President’s Report 2015
2015 was a very busy and overall successful year for CatsWA. We showcased WA during
the ACF National Show. The show was the highlight for the year and overall ran very well
with good feedback from exhibitors and judges. The committee all worked hard to make the
show a success and the help of everyone is much appreciated. Once again Damien
Heasman did a wonderful job with the computer program to accept online entries and
process the results throughout the day. I am not going to nominate anyone else individually
as it was a team effort.
We now have COAWA as an affiliate of ACF and we have all worked well together over this
year. It is a real advantage for WA to have two votes at the table for the ACF meetings.
The Fundraising committee did a wonderful job leasing up to the National show raising just
under $10,000. One issue that was evident that there is minimal support from members for
these events. We do need you to attend and bring along people from outside the cat fancy
as we can’t rely on the friends and families of the fundraising group.
Pamela Lanigan applied for another Lotteries Grant this year which enabled us to buy new
show cages. This meant that the National Show looked professional and was easier to set
up and pull down with individual cages rather than the heavy banks of three. Set and pull
down of shows is much easier now with many people having their own cages. Exhibitors
must be reminded that their cages must be cleaned between shows for the welfare of all the
cats.
A show venue continues to be an issue. We tried the Ellie Eaton Pavilion last year but the
lack of trestles and kitchen make it unsuitable. The safety of the cats is also at risk with there
being no safety door. It remains an issue that Cats WA (and ANCATS) are not allowed to
use the Davis Pavilion.
Membership numbers have remained level with some members leaving and new one
joining. Registration numbers for kittens also remain stable BUT I know that some breeders
are not registering all their cats and kittens. CatsWA has no income apart from Membership
fees and registration fees. Your association cannot continue if you don’t support it. It also is
not feasible for a very small group to raise funds that then need to be used for day to day
running costs.
Judges Training continued under the watchful eyes and guiding hands of Betty and Sue.
Lucy Nikiforos and myself completed our Junior assignments this year and we thank you all
for your patience. Pamela and Catherine did assignments for their Group 2 and hopefully will
sit their exams soon. Lucy and I will study Group 1 this year and Leanne will complete
Group 2, to make her the first All Breeds judge trained by CatsWA in many years. Jane
Horstman is completing her Junior assignments for Group 3. Anyone interested in preparing
for judges training please speak with Betty Payne s we need more judges for the future.
As we move forward to 2016 I ask that you get involved in the association in any way that
you can.

SECRETARY REPORT
We have held our own in 2015, with some 130 members – including doubles, Singles, Associates,
Breeders and Show enthusiasts. The ACF 2015 National show hosted by CatsWA was a huge and
successful event and generated a lot of interest in the cat fancy. But it is our own Breeders, when
they are selling their lovely kittens, who encourage new members – and this is where the majority of
our new blood comes from.
The CatsWA Stand at the Perth Pet Expo 7-8 Nov 2015 was very worthwhile – putting our name and
activities and our cats right in front of Pet Lovers.
We do our best to keep our membership list accurate, and especially our emails. Email communication and documents available via our Web site are the way to go. With limited resources it makes
sense to use this system. We understand some people are not keen on emails or printers and we
try to copy and print hard copies of Cat Call etc for these people. But I am sure all will appreciate
that this takes extra people power – which we don’t really have.
Thanks to firstly Lee-Anne, then Diana (both as office admin and Back Up Registrar) and now Judy
for their assistance in the office. It is important and interesting work. We need an organised and
experienced mind in the office. Unfortunately although I would love to do so, I just do not have
enough time to give. Maybe when I retire !
My personal thanks to Carole Galli who despite ill health and a new knee as kept going as Registrar,
and as our President. Council has met regularly, and sometimes voted per email on appropriate matters of urgency between meetings. It has been a busy but harmonious year for Council. 2015
Councillors were:Carole Galli, Linda Horton, Maree Carle, Sue Game, Michelle Harris, Judy Kluczniak, Janis Thomson, Lucy Nikiforos, Lee-anne Pitman Pryde and Rod Pattinson resigned due to other commitments
during the year.
Carole is our Executive Member on the ACF and was appointed ACF Secretary in June 2015 – which
takes a lot of time and diplomacy.
Linda Horton as our Vice President and PR person is a great administrator. She does our quarterly
Magazine CAT CALL, and she keeps us informed via email and Facebook. She takes fantastic photos! Linda remains our main contact with the WA Local Government.
Michelle Harris has done her best as Treasurer. We are able now to pay bills per Internet Banking
as well as the ‘good old’ cheques. One major issue is that some folks who pay per internet banking
do not reference their payments. A simple “show entry”, “titles”, “kitten Rego” are essential.
Paws and Claws, WA Cat Club and British Shorthair Cat Clubs have run shows, and the Southern &
Siamese Cat Club joined forces with CatsWA for the delightful Osborne Park Show. CatsWA Council members have run the others. Our members have supported the shows very well and there have
been some absolutely stunning cats on the bench notwithstanding the overall standard of WA bred
cats is excellent. We need our other clubs to get their members together and hold shows next year.
Spread the load if we can. 2016 Dates have been reserved for shows – just put up your hand –
contact the respective club / show secretaries!
I thank all my fellow Councillors for their support.

Auditors' report to the members of CATS WA (Inc)
I have audited the financial report of CATS WA (Inc),for the financial year ended 31 October 2015, consisting of the
statement of financial position as at 31 October 2015 and the Balance sheet for the year ended on that date and
other explanatory notes .
Council member’s responsibility for the financial report
The Council members are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance
with the requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act (WA) and the needs of the members. This
responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting
and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the
circumstances.
Auditor's responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on my audit. I conducted the audit in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These auditing standards require that I comply with relevant ethical
requirements relating to audit engagements and planning and I performed the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
that the statement is free from material misstatement.
10
Auditors' report to the members of CATS WA (Inc) (cont’d)
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence that the amounts and disclosures in the statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement including the assessment of the risk of material
misstatement whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments the auditor considers internal controls
relevant to the entities preparation and presentation of the statement in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of an entities
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statement.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
Qualifications
Cash Takings
As is common in organisations of this type, it is not practical to establish control over cash takings prior to entry in the
accounting records, nor is it practical for me to perform other auditing procedures to satisfy myself that all contributions
have been received and recorded. Accordingly, my audit relating to cash takings was limited to the amounts recorded in
the Income and Expenditure Statement and no opinion can be expressed on the completeness of cash received (i.e.
Office takings and Fundraising Activities).
Cash Deposits and Receipts
Audit was unable to verify the nature of deposits of $9,235 which was unclassified in the Financial Statements. As a result
I was unable to form an opinion on the accuracy and completeness of financial statement classifications in relation to
income such as membership fees. Two payments were also noted made by Internet Transfer which remains unclassified
totalling $246. Audit further noted that supports were not always available for payments
National Show Accounts and Fundraising Bank Accounts
The net cost of the National Show is incorporated into the Cats WA accounts and the bank accounts reconciled however
the source documents for these accounts have already been submitted to the governing body at the time of the audit for
their review. As a result no opinion is given as to the supports (both income and expenditure relating to this account).
Cats WA opened a fundraising account in 2014 and the net income of this account has been incorporated into the
Financial Statements. However supporting documents relating to this account were not provided during the audit review
and no opinion is given in respect to the fairness, accuracy and completeness of transactions in this account.
Opinion
In my opinion, the Income and Expenditure statement and Balance Sheet of CATS WA (Inc) for the period 1 November
2013 to 31 October 2015, with the exception of the qualifications noted above presents fairly in all material aspects the
financial position of the CATS WA (Inc) and complies with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in
note 1.
Basis of Accounting and Restriction on distribution
Without modifying my opinion, I draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report, which describes the basis of
accounting. The financial report has been prepared for the purpose of fulfilling council members reporting
responsibilities under the Associations Incorporation Act (WA). As a result the use of this financial statement is not
suitable for any other purpose.

The AB system is the major blood group system in domestic cats. The common blood types are A and B. Cats
with blood type A have naturally occurring anti-B antibodies at a low titer and cats with blood type B have
naturally occurring anti-A antibodies at a high titer. A third rare type "AB" is also known.
Because of the high levels of anti-A antibodies in Blood group B cats, it means that if a type B cat were to
receive blood from a type A donor, this could cause a severe and even fatal reaction because the immune
system would recognise the type A blood as 'foreign' and attack it.
This is an important topic for breeders as a blood group incompatibility can have devastating consequences for
a litter if not managed properly.
There are numerous resources available and a good start would be to read articles on line such as the ones
listed below
http://icatcare.org/advice/cat-health/feline-blood-groups-and-blood-incompatibility
http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/abblood.php
If you are a new breeder, then one of your greatest resources is the experienced breeders who would be
happy talk about the strategies that they have used in dealing with this issue.
Sue Game has relinquished her position on
Governing Council due to work commitments.
Sue has been CatsWA Secretary for the past few
years and we appreciate all her time and effort.
Thankyou Sue!
Thankyou to Oz-Pet for their ongoing support.

What is Tritrichomonas foetus?
Tritrichomonas foetus (T. foetus) is a flagellated protozoan similar in size to the better
known protozoan, Giardia. T. foetus is a parasite that can only survive in warm, moist
anaerobic (without oxygen) environments such as the gastrointestinal tract or the
genitourinary tract of its host.
In cats, T. foetus lives in the ileum (a portion of the small intestine) and the large
intestine causing a chronic foul-smelling diarrhea. T. foetus infections are most
common in circumstances where there are large numbers of cats.
T. foetus is better known to cause venereal disease in cattle herds that are naturally
bred.
Which cats get T. foetus and how do they contract it?
Because of the increased density of animals, cats that originate from animal shelters or catteries are at the greatest risk of
infection. Usually T. foetus infects younger cats. However, older cats may develop an infection and become asymptomatic carriers
of this organism.
What are the symptoms of T. foetus infection?
Infected cats often have episodes of chronic, foul smelling diarrhea. During these episodes the diarrhea is frequent and relatively
small in volume. This kind of diarrhea is characterized as 'large-bowel' diarrhea. The feces often contain mucous and sometimes
fresh blood. The diarrhea is often characterized as 'cow-pie' like. The appetite is generally not affected, and cats do not exhibit
weight loss. Older cats may be infected without demonstrating any symptoms although they can and do spread the infection.
How is T. foetus diagnosed?
There are four methods recognized to diagnose T. foetus:
Direct smear: In performing a direct smear, a fresh sample of fecal material is collected and examined under a microscope.
Because T. foetus is an elusive organism, several samples may need to be examined.
Culture: Culturing this organism requires a specially designed culture pouch. This is a special test designed to grow T. foetus in
large enough numbers to allow its identification.
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): PCR is a DNA test. This test detects the DNA of T. foetus. This is a rather complex
test that is usually performed at a specialized laboratory, but it is the most sensitive test.
Biopsy: Biopsy's are by far the most invasive test and are usually reserved for cases where the other diagnostic tests have
been tried without success. This test requires a large sample size and some special tissue stains.
What is the treatment for T. foetus?
There is only one medication that has been used successfully to treat T. foetus: ronidazole. This medication is not labelled for use
in cats and requires a prescription by a veterinarian. It is usually given for 2 weeks. Ronidazole, especially if given at too high of a
dose, can be toxic to the nervous system of cats, causing loss of appetite, lethargy, incoordination, and possibly seizures.
As a result of the infection with T. foetus, the lining of the cat's large intestine will become inflamed. This inflammation usually
lasts beyond the point in time when the T. foetus has been killed. What this means is that the diarrhoea may continue beyond the
point when the organism has been eliminated.
If a cat diagnosed with T. foetus lives in a multi-cat household, all cats will need to be tested, and treatment and temporary
quarantine of other cats may be necessary.
If a cat infected with T. foetus lives in a situation where the density of cats is low, it is very likely that the diarrhea will resolve on its
own within two years post infection. However, over half of these cats remain PCR positive and may serve as a source of infection
for other cats.
Often the diarrhoea caused by T. foetus is accompanied by another pathogenic organism such as Giardia or Cryptosporidium.
When treatment of T. foetus is considered, these secondary organisms need to be treated as well; often requiring a separate
medication. Unfortunately, the medications that are typically used to treat other protozoal organisms are not effective against T.
foetus.
Summary
T. foetus is an emerging cause of diarrhea in cats. It is most often acquired in high-density situations such as catteries or animal
shelters. Infections with T. foetus can be accompanied by other organisms. There is a treatment for T. foetus however, it requires
the assistance of a veterinarian. In situations where the density of cats is low, the diarrhea may resolve without treatment within
two years. Cats whose symptoms of diarrhea have resolved may become asymptomatic carriers of this organism

CONGRATULATIONS
To Janis Christison who judged here in Perth in April. Her Russian Blue ACF AoE
SDGC Kimara Blu Shimma Kinda Special lived up to his name and proved how special
he is by winning Supreme at the 2016 ACF National Cat Show which was recently held
in Brisbane.
The fact that “George” was bred by our own Lucy Nikiforos makes the win even more
“Kinda Special” to all of us here in WA.
Fantastic result Janis, Lucy and George!
Congratulations also goes to Maree Carle, whose Russian kitten “Tachali Blue Hope”
was awarded Best Group 3 Kitten at the show. Another wonderful result against strong
competition. We already knew there were fabulous Russians in WA, and here is further
proof for the whole of Australia to see!
There were a number of people who headed to Queensland from WA as exhibitors or
as participants in the running of the show. Well done to all, you did CatsWA proud!

CAT SHOW ETIQUETTE
Cat Shows—they can be confusing. There is a whole lot of rules that no-one seems to tell you and things
just seem, to “happen”. Well, here a few “dos and don’ts” which might help.
During judging
When cats are being judged, there are many people listening carefully for the judge’s commentary on their
cat. Please keep talk to a minimum while there is a cat on the bench as it can make it hard to hear and
could be distracting for the judge.
Avoid walking directly in front or behind the judges table when there is a cat there. Not only is it distracting
for the judge, but it also may startle the cat. Sometimes the hall is a bit crowded and the only way through
is past a judge’s bench. Please wait between cats before making your move.
Please make sure that you have your mobile phone on silent. If you do need to take a call, move away from
the judging areas.
Please do not use a flash if you are taking any photos. Avoid getting too close to the bench.
Please do not strike up a conversation with a judge during judging unless the judge initiates it. If you have
questions, please save them until after the judging is over.
Judges and their decisions
When your cat is out on the bench, the judge will be looking at him or her and assessing whether they meet
the standard for that breed. You can find the standards for your breed of cat on the ACF website or by
following the link here http://www.acf.asn.au/index.php?page=standards
All of our judges have been through an extensive training program and so have a good understanding of
the standards, but just like the way that art is interpreted, each judge will see things slightly differently.
Some of the standards are absolute. If a cat’s eyes are supposed to be blue and they are green, then that
is fairly clear that the cat does not meet the standard. However, if the standard says a blunt wedge, or a
well-balanced body or medium size, there is lots of room there for interpretation. Usually a judge will be
looking at the overall balance of a cat. Do all the individual components work well together? You may have
a cat with the most stunning eye colour , but if the head is slightly out of proportion to the body, then your
cat may not do as well as another cat with less amazing eyes but with an overall appearance that is a
better fit with the standard.
When you and the judge are in agreement that your cat is spectacular, it is exhilarating. When they are not,
it can be disappointing but you can choose how you respond to that information. Most judges are happy to
talk to you after the judging is finished. Approach it as an opportunity to learn. The judge is entitled to their
opinion as much as yours and they have used their training and experience to come to that decision.
Furthermore, they have been invited by the host club to come and share their knowledge with us in judging
at our show. While you are welcome to ask, the judge’s decision is final. If you are a breeder you may
decide to incorporate the judge’s view into your breeding program, or you may choose not to. Whatever you
decide to do with the outcome, it must be done fairly and respectfully. There is nothing wrong with a
general discussion about the direction that the breed is taking. However, what is becoming increasingly
common, is a public and personally targeted debate about specific decisions. The use of social media
allows these discussions to quickly escalate into full blown personal attacks which goes against the
CatsWA code of conduct of respect and fairness. Luckily we have not seen a lot of this here in WA, but it
could easily happen.
If you are not happy with a decision that a judge has made, talk to the judge themselves to get an
understanding for the basis of the decision first. If you feel that something has been dealt with unfairly or
that there are serious implications for the future of your breed, then please talk to your Governing Council
21
members to discuss next steps.
CAT SHOW ETIQUETTE (Cont’d)
Around the hall
If see an empty cage with its door open, move away as there will be a steward coming back soon to put
a cat away. You don’t know whether the cat is relaxed, or a bit anxious about being out, so please let
the steward have a clear path to the cage. Do not close the door.
Anyone carrying a cat has right of way.
Please do not open your cat’s cage while judging is in process. If you have a litter box emergency, you
can ask a steward to help.
If you hear a call of “Cat Out” and are near an open door, please close the door. Stay still where you are
and let the owner and steward deal with the escapee cat. A hoard of helpful people trying to catch a cat
is just likely to cause further stress to the situation.
Please move around the hall quietly and calmly and if you have children with you, encourage them to do
the same. Loud noises and sudden movement can be very upsetting for a nervous cat and we want the
day to be pleasant for everyone involved, whether feline or human!
More information about shows, and show behaviour is available in our show rules and code of conduct
or please speak to a member of Governing Council.

This year we are doing the Cat of the Year points a little differently. The basic points are the same, in that you get 25
points if your cat is awarded first place in the Cat of the Year competition, and 15 points for reserve. However, we are
no longer awarding points for the challenge, and instead are giving a point for each cat that you have placed ahead of
in your category. That means that if there are 10 eligible group 1 entire cats and you are placed first, you will receive
25 points plus 9 for the cats that you were ahead of. The cat placed second will get 15 plus 8 points.
This is a bit more tricky from an administrative point of view, although appears to be a fairer method of calculating the
result.
For example, here are the group 1 results from the show in April.

There were 7 Group 1 kittens entered, but 2 were absent, leaving 5 for the judge to consider. The “Actual” column
refers to the number of cats who were actually there at the show. Cat 12 was awarded first place in Ring1 and Reserve
in Ring2, So in Ring 1 this cat did better than 4 other cats, and in Ring 2, better than 3. giving a total of 40 + 7 points.
Just a reminder that this competition is only open to CatsWA members and can only be applied to CatsWA registered
cats.
Show secretaries—this method does mean that the Show Points Coordinator needs to know the eligible cats in each
category and also who the absentees are. A template of the above is available if this would make recording the
24
information easier.
