats. "Oh?" said the businessman. "You want a Siamese cat?" "Yes," said Mr. Nagle, "I am looking for some Korats." The businessman beamed. "Ah—you are looking for some of OUR cats !" And that is how the Korat is thought of in Thailand. To the Western mind springs a picture of a cat with a svelte, light colored body with darker points and brilliant blue eyes. Whereas a Thai might visualize a silver blue cat with brilliant green eyes—the Si Sa- wat, or Korat cat. An early reference states that the original Siamese cat was either Seal (Royal) or Chocolate (nearly solid), and that the gene for Blue was introduced by mating with a solid blue oriental type cat original- ly living in the city of Corat (Korat). This cat was purebred and was nurtured by the people of that city. There are breaks in the family tree of the first two recognized generations of Blue Point Siamese in England. The "Parents Unknown" might have been Russian Blues, or they might have been blue shorthairs. However, those Siamese imported from Thailand may have carried the blue or Maltese gene from the Korat cats.

    Directory of Cat Breeders Feline Association of SA Inc. 2016-2017 Feline Association of SA Inc. 2016-2017 THINKING OF BUYING A PEDIGREE KITTEN? A GUIDE AND ADVICE FOR PURCHASERS Questions to ask Is the cattery registered? For further information, contact the Feline Association for a list of FASA registered Breeders. Can I visit and see the kittens in their own environment with no obligation? Shop around. Make it clear you are looking and taking your time. Make the right decision, not an impulse buy which could disappoint you later. Does the cattery appear clean, with no undue odor (there may be some smell attached where a stud cat is housed)? Do all the cats and kittens appear healthy, happy and active? o There should be no more cats/kittens than what the breeder and their family can effectively care for. o Cats/kittens should be raised in an environment that offers them physical and mental stimulation, and kittens will appear to be well handled and socialised. o Kittens should only be placed in homes where the breeder genuinely believes the new owner will provide a life-long commitment of responsible pet ownership. o Have you considered how you will introduce your current pets and children to your new kitten? These are topics that your breeder should be able to help you with. How old will the kitten be when I can have it? Kittens should not go to new homes unless they are in good health and are 12 weeks of age. What am I getting for my money? Kittens will have had a veterinary health check and be immunized.
