Postings and Attitudes are Bad Publicity for CFA
Article 9a

Hi ----, It's people like ------- that make me look forward to a coming change in the future in CFA and the cat fancy as a whole. :) And it's yet another reason I'm kicking myself for not going to the TICA Annual! Going with the CFA discussion so far, I honestly have to bring up something that has been bothering me. So far it has been discussed that we bengal breeders must venture into "enemy territory" so to speak, bringing with us our friendly outgoing attitudes along with our precious rosetted fluffs. All this in hopes of gaining acceptance into one of the most established cat associations. And as a proud exhibitor, I would do this willingly.

Quite honestly, I feel there are many exhibitors among us who feel the same way I do, but the issue we are facing on our side of things seems more an absence of leadership and organization to encourage us. Where is ------- ----------? Where is TIBCS? I personally think that more people would be willing to help if the leaders of our community got together and helped organize specific events with CFA we could easily have more breeders willing to participate instead of pleading with everyone individually to do the same.

Give us direction. Give us organization. If CFA is willing, or even if it's just a growing percentage of CFA then we need to start discussing things on a larger scale. We the Bengal Community as a whole need to work together here. Organize a special CFA show with bengals exhibited, SPECIFIC ADVERTISED SHOWS. Get booths setup showing off our rosetted fluffies. Organize. Organize. Organize.
