History of the Javanese1986/87 - 1996/97 Show Seasons10 Years of Achievement! | |
| 1979 - At the time that early breeders petitioned for acceptance by CFA, they requested that their cats be registered as Balinese. CFA makes a distinction between Siamese of "pure" and hybrid ancestry (Colorpoint Shorthair)... because of this distinction, a new name was needed for the breed. Barbara Harr had already researched possible names and proposed the name Javanese, the next island over from Bali. It should be noted that the island of Java is the larger and more prosperous of the two islands. |
