TICA Annual in Hanover, Germany 2006

The 2006 TICA annual was the first to be held in Europe, so it was a truly historical moment for us Europeans. Almost 500 cats were entered and twelve Judges from around the world flew into Hanover, Germany.

TICA is the only organisation where the Maine Coon Polydactyl cat can be shown in anything other than the HHP section. With TICA the MC poly can be shown in the New Traits class, and this is the first step that needs to be taken to get these spectacular cats recognised as they should have been years ago. This was a truly historical moment for the MC Poly since the breeding of polydactly is banned by the German government (for more information on the German law please see the article here)

 

A number of members from MCPI went to Hanover to show their MC Polys, to meet the public and to generally promote the cats. A huge thank you must be said here to Vonne Bode for the huge amounts of preparation she did behind the scenes. MCPI members also helped make the promotion of the polys possible by their generous support in time and money.

MCPI members and their cats on the day are as follows:

Vonne Bode showing Silverfoot P
Yvonne Bode showing Silversocks P for his owner Gordon Pugh who was gallantly clerking on the day.
Bettina showing Ms. PC Mika of Peppermountz
Nympha & Carmen showing Ormedons Candy P Cookie
Kazandra showing Durango Z Matrixu
Sharon showing TLC Polycoons Butch P Cassidy & Jarnac Un G Rico P
Sandra van Kluiven showing Royalmainelys P Bandhu Dancer,
Also attendant at the show were, Deb & Justin who flew in all the way from Canada
And Henning from Germany

Altogether there were 18 New Traits compiled of 9 MC Polys, 1 British Long Hair, 3 Ragdolls & 5 Turkish Vans. All cats were chasing one elusive ribbon given to the best cat in the class.
