Is Your Cat Show Ready to Accommodate Children?
Cat Talk|October 2023
In this new era of social media, our target cat show guests (women aged 25-49) may be accompanied by children who are more excited than their parents to see the cats.
Is Your Cat Show Ready to Accommodate Children?

With today's families highly focused on catering to their children's needs and interests, clubs that can find ways to attract and accommodate these children may very well see it translate into a larger audience and a healthier bottom line.

A Warm and Fuzzy Alternative to Electronics

In the past, children played outside and did their own activities often without much parental oversight. These days, parents are much more involved in their kids' daily activities and often struggle to pull them away from electronic devices and the current virtual world. Activities that are geared toward both parents and children are increasingly popular, so if you want to attract families, you must cater to both parents and children.

UP CLOSE AND Purr-sonal

If there is one person, or even just a name, that anyone in CFA (Cat Fancier Association) knows, it would have to be Allene Tartaglia. It might be from her involvement with most aspects of the operations of CFA in her position of executive director. Or perhaps from her deep involvement with both the CFA Annual meeting and/or the International Show. Cat Talk thought it was time to learn more about one of the most key people in CFA.
