We have a new grand!

Nial that was one of the reasons why CFA is against Bengals - for the simple reason that someone DID show a 1/2 Bengal in the HHP classes and word got out about it.

I don't know when it happened or where, but that's what was said - maybe the person told another and a judge or someone told a judge and all H broke loose - so CFA totally bans any cat that has wild in the background now.

The lady will keep showing her in both CFA and TICA anyway.
She prefers TICA because you get titles for HHP and she also shows a Toyger.
I bet there are cats that are part Bengal being shown in HHP anyway.
It can not be proved if they have Bengal in them.
Another thing that is happening is people are getting mad because they come to the shows looking for breeds that are not allowed in CFA.
They get pretty mad when we tell them those breeds are not allowed.
I did tell a few people to come to Pleasanton to see the Bengals.

I've never seen anyone "mad" cause there was not a Bengal in a CFA show. Half the time they do think that Charlie and Jack are Bengals - dispite the fact that I have a sign on the pictures "I'm an Ocicat"

So we just tell them - "no he's an Ocicat, not a Bengal, CFA doesn't allow the cats with wildcat in the background in the showhall".

They never seem mad to me

They always think the Oci's are Bengals here.
The worse thing that happened was when a judge was asked if the Oci's were Bengals.
You should have seen the loo on the judges face.
That happened at Cleos first show.
My friend said she gets alot of people that get mad.
I only had it happen once to me.
There are 69 kittens entered at Sats show but I am not going on sat because my sisters sphynx is coming.
I like showing in both CFA and TICA.

Technically a bengal without papers should be able to be shown in HHP because it's parentage is not known. Then they could really have a fit.
