Do you know who Harrison Weir was? The man who arranged the first cat show in England, in Crystal Palace, London, 1871! He was also the one who wrote the first standards for the different varieties of cats. In 1889 he wrote a very interesting book about cats and the different breeds known at that time, Our Cats. In the history section of the PawAcademy we have published parts of this wonderful old book. |
One of PawPeds's goals is to increase the knowledge about the cat, its behaviour, care, and breeding. PawAcademy is now offering an Internet based education with the cat as focus. The education is given in three steps. The first step, G1, is for everyone, whether they are planning to buy their first cat or are cat breeders with a few years' experience. Welcome to join! |
