Cat Ban

Post by Riddick » 03-10-2022 11:07 AM

This story is a week old but illustrates the lengths being taken to isolate Russia. Note while it singles out cats bred in, or owned by exhibitors living in Russia, it does NOT exempt the Russian Blue breed.

International Cat Federation Bans Russian Cats From Competitions & More

The international organization, which spans almost 40 countries, & considers itself “the United Nations of Cat Federations,” said “No cat belonging to exhibitors living in Russia may be entered at any FIFe show outside Russia, regardless of which organization these exhibitors hold their membership in.”

The federation, which was established more than 70 years ago, also said it would not allow cats bred in Russia to be imported or registered in any of its pedigree books. Officials said they would be donating funds to assist cat breeders in Ukraine and thanked neighboring countries for their efforts to help Ukrainian refugees.

Photos taken across Ukraine have shown families abandoning their homes, carrying their children and pets as they flee.

On social media Thursday, reactions to the federation’s ban — deemed by some as “cat sanctions” — were mixed. Some critics called the move “ridiculous.” Others, however, said that any act of solidarity — no matter how small — should be applauded.
