THE BREEDERS FORUM
promoting best practice in breeding
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE CAT FANCY "Forum 2010 was held on SUNDAY 18th JULY
and considered the changing needs, and systems, of older cats. Thanks to the
continuing support of the Feline Advisory Bureay we welcomed two lecturers from the
University of Bristol Veterinary School - FAB Feline Resident Rachel Korman
and Fort Dodge Felive Scholar Samantha Taylor (on her final engagement before the
arrival of her baby!) The support of the GCCF allowed us to intrduce a discussion
of the new Breeding Policy, ably explained by author of the document and member of
the Executive, Steve Crow
We were also pleased to welcome Lucy Brett from Ceva,who demonstrated her
knowledge of feline behaviour in an entertaining talk on problems familiar to
many breeders! The highlight of the day was the Parade of Fabulous Felines ....
The event was well received by those attending,
and once again the Club were
grateful to both the GCCF and FAB
for their support and endorsement
of this singular event in the Cat Fancy calendar.
