Researching Legislators: What Fanciers Need To Know

Researching Legislators: What Fanciers Need To Know

I Wish I Had Know Then...

…what I know now! Although we all must have uttered this lament at some point in our lives, every single breeder, exhibitor, and judge in the cat fancy is guaranteed to have said this phrase while reflecting on their hobby of choice. Cat Talk writer Jean Aldrich asked a variety of people in CFA what they wished that they had known when they started down many of the paths that CFA offers. In this issue we look at what exhibitors wished they had known at their first show, and judges pondering their first assignments. In our February “Breeding” issue, we ask breeders what they had known way back when.

time in a bottle

“time in a bottle” consists of a magical time capsule of things we would like to see the cat fancier of 100 years from now know from our life in cfa. this time capsule can contain, anyone, anything, any memory --- and that person, thing and memory will be as alive, vibrant and wonderful as the day you put it in. it can be submitted with a name or anonymously. our only rule is it must be something that has positively influenced you in cfa.

the southwest region 5 annual meeting in las vegas, nevada, was a wonderful week of education, meeting old friends and making new ones, and surprises!

From Show Cat To Therapy Cat

Sometimes good things turn out even better than expected. That pretty much sums up first-time exhibitor Deena Stevens’ experiences with her shaded silver Persian, GC Castlegate’s Khoja of AsyuWishPurr. As a show cat, Khoja placed second in the Silver/Golden division in Region 2 as both a kitten and an adult, and 10th overall in the CFA Silver/Golden division in the 2016-2017season. As a therapy cat, he brought joy and extra benefits to seniors with serious illnesses.
