The Aristocats Cat Club
|
 |
Welcome to the Aristocats, a UK all-breed cat club
affiliated to FIFe, with members all over the UK. We are full
members of Felis Britannica, the UK representative of FIFe, and as such
can perform all the administrative functions required by its members, eg
cat registration, litter registration, title validations, etc.
We hope you will enjoy looking
round the site and if you like what you see and agree with our objectives,
you'd be welcome to join us!

"Authors are sometimes like tomcats: they distrust all the other toms but
they are kind to kittens."

Calling all
Members!
We now have several pages where we invite members to either make
contributions, or just send in details of their cats that have successes
of one sort or another, so if you are a member and have entries for any of
the following, please do tell me
about it/them and see yourself and/or your cats immortalised online!
Roll of honour
- for cats that win top titles (EC, EP, DM, DSM, DVM, WW or JW)
Members Stories - if you have an
interesting cat-related story to tell - tell us!
FB Points Awards - for cats that are
mentioned in the annual winners lists
and, new next month - Show
Brags! For cats that have won BIS/BOX at any FIFe show
Send us details and pics and see your cat's name up in lights ...
well, coloured fonts, anyway!
And, of course, to all our breeder members - make sure you are listed on
our
Breeders' List
and that your available kittens are listed on the Kittens List, too! |

There's an update to the news release
about the FB Points Awards Winners on the News
page - don't get too excited, like everyone else we're still waiting for the
full list of winners, but we *do* have the other major winners listed along with
the Overall Winner, the gorgeous Taurus Goloubchik.
-
And following on from that, we have a
new page on the site - dedicated to honouring those Aristocats' members' cats
that are winners in the FB Points Awards - they don't have to be the top
ones, but if your cat has made it into the top ten in any of the various
categories/groups (and you know about it yet!), then please do tell me
about it, with a pic, and we'll put your cat up too! This includes the
previous years, too - I'll happily add sections for them if members would like
to see their cats on there!
-

British Shorthairs is our featured breeder this month -

Profiles page.

page - we don't have full details of the results of the 2007 Annual Points
Awards yet, but we do know that, the Overall Winner is ... well, you'll just

Needless to say, if you are the proud owner of a winner in any of the
categories, please do tell me
about it - we'll be happy to include your cat, too!
-
We've a new story on the
Member's Stories page, too - all about Vassiliy the

special story to tell, about a special day, a special cat or just something you
want to tell us, do tell me
about it and I'll put it in!

We have a new page on the site -
The FIFe Show Diary! As many details of the next couple of years'
shows as are known at this time, including which judges will be there and links
to the clubs' sites for further information. Update, May 2008:
unfortunately it proved too difficult to keep this page up to date, so rather
than have an out-of-date page on the site we've had to remove it entirely.
-
Anita Price of NoCoatOn
Sphynx is our featured breeder this month - read all about her and her cats at
Breeders Profiles.
-
Yet another new top title for an
Aristocat cat this month - and one that doesn't happen very
often, too! Unfortunately I didn't get the final details through in time
for this update, but watch this space (on the Roll of Honour
page) and as soon as I do get the information, I'll put it up!
-
You should have seen the invite to
the annual Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony that Eddie emailed out a
couple of days ago, but if not, there's a copy on the News

FOUR were made up to EC/EP (that I know of - have we missed any? Do

details. And one is particularly special - I'm told that EP
Sicorn Red Robin is the first Cornish Rex to make European Premier - so
special congratulations to Graham & Sandie!!
