CHERYL HOGAN, an Approved Speciality Judge with TICA, has been judging since 1986, and is very involved in the world of cats, not only attending shows but also pet expos and veterinary conferences. Among other things, you can expect the interview to cover:

• What is TICA
• Ways Cat Shows Bring Families (Kids, too!) Together
• How TICA advocates for the welfare & health of all cats (not just pedigreed cats)
• Cat Personality & How Kitty Matchmaking Helps Keep Cats in Homes
• Why (and How) TICA Partners With the Cat Writers’ Association

The CWA hosts this interview in appreciation that the TICA qualified as an “early bird” sponsor of our conference events and a prestigious contest award, the KARI WINTERS RESCUE AND REHABILITATION AWARD presented at the CWA conference events, to be held in conjunction with BlogPaws Conference events in June.
