Thanks to all who participated in the voting as this is a very important right you receive as a member of TICA. I know that when I first started in the cat fancy and joined TICA, voting and the Board of Directors were personally not important to me. But as the years have passed, I have become to realize how important it is for all of our members to participate in this process. Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better. - Sydney J. Harris, Journalist The truth of the matter is that we will constantly face change and the only way TICA can even hope to figure out how to make things “get better” is for you to let your wishes be known. While we are all joined by our love of cats, we are a group of very Reminder to Clubs Item #7 in the TICA Judging Contract: The lodging provided by the club shall be within reasonable walking distance of a restaurant that is open for all meals, if such food service is not available at the hotel itself. 4 TICA™ TREND different people. We are separated by geography and sometimes language, customs, age, education, profession and values. Some of us live in areas where the cat fancy has been an accepted hobby for many years. Others live in areas where the development of a cat fancy hobby is an exciting goal. Some of us know what dial phones, Brownie cameras, and “correcting” Selectrics all look like and others were born into the age of automation. We each have different perceptions of what needs to be changed (or not), our comfort level with that change and how quickly it happens. We often face different challenges in being able to enjoy our hobby. This is YOUR hobby, your association. You have the power to shape it through your vote and your voice. When your Regional Director comes to a Board Meeting, he or she is bringing a perspective of what TICA can do to make things “get better.” With every Regional Director at the Board table with their background, knowledge and this perspective, we can hope for rich discussion and decisions which guide TICA on the best path. So, if voting and Regional Directors haven’t been important to you, I challenge you to get involved! The membership ballot won’t be presented until Fall, but it’s never too early to meet your Regional Director.

By Clint Knapp Everyone thought it was great and it held a prominent space in the kitchen. That should have been the end of it. As some people know, I have a little side hobby that was spawned by my life with the cats: “I collect cat cookie jars.” Over the years I have accumulated twenty-five cookie jars. My criteria are simple. First, it must be a COOKIE JAR. Candy dishes, bowls, canisters and other such items just don’t cut it. Second, it needs to be a cat cookie jar or, at least, have a cat on it. I have had people show me cookie jars with other animals on them such as dogs or bears or cows. All were very nice but they weren’t cats. So, how did I get started with this little obsession? I can’t give an exact date, but it was probably about fifteen or sixteen years ago. I was at the mall doing some Christmas shopping and saw this cookie jar. It was a cat on its back holding a fish bowl. I thought it was really cute so I bought it. 10 TICA™ TREND However, I was at a cat show a short time later and there were three cookie jars at the raffle table! I got tickets for all three but only won one. After some negotiating (and pouting) the woman who won the other two agreed to sell me one of them, so I went home with two cookie jars. Now I had a collection! Where do I find all of these cookie jars you ask? Flea markets, yard sales, stores and web sites are all sources. However, cat show raffle tables are still where I find most of my treasure. Whenever I’m at a show, I look for the raffle table and if there’s a cat cookie jar there, you know that I will be bidding on it. “I just won another cookie jar!” I would text my wife. “Oh yay” she would text back with, I suspect, more sarcasm than enthusiasm. But, despite all of her eye rolling, when she is at a show that I’m not able to attend, if she sees a cookie jar, she bids on it and has brought back more than a few. Now that’s love. I also have friends who are on the lookout for them. One show was next to an antique mall. I went up and down the aisles but came up empty. Sure, there were cookie jars but none with cats. A little while later I received a text from my friend Bob who was still looking February/March 2014 * Volume 35, No. 2 around the mall. “Look what I found” and attached was a picture of a cat cookie jar! He told me where it was and I went back and snapped it up. Displaying these items while sharing our house with cats can be a bit of a challenge. For one thing, unlike some little knick-knacks that people collect, cookie jars take up a certain amount of room. You can’t just stick twenty-five of them in a curio cabinet. Put a few on your counter or a table and there’s not much room for anything else. Also, they are breakable; a fact that most cats don’t really respect. Yes, there have been a few casualties. However, I believe I have found areas that are impervious to even the most resourceful feline. Butter-fingered spouses, on the other hand, present a different challenge. One day, I walked into the kitchen to find one of the cookie jars on the counter. “What’s that doing there?” I asked my wife. “If we are going to have all of these cookie jars we can at least use one for actual cookies” she said. She lifted the lid to show me at which point it promptly slipped out of her hand and onto the top of the jar, breaking off two big pieces. Needless to say, the cookies came out. I managed to put the jar back together with a little super glue and got a promise out of my wife to look but not touch. So that’s my story. Some people have suggested therapy, but I feel that I can manage my compulsion. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Anyway, if you’re a cat cookie jar out there and you’re looking for a home, fear not. I will find you. It’s my mission. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA TICA™ TREND February/March 2014 * Volume 35, No. 2 11 IW SGCA KELLOGGS HIT THE LIGHTS OF SAMPHIRE Breeders: Heinrich and Carly Kellogg Owners: Heinrich and Carly Kellogg/C. Schofield Region: Northwest Kelloggs Hit The Lights (a.k.a. Larseboy) By “Poppy” Schofield This story started several years ago. Through the crowds at a CFA show, I glimpsed an exquisite looking Black Silver Classic Tabby American Shorthair on the judge's table. I followed his owners and breeders, Carly and Heinrich Kellogg, back to their benching area, introduced myself, and put in an order for a big alter boy "just like that one". In next to no time, I had a Kelloggs kitten to show, and she did well (TICA's best kitten in the 20072008 season). Alas, the kitten was a girl and destined for their breeding program. She produced some fine kittens, all girls, including TICA's best kitten in the 2009-2010 season. Where were the boys? One day Carly called -- "I think your boy might be here. Why don't you come and meet him on the weekend?" It was love first sight. For such a young man, he had beautiful colour, contrast and pattern. He had a sweet face with an open expression and an outgoing personality. Yes, this was my boy and he needed a special name. His dad is "American Soldier" and mum is "For Whom The Bell Tolls". I searched the 'net and learned more than I ever wanted to know about the US military and Ernest Hemmingway! Heinrich stepped in and steered me in the right direction -- these were song titles. One (dad) from a Queensryche album and the other (mum) from a Metallica album and his name had to follow the musical tradition. Now I know more than I ever wanted to know about Heavy Metal music! The first song on the Metallica album "Kill 'Em All" is "Hit The Lights", written by Lars Ulrich. We had it! Kelloggs Hit The Lights of Samphire, a.k.a. Larseboy. 12 TICA™ TREND My broken leg followed by accident in which my car was "totalled" (I was the innocent party!) brought his kitten career to an abrupt end. His first year as an alter wasn't much better. He picked up a mysterious bug (we still don't know what it was) which kept him out of the show ring. Once better, he managed to injure his ear. Special thanks go to Dr David Marlow BVMS MRCVS and his team at the Brookswood Vetinerary Hospital in Langley, British Columbia, Canada for being there for us and understanding my paranoia! Would he ever get well? Would I ever be able to show this beauty? The 2012-2013 season started well. He immediately hit the top of the Alter leader board. Every time the standings were updated I was amazed to see he was still there, as the alter class quality was incredible. He loved to travel (what a blessing!) and was a ham in the ring. He maintained his dignity while showing off to the spectators. February/March 2014 * Volume 35, No. 2 At the Annual Awards ceremony I was filled with emotion when we took Larseboy, all dressed up in his best bib and tucker, to pick up his award: TICA's 2012 -2013 Alter Of The Year. I write this tribute to not only my wonderful Lars with his stunning looks, winning ways and love of life, but to all those in TICA who helped and encouraged us on our journey, especially: All the show committee members who work diligently behind the scenes, to give us exhibitors a place to have fun and showcase our kitties. The judges who have the pleasure of handling so many fabulous felines but are faced with the difficult decision of choosing the finalists. The ring staff, clerks and stewards. The folks who chauffeured us around. Fellow exhibitors who gave support and friendship. Finally, I send my gratitude to Carly and Heinrich Kellogg for entrusting me with a very special feline gentleman, my buddy Larseboy.

I got her in January 1993 at a cat show in Texas. She was four months old and I could hold her in the palm of my hand. Cameo was my beautiful tortoiseshell pet Manx. She ruled my two American Curls. Cameo never liked to show. As soon as she got her highest title – Supreme Grand Master – in The International Cat Association, I retired her. The last three or four years of her life she became my Velcro cat. She always kept me in her dim eyesight. She was always in my lap. She would sleep with and on me. I knew that she had heart problems. She also had high blood pressure. My vet said that those may have triggered her two days of seizures on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at noon, came too soon for her to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I had her euthanized and cremated. I know that she is at peace, free from pain, and playing at the feet of God. RASCAL Tribute and Farewell By Sharon Faye Wilbur Celticurl’s Lil Rascal was was born on Jan. 23, 1992. I first saw him at a TICA cat show in Fort Worth, TX and met his breeder Karen O’Brien in Sept. 1992. Karen mentored me as I was showing Rascal in TICA. Rascal was Best American Curl Longhair Alter in TICA in 1993. He became a QGCA in TICA. He was a good ambassador for the Curls during the years that my work took me from Army town/Post to Army town/Post as I was an Army librarian. As I joined different organizations, he became my show and tell at meetings. With his curled ears, silky blue coat, and marvelous disposition, Rascal would sit there and enjoy the attention. Rascal did not like to be cuddled but he always wanted to be near me. I retired in 1999 and moved back to Texas. His companion, my SGM Cameo missed him until her death in 2013. They always slept together beside me on the bed. Monday, April 21, 2008, came too soon for him to cross the Rainbow Bridge. He is at peace and playing with Cameo. TICA™ TREND February/March 2014 * Volume 35, No. 2 17 “WHAT’S ONE WEEK?” CONFESSIONS OF A RELUCTANT FOSER PARENT Article and Photos By Cimeron Morrissey “WHY IS OUR BATHROOM MEOWING?”…. my husband asked when he came home from a trip. I retrieved the culprit — Joey, the most outgoing and talkative of the three rescued kittens — and placed the tiny orange fuzz ball in John’s arms. Joey turned on the charm and his motorboat purr, which was much bigger than his skinny little 4-week old body. John shook his head. Just that morning, I had declared that there was no way I could foster. With an extrabusy work schedule and our home remodel about to start, I just couldn’t swing it. Or so I thought. All that changed with one phone call. “Don’t worry. Another foster parent will take them next week. What’s one week, right?” I said, utterly unconvincingly. Resistance Is Futile When my friend and fellow volunteer, Mary Macdonald, called that morning, I assumed it was to see if I could foster. I confess: I had my diplomatic refusal all prepared. She and I — and several others — volunteer for Project Bat Cat, a humane feral cat colony management program which helps 75 felines living along San Francisco Bay. We’d all As a kitten, Joe loved to been frantically searching for “talk” and experience everythe kittens of an abandoned cat thing he possibly could. — a young patched tabby we named Annette.

Cimeron Morrissey is a cat rescuer, an award-winning writer and was named Animal Planet’s Cat Hero of the Year in 2007.

Cimeron on one of her visits with Joey 18 ™ TICA TREND February/March 2014 * Volume 35, No. 2 FOSTER CARE Sometimes, a week is the difference between life and death. My reasons for refusing to foster suddenly seemed so trivial and quickly transformed into a plea to the heavens to help us find the orphans. Those prayers were soon answered when a catloving city employee, Frank Sanchez, spotted Annette’s kittens in a remote corner of a nearby maintenance yard behind a locked gate. I rushed out and, with shaking hands, I caught the tiny 4week-olds one by one: two red tabbies and a fluffy gray boy. “What’s going to happen to them now?” Frank asked. With relief and without hesitation, I said, “I’m fostering them.” Separation Anxiety It didn’t take long to become attached to the kittens. The days they spent without their mother made them hunger not just for food, but also for affection. They were all over me! Walter, the gray puffball, was all about playing. Gregarious Joey wanted to experience everything and talk about it with me — I fell for him the hardest. And Frankie just wanted to snuggle all the time. I was all over them, too: tickling their sweet little paws, introducing them to the wonderful world of toys, kissing them constantly and thanking the heavens that they were alive. I couldn’t even put them down when they were being examined by Project Bay Cat’s veterinarian, the wonderful Dr. Lloyd Wilson of Crystal Springs Pet Hospital. He declared them all to be in perfect health and didn’t even make fun of me for clinging to them throughout the exam. I couldn’t believe how overwhelmingly satisfying it was to help the kittens forget that they were orphans. Fostering was supposed to be all about them, but I got something out of it, too. I got to watch them experience the joys of being happy, playful, well-loved, carefree kittens with full bellies and bright futures. When the seven days were up and I left them in the capable, loving hands of their new foster mom, I wept like a baby; and again when Walter and Frankie got adopted; and again when Dr. Wilson and his wife Bonnie decided to adopt Joey and reassured me I could visit him at the hospital whenever I wanted. While hugging me and wiping away my happy tears, my husband mimicked me playfully in a high-pitched voice: “What’s one week?” Now I know the answer: It’s a chance to transform a tragic situation into an incredibly happy ending for tiny furry souls. It’s seven smile-filled days of marveling at their little triumphs and discoveries. It’s constantly laughing at them air-kneading in their sleep, somersaulting over each other to the food bowl and their “ferocious” and clumsy attempts to pounce on each other. And sometimes, a week is the difference between life and death. ******* This article was first printed in CATFANCY magazine October 2012 JOEY WITH HIS LITTERMATES “THERE ARE THOUSANDS” of deserving rescued kittens like Joey, Walter and Frankie whose survival depends on having a home-between-homes.

There are many different ways to approach treatment. If you think about ringworm in the same way as athletes foot, it seems less scary. There are several topical ointments you can use, such as Lotramin ringworm ointment. Your vet can provide your pet with oral medication or sulphur dips. Using Advantage for two months will also kill the fungus. You may also want to spray cat trees, etc with a bleach and water blend and wash all cat beds and other bedding in hot water to kill those pesky little cells that tend to hang around for months, just waiting for an unsuspecting victim they can attach themselves to. The most important thing is to remember that it takes four to six weeks to be completely rid of the fungus but most treatments insure that it is no longer contagious after about a week or two of treatment. It is a Dear Tabby, bothersome condition but much easier to cure and We had a very scary happening in our household.

Your kitten is very lucky you were home. One easy solution is to take pillow cases and put them over the chair backs whenever you have kittens, until they are bigger. If you sew, you can make them to their exact size and coordinate them with your decor. They can make a room very festive. Happy decorating!! Dear Tabby, We recently got a kitten from a very reputable breeder. After a week of being here, we noticed some of his fur had started to disappear. Turns out he has ringworm. What exactly is ringworm? Signed, Worm Hater Dear Worm Hater, Fear not. Ringworm is not actually a worm and can be quite common, especially in the warmer states. It is a fungus that grows in hot and damp areas. There are many times the human contracts it in the woods and brings it home to their animals. If there's a dog in the house that goes out regularly in the woods, they can also bring it home and share it with the household. To further complicate things, the "host " might never actually break out with the fungus. Those with really good immune systems seem to escape it. That's why it's usually kittens, puppies, children and those with compromised immune systems that will end up with 20 TICA™ TREND * My name is Tabby and I will be with you in each issue of the Trend to give my advice to you from a cats point of view.* Please send your questions to: deartabby@outlook.com ************* In the Dec/Jan 2014 Issue of the TREND, mention was made of a product called “Stop-It” for ring worm. You can find this product at the following link: http://www.jkatinc.com/ "Stop It" is DioxiGuard 72 PLUS and is listed at the bottom of the page on the JKATinc. web site. http://www.jkatinc.com/page14.html DioxiGuard 72 PLUS kills ringworm spores on contact and the "Stop It" 2 oz. bottles were created for a TICA show in GA to acquaint exhibitors with the product. A breeder/customer suggested an easier name (Stop It) so people could remember it. She was right. Stop It and DioxiGuard 72 PLUS are the same product just different sizes. February/March 2014 * Volume 35, No. 2 Photos by Mara Kurtz OBSERVATION AT A CAT SHOW By Serina Stacholy, Junior Exhibitor Atlanta FantasTICAts At the Atlanta show on April 14-15th this past year, I witnessed something that I will never forget. The Bengal Congress was the last ring on Saturday. When our cat did not final, I was not jealous at those whose cats did final, but I was happy to see their success. As I watched the awards/finals, I had a feeling who would be the Best Cat in the Bengal Congress. When it came down to the top two cats and my friend’s cat, Avenir Mardi Gras of Belrouge was awarded the “Best Cat”, I could only feel joy and excitement for my friends Madison, Morgan, and Alisa Coffey at Belrouge Bengals because their cat supremed at the congress. I wish I could have gotten a picture of my friend’s, Madison, face when she saw Judge Kim Tomlin hang the “Best Cat” ribbon on Mardi’s cage. Her expression was priceless. I am so happy that Mardi supremed because I have watched him grow both in the show hall and outside of the show hall. I’ve played with Mardi at his house before; I am happy for my friends. Mardi is the first Belrouge cat to supreme, so this is extra special for his family. Madison and I have been friends for a while and met through cats, so we have a hobby we can both do together including the Junior Exhibitor Program. Madison wants to advance beyond the Junior Exhibitor Program and become a judge and so this completed one of the requirements. I am so proud of Mardi, Madison, Morgan, and Alisa that all I want to do is wish them the best of luck as we continue to show our Bengals together! Congratulations SGC Avenir Mardi Gras of Belrouge.

BRUCE ELSEY Helping Others is Their Business: Precious Cat Generates Precious Funds to Accelerate a Cure for Cancer Precious Cat founders Kathy and Bruce Elsey have made it their business to help others—literally! Drawing on a unique business model, the Colorado couple created a perfect way to share their success with the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and myeloma patients everywhere. The public knows veterinarian Bruce Elsey as the name behind "Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat" products, which include a range of intelligent cat litter items targeting specific feline needs. Founded in 1998, Precious Cat combined Dr. Elsey’s extensive knowledge of feline behavior with Kathy Elsey’s determination to see things through. Working together, they created a company that provides quality cat litters that helps cats live happier, healthier lives. When Kathy Elsey was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2009, the Elsey’s wanted to do everything they could to attain a cure. It did not take the couple long to understand the singular focus and tremendous value of the MMRF mission and to become actively involved through generous contributions. As part of this transformative commitment, they sought creative ways to effectively channel their ongoing assistance and simultaneously inspire as many others as possible to get involved. The answer came in the creation of a collaborative business model that supports the MMRF by matching a portion of purchases by supporters towards curing cancer. Through their generous contribution and this creative model, the Elsey’s and Precious Cat have funded nearly $6 million for discovering and advancing new drugs to help cancer patients. 2013 marks the third year of this collaboration and kicked off with a new $3 donation program for Precious Cat customers. From October 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014, Precious Cat not only gave customers a $3 dollar discount on Precious Cat Ultra, but made a $3 donation to the MMRF. Through their unique business model the Elsey’s hope to inspire other individuals and companies to initiate similar programs. By utilizing this approach, the Elsey’s and Precious Cat not only generate muchneeded funding, but help to educate the public about the vital mission of the MMRF—to drive research and drug breakthroughs in myeloma faster, to promote much-needed collaboration between industry and academia, and to empower patients in helping reach a cure. "Giving hope through prayer and action" - Bruce & Kathy Elsey As the Elsey’s demonstrate, opportunities abound for other entrepreneurs to combine their passion and business acumen to help fund a vital cause like cancer research, and ultimately find a cure, through the MMRF.

The International Cat Association (TICA) has thousands of members and hundreds of clubs around the world in Latin America, North America, Asia, and Europe that host cat shows all year. A genetic registry, TICA allows new cat breeds such as the Savannah, the world's favorite breed of cat the Bengal, and the Thai cat. Fifty five breeds of cats from the Russian Blue to LaPerm, Sphynx to Norwegian Forest Cat compete for titles and regional and international awards. TICA also was the first cat--and now the world's largest--registry to allow household cats and household kittens to compete for the same titles at cat shows and awards as pedigreed cats. BORN TO BE A CAT JUDGE TICA cat shows are fun. TICA cats are fabulous. And TICA members including junior cat exhibitors are friendly. The cat fancy and cat fanciers are all cat owners and cat lovers. Cat kids get to learn the ropes through our junior exhibitor program and new cattery breeders can learn more through TICA mentorship programs.
