Cat Days of Summer
June. So what "is June"? Weddings? Graduations? Summer
vacations?
Well, not for TICA and the cat fancy! It's time to announce
our winners for the last show season, and get ready to celebrate
our winners at the regional and annual awards banquets!
Make sure to check out the "to do" list below so you
and your kitty are ready to celebrate you and your friends'
wins!
June is also
Adopt - A - Cat
Month. If you can't adopt a cat or kitten (which can
be a great Household Pet to show!) from a rescue group or
shelter, or off the street or from a friend or neighbor
who can't keep their cat, then call your local shelter or
group to see what they need. You can still make a difference
by making sure the cats and kittens waiting for forever
homes have things to make them comfortable.
"TICA June" is packed with more exciting news. TICA cats
convened in Moscow, Russia. Cyprus held its first cat show.
Meet the Breeds promotions are underway.
June 21st may be the start of the summer. But for TICA
it's the start of three fun - filled summer months.
Keep kitty kool during the summer months,
Vickie Fisher
TICA President

Meet the Japanese Bobtail
Have you ever gone into a Japanese restaurant and been
greeted by a statue of a cat holding its one paw up, and
resting his other paw on a golden coin? That's the Good
Luck Cat (also called Neko) who is fashioned after the Japanese
Bobtail. The Japanese Bobtail traces its history back to
over 1,000 years ago and is depicted in famous paintings,
murals, pottery and statues found in Asia and museums around
the world. A natural breed originating in Japan, the Japanese
Bobtail has a chiseled head structure and stylized angular
lines, comes in both long- and short-haired coats, and is
known for its vibrant, rich mi-ke or tri-colored and bi-colored
patterns. The one feature that gave the Japanese Bobtail
its name is its bobbed tail that consists of a variety of
kinks and curves creating a pom-pom effect-like. Its tail
is like a fingerprint because no two tails are ever the
same. Active, intelligent, and athletic, the Japanese Bobtail
will entertain you with it s rambunctious antics.
