ABOUT TICA: The International Cat Association (TICA) was founded on June 22, 1979, by Georgia Morgan

and a handful of cat enthusiasts. Their dream of building the most progressive, flexible, and innovative cat registry in the world came true when TICA was formed. TICA is the world's largest genetic registry of pedigreed cats, and the world's largest registry of household pets. We are the first feline registry with a Genetics Committee that must first approve every new breed, color and pattern. We recognize 73 breeds and more new breeds than other cat fancy associations. Household pets can compete for the same titles and awards as pedigreed cats. Learn more about our breeds at https://tica.org/breeds/browse-all-breeds. TICA is a family of more than 11,000 members in 104 countries with diverse backgrounds, interests, and professions, but all speak the same language as “cat lover”. Members gather at cat shows and other social gatherings to celebrate all that is feline and fabulous with like-minded individuals from around the world. To find an upcoming show near you go to https://i-tica.com/ or a TICA-affiliated club near you go to https://tica.org/clubs/find-a-club. TICA also ensures the future of the cat fancy through our Junior Exhibitors Program and Mentoring Program by pairing experienced TICA Members/Breeders to mentor new exhibitors and breeders. Learn more about TICA’s Mentor program at https://tica.org/owners-breeders/mentorship-program and Junior Exhibitor program at https://www.tica.org/cat-lovers/junior-exhibitors. Breeders, exhibitors, and cat lovers are invited to join TICA and participate in the most progressive registry in the world. Our members, not clubs, are entitled to vote on all issues which shape the Association. Members are also entitled to belong to breed sections of their choice and may be eligible to be an elected officer. To learn more about TICA, download a copy of our Visitor Guide (https://tica.org/resources/our-publications/guides/file/171-visitor-guide) or visit one of our upcoming shows to experience the fun for yourself.

Did you know that a cat’s tail can speak volumes? Unlike dogs, who wag their tails when they're happy, a cat’s tail tells a different story. Just the other day, my cat, Luna 🐈 , sat by the window with her tail flicking side to side. A visitor reached out to pet her, unaware of the storm brewing. That tail wag was her way of saying, ‘Back off, human!’

And it’s not just the tail—watch those whiskers too! 🐯 When Luna gets scared, her whiskers flatten against her face. But when she spots a bird outside, they shoot forward, ready for the hunt. Cats have their own unique language, and learning it makes living with them all the more interesting. 🐾

‼️👉A message from a fellow pet parent 👇

"As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to protect our furry family members. 💖

Life is full of surprises—whether it’s an unexpected vet visit or a sudden mishap. That’s why having pet insurance has been a game-changer for me. It ensures that my pets get the best care possible without the stress of unexpected bills.

Here’s why I trust pet insurance: ✔️ It covers accidents, illnesses, and more. ✔️ It gives me peace of mind knowing I can handle whatever comes our way. ✔️ There are flexible, affordable plans that fit into any budget.

Our pets deserve the best care, and so do we as their caregivers. Invest in pet insurance, and focus on what really matters—more cuddles, playtime, and tail wags. 🐾✨"
