Pat started her life in the Cat world with Siamese and Persians, and quickly moved on to Burmese where she was one of the founder breeders of reds and creams who along with Wendy Chapman bred Britains first Red Burmese Grand Champion Patriarca Perdita. Other burmese that Pat bred which you may have heard of are Patriarca Pickapepper, Patriarca Percyfilv, Patriarca Potohoney to name but a few. Pat also bred Cornish Rex, Abbysinnians again with the Abbys being the founder member of the blues. However Pats real contribution to the Cat Fancy was along with Lulu Rowley of Petilu importing Ragdolls into the UK back in the early 80's, her Ragdolls can now be seen all over the RIP Pat 07/081940 - 08/09/2011 World and claimimg Championship status as far afield as Australia and Hong Kong. Pats passing is a great loss to the Cat Fancy, her knowledge of genetics was just fantastic, she will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

Felis Britannica editor @felisbritannica.co.uk New Breed Section After many people said how much they enjoyed reading about the “Khaoe Manee or White Thai Cat, I thought it would be nice to feature other new breeds. Here is a short Article about a breed at it’s very beginnings from Ash Mollay. My “Tibetan” Journey, Ash Molloy After seeing pictures of Vanessa Gasser’s Tibetans on Facebook I was captivated and had to do some research into the breed. Tibetans are essentially Longhaired Tonkinese: They have the unique ‘mink’ colouring with aquamarine eyes but have a swishy, silky coat and a Tibtan Kittens ‘squirrel tail’ like a Balinese - to me - simply gorgeous! keen to export her breed to the UK but the cost and logistics of Agnes Driessen is the founder of the breed. She began breeding importing a cat were quite off-putting for me (this was before the Tibetans in 1992 by crossing Balinese to Burmese then back to DEFRA rule changes). I decided to put an import on the Balinese. In 1997 the breed was granted championship status by the backburner and instead look for a suitable match for my Balinese, Dutch Independent Cat Association. here in the UK. I didn’t want to use Burmese, as Agnes has done, it seemed too longwinded a process. I knew I could produce first Like Tonkinese, Tibetans come in 30 colours spread across the 3 generation Tibetans from a Tiffany, if I could find one of Burmese patterns; Mink, Sepia and Point. colouring (BCR). I knew I had to have some of my own so talked at length with Agnes This proved to be something of a challenge as almost all Tiffany about importing a Tibetan girl. I already had a seal point Balinese breeders work with silver shaded cats. Then in January 2011 I male so with the right girl could produce Tibetan kittens. Agnes was found a litter of Tiffany kittens, which appeared to have one solid brown kitten in the picture. I contacted their breeder, Andrea Reavill, to ask if that kitten should happen to be a ‘BCR’ girl. She was but she was not perfect as she was a smoke but as everything else was right I thought the silver element was a compromise worth making. I collected my brown smoke Tiffany girl in February this year and named her Lhasa after the capital of Tibet. Lhasa matured beautifully. She won best new variety as an Asian Longhair at an Aristocats show and then in August mated with Phoenix, my Balinese, on her first call. And so on the 21st October 2011 the UK’s first Tibetan kittens were born. Four perfect, Natural Mink-Smoke babies, two of each sex. Thanks to Agnes’ exports and other breeders’ initiative Tibetan kittens are now being produced in 14 catteries across 8 countries around the world and are recognised by many national Tibetan mum with babies. independent cat associatons. Message from the General Secretary and the Executive Committee Following what has been a pretty tough year, John Cunningham has resigned from his role as Acting President of Felis Britannica. The Executive Committee regret his decision, but understand and wish him well. We appreciate all of the work John has put in to making FB a successful organisation, first as Chairman of the Show Commission and more recently as our President. We have had some very energetic discussions with some tears but more laughter and will miss his contributions to future debates. Frank Mandix, the acting Vice President will assume the role of Acting President until elections take place at the next AGA proposed for late February / early March 2012. We hope you all will join us in welcoming Frank, who only joined us in the last year but brings to us experience of FIFe in Europe which we have found very inspirational.

  • Printable Breed Introduction
    TICA Khaomanee Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: With one blue eye and one eye ranging from copper through yellow to green, this shining white cat from Thailand captures the imagination. Khaomanee (sometimes seen as Khao Manee) means White Gem and is thought to have been a favorite in the royal palaces. A heart- shaped face with high cheekbones and a brilliant white coat like diamonds belie the naughtiness of these stunning cats, but their devotion to you will have you admiring the naughtiness that these intelligent cats so enjoy as they entertain you with their antics. History: Several related breeds have their origins, ancient origins, in Thailand. The Siamese (Wichien-maat), the Burmese (Suphalak), the Korat (Dork Lao) and the Khaomanee. The first three breeds are well-established in the West but the Khaomanee has remained a well-kept secret in its native Thailand. Like the other breeds, we find references to the Khaomanee in the Tamra Maew (an ancient collection of Thai cat poems from 1350). Although in that text, it is called the Khao Plort. While the eyes were originally referred to as the color of mercury, the eye color was changed to reflect the odd-eyed cats that were considered lucky and also to have the yellow eyes like canary diamonds that breeders also favored. Interest in these striking cats has grown in the West, and in 1999, Colleen Freymouth imported the first Khaomanee, Sripia, from Thailand to the US. She also imported a male and bred the first Khaomanee litter in North America. Janet Poulsen (Odyssey cattery) exported the first Khaomanee to the UK, and interest in the breed is growing there, as breeders import more of these stunning cats from Thailand to continue developing the breed.

A. Pistorius1,2* and Ineke Blokker2 Abstract Background: For many years, breeders of companion animals have applied inbreeding or line breeding to trans- fer desirable genetic traits from parents to their ofspring. Simultaneously, this resulted in a considerable spread of hereditary diseases and phenomena associated with inbreeding depression. Results: Our cluster analysis of kinship and inbreeding coefcients suggests that the Thai or traditional Siamese cat could be considered as a subpopulation of the Siamese cat, which shares common ancestors, although they are con- sidered as separate breeds.
