  • Reds, Creams and Inbetweens Dr Kerry Fowler Msc Phd Grad Dip Ed Published in NSW CFA Catching up 5(3/4):5-6(2003)
    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.

  • The Cats of My Life
    All the cats of my life by Yasmin Donlon All the cats of my life by Yasmin Donlon My husband, Michael and I are owned at this moment in time by three cats - Aimee, a female blue Burmese, Darbia Tangutica (Tangye for short) after the author, Derek Tangye who inspired me to write in the first place, who is a stumpy red tabby and white Manx cat, and Darbia Bling Bling, a proper Manx - no tail at all. He is classed as a Rumpie Riser. In a few weeks time we will be taking ownership of a blue Cornish Rex. Fell in love with one of these at a cat show. It was asleep in a hammock and had chiselled angular features. We show our cats up and down the country. When initially I made enquiries about showing Tangye I met with the bureaucracy of the complicated forms to fill in. I discovered Tangye was not allowed in G.C.C.F. shows and had to instead put him in a relatively new formed set up, Fife (a bit like the football). I was advised that once we had been to our first show we would meet like-minded people and be hooked – hook, line and sinker. I asked if there were many men who went, as I did not want Michael sticking out like a sore thumb amongst a load of women talking cats. I was reassured that men singly and as half of couples regularly attended all the cat shows. The forms which I had to complete required the names of the sire and dam – Tangye’s dad and mum, his G.C.C.F.

  • A WCF Cat Show How It Works and What Happens
    A WCF Cat Show How it works and what happens Rev. 29.11.2014. Beverly Elian, Romania (AB WCF) Adapted from a magazine article WCF Cat Show is first and foremost a beauty competition! Cats are groomed carefully, owners are washing, brushing, trimming their cats until the last moment to make them as beautiful as possible, hoping to win title all breeders and owners want - Best In Show! Cat shows are where friends who all enjoy the pleasure of competition get to together and enjoy the time together whilst showing their cats. Many of us travel thousands of kilometers with our precious cats to spend a weekend in a nice hotel, enjoy evenings with other exhibitors, make new friends, and the competition during the day is part of the pleasure. Part of my circle of friends' tradition is the owner of the winner buys the drinks that evening! The day starts with the vetting in. This means that each cat must go through a vet check to ensure that it is fully vaccinated against Rabies, Panleucopenia and Rhinotracheitis, visibly the cat is in excellent health and no external parasites can be seen. The microchip is also checked to ensure that the cat is actually the one registered and paid for in the show. The exhibitor then checks in, gets his cage number and is allowed into the show hall. Some organizers provide metal cages to be decorated with the exhibitor's choice of curtains, some organizers allow people to bring their own cloth cages. No matter what cages are used, the exhibitors must provide comfort, a litter box and water for the cats during the day.

  • Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy
    Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy Guidelines for Healthy & Responsible Breeding 2 Forward This breeding policy has been written to accompany and supplement the Selkirk Rex Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. If there are any queries regarding either document, these should be referred to the Breed Advisory Committee delegates of the affiliated Selkirk Rex Cat Club. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders of Selkirk Rex Cats, to ensure best practice prevails. The over-riding objective is to conserve and improve the SelkirkRex cat, working to meet all aspects of the Standard of Points, which describes the ideal for the breed. Breeders should learn how to gain the best out of their breeding plans by adding value into the Selkirk Rex and how to make decisions that can only better its on-going development. A balance should be sourced to balance the need for selective outcrossing to increase the gene pool and improve stamina and health with the need to breed Selkirk Rex with sufficient preceding generations of Selkirk to Selkirkmatings to produce consistent type. Co-operation between breeders, with the GCCF and internationally, will ensure that diverse breeding lines are maintained within the breed and the breeders have sufficient options to maintain low inbreeding coefficients.
