Letter from Vickie
Hello all!
Well, we're more than a month into the new show season.
On top of that, it's almost summer, and June is time
to adopt a cat or kitten.
We've listened to your suggestions about the newsletter,
and this month we want to introduce articles on a breed
-
the captivating Thai - and how to
care for your cats.
We'd also like to share information on
judging appointments, and announce a new fun contest...if
you advertise in the
Yearbook; you are automatically entered to win three
exciting gifts!
So enjoy this issue of TICA's newsletter, and don't
forget...the
Annual and Awards Banquet is just around the corner!
Happy Showing,
Vickie Fisher
President

Featured Breed: The Captivating Thai
The Thai is the breed dedicated to preserving the native
pointed cat of Thailand in as close to its original form
as possible. Thai is the official breed name in TICA and
in many registries in Europe, but the breed is known in
Thailand itself as the Wichienmaat and elsewhere as the "Old-Style
Siamese."
