REGISTRATIONS
Since there are so many cat associations -- registering can be confusing. So we've decided to do a special article on just that.

CFA Litter registration (the litter can be split).
Somalis - register as a LONGHAIRED ABYSSINIAN
SH. Abys - register as an Abyssinian

note: When individual registration slips are received from CFA specify longhair on those that are longhair before giving the new owner the slip.

CFF Litter registration (no splitting of litter)
The entire litter must be registered as SOMALI, regardless of whether or not they're long or shorthairs.

ACA Litter registration (no splitting of litter)
The entire litter must be registered as SOMALI, regardless of whether or not they're longhair or shorthairs.

CCA Litter registration (the litter can be split)
Somalis - register as SOMALI (LONGHAIRED ABYSSINIAN)
SH. Abys - register as Abyssinian

ACFA Litter registration not necessary - split litters allowed. A longhaired kitten can be registered, but only as a LONGHAIRED ABYSSINIAN

UCF UCF will not accept any registrations until a Somali is shown UCF.

CROWN Not Necessary to litter register. If you plan to show CROWN, individual registration is required. Register as a Somali in CHAMPIONSHIP status.

ICF Not necessary to litter register. Individual registration required to claim ICF CHAMPIONSHIP. Register as a Somali.

NCFA Same as CROWN and ICF.

Please put this list is a safe place - for further reference!

SCCA had "Moon" at the CFA Madison Square Garden show 3/15 & 16 (to represent the Somali). Many people showed favorable interest and our list for kittens increased.

(reference is to ruddy male Somali June's Dancing Moon, who was the club's logo cat.)

CCA Special
1.Enclosed you'll find a CCA membership form. Please fill it out and mail it to Dorothy Lamb (with the fee). Next, xerox your membership card once you receive it. Please mail the xerox to E. Mague.

2. We need a xerox of each Somalis pedigree. Once again, please mail the xerox to E. Mague.

3. Lastly, we need a xerox of each Somalis CCA Certificate of Registration. (the one with the big gold seal)

If you have already done any of the above, great. Then all that's to be done is to xerox and mail the xerox's. But please don't delay, this is a lot of information to gather together (from a lot of different people). The earlier this starts coming in the easier it will be when the time comes to apply for recognition.

With the start of the new show season, we have a new goal. The focus of our attention is recognition in CCA (championship status). To obtain this goal we are asking the cooperation of all Somali owners

All Somali Cat Club members are urged to join CCA as a member. Dues are $5.00 for a single, $7.50 for family membership (we recommend a family membership - it counts as two people). Be sure to designate your breed as Somali.

Somalis have done well this past year. They achieved championship status in *three of the eight associations (with our help). They have gained many new friends, just look at how our membership list has grown. Our membership list has more than doubled since the first newsletter last June. Not bad!

It is now time to name the TOP FIVE SOMALIS OF 1974. We counted the points and came up with the following:
