The Long Haired Silver Tabby Cat

(The books I publish are always proof read and corrected before publishing on Kindle! David Snode)

Among animals possibly the most perfect, and certainly
the most domestic, is the Cat. I did not think so always,
having had a bias against it, and was some time coming
to this belief; nevertheless, such is the fact. It is a
veritable part of our household, and is both useful, quiet,
affectionate, and ornamental. The small or large dog
may be regarded and petted, but is generally useless ; the
Cat, a pet or not, is of service. Were it not for our Cats,
rats and mice would overrun our house, buildings, cul-
tivated and other lands. If there were not millions of
Cats, there would be billions of vermin.


Since the foundation of the National Cat Club,
followed by the Cat Club and the British Cat Club, of
course cats have attained a more important position than
they formerly held, and not only are they raised in
popular favor, but have greatly increased in value, so
that specimens of sufficient quality to win prizes in their classes readily find purchasers at remunerative prices, and
I know of many persons, of both sexes, who keep well-
filled catteries to supply the demand created by the
shows.

In the early days, I should say long-haired cats were
decidedly in the minority, but for some years past I
expect for exhibition purposes more of the long-haired
have been bred than of the short-haired.
I have not the slightest doubt there are hundreds, if
not thousands, of cats running about the country quite
good enough to win prizes at shows, and to sell for sub-
stantial figures if their owners knew their value.
This I have proved on more than one occasion by
picking up specimens at different times in most unlikely
places, with which I have taken prizes at some of our best
shows.


IT has been suggested to me by many of my "catty"
friends that I should write a small handbook for cat
fanciers. I have had many years' ex-
perience with cats and kittens, and have also a real love
for them, without which I do not believe any one can be a
successful breeder and exhibitor of cats. What is worth
doing at all is worth doing well, and to combine profit with
pleasure is a most desirable end to have in view. The
object, therefore, of this little book is to assist cat lovers to
become cat fanciers. I trust that it may be found helpful
and instructive.


Here you will find a description of your cat along with judging standards and points, if you wish to show your cat.

This is a must have for all cat lovers and fanciers.

Silver tabby at the shelter. Silver tabby refers to color and not breed. At the shelter we do not get and registration papers so as far as breed goes most cats are listed as either Domestic Short Hair, Domestic Medium Hair, or Domestic Long hair. In other words they are randomly bread local street cats. This cat is quite unique and was adopted very quickly.

Taken at Matutinao, Badian, Cebu, Philippines I'm on my way home from Kawasan Falls ..then I saw this Tabby Cat staring at me..

A cute and charming Red Tabby Cat looking for some attention. This pair of hand-painted enamel on sterling silver cat earrings is designed by artist Marilyn Grame. It makes a great gift for the cat lover, animal lover or anyone who appreciates fine jewelry.Master artisans paint each article by hand using solutions containing colored granules of glass. Next, they fire the pieces in a kiln to produce an alluring richness of color. Some designs are then plated in 24-karat gold, and some are complemented with beads or semi-precious stones. This process creates the unique Zarah look. This pair of earrings is packaged in a silver box with a silver elastic ribbon. A gift ready to give!
