Although originally from Texas, she has lived in California for the last 15 years. Currently she is the Dean of Sciences and Math at a small college in northern California. She is married to Jeff Roberts, also an All Breeds judge in TICA. The name of their cattery “PuraVida” reflects their love for paradise in Costa Rica. Heather breeds Singapuras and European Burmese and finds the incredible intelligence of the Singapura and the laidback personality of the European Burmese to be a nice balance in her life. Their breeding program focuses on healthy cats with loving temperaments foremost. She has also shown Bengal, Cymric, Siberian, Maine Coon, Somali, Bombay, and companion cats. She has had the extreme pleasure of judging in Australia and New Zealand several times over recent years. She enjoys the countryside, the new friendships, and of course the fabulous quality of the cats. She has imported cats from Australia and New Zealand for use in her own breeding program, and has exported cats back to Australia in an effort to truly internationalize some gene pools. She hopes to someday import a lovely Burmilla for her and Jeff to enjoy and promote in TICA.

There are several concerns on the possible negative effects on PPG including anaesthesia, surgery and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of PPG. Microsoft excel was used for statistical analysis. The information about 6646 purebred kittens who had gone through PPG before 27 weeks of age was obtained from the online retrospective survey. Database included cats from the different breeds and –age groups when the surgery was performed, collected in 2019.

Other associations do not allow registrations of the street cats. In reviewing other CFA breeds that allow imports from country of origin there are variations. For example, the Turkish Angora only requires a 3 generation pedigree from other associations. 3 generations will also assure that street cats registered by TICA on judges' approvals will have at least a 3 generation of registered JBTs. More importantly, we can encourage FIFe registered cats to register CFA. FIFe only produces 4 generation pedigrees, so currently a FIFe registered cat would require 2 pedigrees, one for each parent to make the 5 generations.

    Reds, Creams and Inbetweens Dr Kerry Fowler MSc PhD Grad Dip Ed Published in NSW CFA Catching Up 5(3/4):5-6(2003) Background Current registration systems in most Australian cat councils work on the concept that two solid cats cannot produce a tabby kitten. In the main this policy is absolutely correct however in the case of the orange or ‘O’ gene cats ie creams, reds and the less vibrant reds known as ‘gingers’ and ‘marmalades’, sticking to this hard and fast rule often results in no end of controversy and confusion. Breeders are obliged to register red or cream tabby marked kittens from solid parents as red or cream selfs and in turn judges are required to assess them as such despite some of these red or cream kittens and cats having an abundance of clear tabby markings. Being a sex-linked gene, the ‘O’ gene coat colour issues extend to tortoiseshells, blue-creams and tricolours. This article identifies some of the misunderstanding surrounding breeding and judging ‘O’ gene cats including cameos and apricots, and draws on current genetic knowledge, registration policies and show standards from other councils to help resolve some of the re-occurring questions. Genetic principles In order to help put some of the debate and perplexity aside it is worth keeping in mind that there are four basic genetic rules that help us to understand the appearance of red or cream tabbies and solids. First, the tabby pattern gene is present in all cats including solid or self cats. Second, the tabby pattern is only revealed when the dominant agouti gene product or protein is present.
  • Breeding Policy

    Breeding Policy

    ORIENTAL BREEDING POLICY This breeding policy accompanies and supplements the Oriental Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to ensure breeders observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding Orientals with the over-riding objective of improving the Oriental cat to meet all aspects of the Oriental Standard of Points, which describes the ideal for the recognised varieties in the Oriental Group. The origins of the Oriental Until the late 1960’s very few Orientals were seen at shows other than the Havanas (which had their own classes), and the Lilacs and Whites which were exhibited as ‘Any Other Variety (AOV)’. By the end of the decade the Havanas and the Tabby Pointed Siamese (only recognised as a variety of Siamese in 1966), were among the best Siamese types in the country. With the help of prudent outcrossing between Havanas and Tabby Point Siamese, and by backcrossing to both parental varieties, further improvement was made in the Havanas and the emergence of the Oriental Tabby as a beautiful variety in its own right was assured. Hot on the heels of the Oriental Tabbies came the Blues, Blacks, Tortoiseshells (Torties), Silver Tabbies, Smokes and Shaded Silvers. The Oriental is now well established in the UK and over 50 years of breeding has developed and fixed good phenotype in the breed but with a decreasing gene-pool. The Oriental breed has one of the largest numbers of gene variations of any breed of pedigree cat recognised by GCCF.
  • The Turkish Van Cat Club

    The Turkish Van Cat Club

    ~~ TURKISH CATS ~~ Frequently Asked Questions In this leaflet we hope to answer your most common question about Turkish cats, however please remember that, like people, cats are all different and each have their own characters. The answers below are general observations, however individual animals will exhibit their own unique behaviour, which is what makes them so special to us. GENERAL Are the Turkish cat breeds related to each other? The Turkish Van and Turkish Vankedisi are very closely related, differing only in coat colour. The intention is that the Van and Vankedisi can be inter-bred, with the offspring being registered according to whether they are white coated, or van-pattern coated. The Turkish Angora was probably also related at some point in its ancestry, although from a breeding point of view there is no permissible out-crossing between the Turkish Angoras and the Turkish Van/Vankedisi. There are many similarities between them, however the basic bone structure is quite different with the Turkish Van/Vankedisi being more sturdy and muscular. Turkish Vankedisi have completely white coats, whilst the Turkish Van has the very distinctive "van-patterned" markings. Conversely, the Turkish Angoras are available in a wide range of different coat colours and patterns, including white. Do they need any special attention or grooming? The silky nature of their coats combined with the lack of a woolly undercoat means that very little grooming is necessary. Occasionally one or two mattes may appear which need to be teased out, and a light brush now and again will always help keep the coat in good condition.
