Nominations come from both within the judging program and from exhibitors and this year we were thrilled to be offered so many great nominations. All have been amazing contributors and ambassadors for CFA, so our decision was a difficult one. So hard, in fact, that we picked two.
Members of our Region 9 family, this year’s winners face the realities of the war in Ukraine as part of their everyday lives. While it would be perfectly reasonable – even expected for them to have focused on their own family and hardships, they have continued to help take care of both the CFA and Cat Fancy family as well as dedicating themselves to the rescue and protection of those without a voice – the displaced and injured cats in the war-torn region
They have dedicated time and resources to support their friends at Dobrokit and Vetexpert that are rescuing, feeding, providing medical car to the many cats that roam the streets of the Ukraine.

The Cat Fancy Alphabet
\"The Cat Fancy Alphabet\" is a new feature in Cat Talk. It highlights various terms and aspects of the cat fancy, educating fanciers new and old about our hobby.
UP CLOSE AND Purr-sonal
If there is one person, or even just a name, that anyone in CFA (Cat Fancier Association) knows, it would have to be Allene Tartaglia. It might be from her involvement with most aspects of the operations of CFA in her position of executive director. Or perhaps from her deep involvement with both the CFA Annual meeting and/or the International Show. Cat Talk thought it was time to learn more about one of the most key people in CFA.
Vision and Hearing Dysfunctions in Senior Cats
Just as people are challenged by having deficiencies with vision and hearing over time, so are senior cats. In senior cats, pet owners may notice their cats are no longer responding to them in the same way; however, it may be difficult to figure out.
Senior Cats and House Soiling
Why is my cat no longer using its litter box? Cat soiling in the house is one of the most talked about issues for pet owners.
Nutrition for Our Senior Cats
From the time they are born, our kittens receive a tremendous amount of care, with diet being at the core of their growth and development.

Alternative Arthritis Treatments for Cats
Just like humans, cats can experience arthritis. About 90% of cats over the age of 10 years experience osteoarthritis (OA) in at least one joint.1 It is a complex condition involving inflammation and degeneration of one or more joints and is sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease (DJD). Cats with OA experience pain and inflammation in various joints that interfere with daily activities.
