It’s finally listed on the CFA International Division (ID) Facebook!
There are 4 big clusters in the ID (excluding China) - Asia & Pacific, The Middle East & Western Asia, Latin & South America as well as Africa, yet the most competitive cluster has always been Asia & Pacific, with active competitive countries and city state like Hong Kong (the first CFA foothold in all of Asia after Japan), Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam & the Philippines (wish PH come back again soon)…
The 2025/26 CFA ID has seen a total of 40 Distinguished Merits (DM) made as a whole, and has taken up 1/4 of the list - 10 of them, and are all Russmania homebred prefixed DM.
This is the most DM record (10) made in a single cattery in the ID per season, with the 2nd most DM from a single cattery made in 2023/24 (7) and 3rd most DM made in 2024/25 (6) - all these ID records are from Russmania.
Today we have a total of , plus another 11 suffixed DM summing up to accomplished to date, with 4 breeding kings who are very close to their DM titles in the coming days ahead…
And there are also a total of achieved by Russmania, with another 7 co-bred grands and also 10 more suffixed grands we’ve accomplished over the last two-plus decades (since our first two grands - Pepe & Heavenly in 2005) - we have achieved a grand total of in Russmania since 2005…
And take it this way - there’s never been any corporate partnership in Russmania all these past years, no centralised sorta hierarchy gaming format adopted in our way of play…. There’s only one single crazy breeder with a bunch of super enthusiastic cat owners who have been having lots of fun in shows for more than 2 decades and we all aim to excel ourselves while the well-being of my fur babies is always paramount…
No centralised big boss, no subsidiary, no subordinate!
One cattery prefix, one breed, a helluva love, passion & stamina!
That’s how simple the whole thing has always been…
Am I proud of all these?!
Yes, a little - But I will dedicate all these moderate successes to the breeders who’ve helped us in the way, the owners of our cats for their dedication and involvement, the friends for their encouragement, the show partners (not subordinates) for their support and the many judges for loving our cats for such a long time - but most importantly to my wife Suzanne for her unlimited support and tolerance for my insane involvement in this money-burning, effort-draining & time-consuming hobby…
Oh last but not the least - our maids, especially Sami, at home have been doing a perfect job in keeping our cats & their living spaces super clean & tidy and feeding them super well too…
I guess I’m just the most blessed hobby breeder in this side of the planet - not for the money, but with an overload of love & passion for my breed to excel for glory and honour, this build a real legacy & become a legend!
CFA國際分區(International Division - ID)的Facebook頁面終於刊登了這個最新的資料！
CFA國際分區(ID)分為四大區域（不包括中國）：亞太地區、中東及西亞、拉丁美洲及南美洲、非洲。其中競爭最激烈的地區一直是亞太地區，這裡活躍著許多競爭激烈的國家和地區，例如香港（CFA在亞洲 - 除了日本之外 - 的第一個據點）、泰國、印尼、馬來西亞、台灣、新加坡、韓國、越南和菲律賓（希望菲律賓能盡快回歸）…
2025/26年度CFA國際分區共頒發了40個”傑出繁育榮譽”（DM）獎項，其中 就佔據了四分之一，10個，而且全部都是Russmania自家培育的DM。
這是ID單季單貓舍取得的最高DM記錄（10個），單季單貓舍DM數量排名第二的是2023/24賽季（7個），排名第三的是2024/25賽季（6個）！所有這些ID記錄都來自Russmania。
今天，我們共獲得了21個自家繁育的DM頭銜，加上11個非自家繁育的DM頭銜，總計32個”傑出繁育榮譽”頭銜。此外，還有4位種公貓咪也離開DM頭銜不遠了…
Russmania還獲得了170個自家繁育Grand頭銜，以及7個合作培育的Grand頭銜和10個非自家繁育Grand頭銜的挪威森林貓。自2005年Pepe和Heavenly首次獲得Grand頭銜以來，我們在過去二十多年內共獲得了187個Norwegian Forest Grand Champion or Grand Premier頭銜…
請記住，Russmania多年來從未有過集團式經營關係，也從未採用過任何中央權力的“老闆和合夥人”之類的等級制度…… 我們有的只是一位頗為瘋狂的繁育者，帶領著一群超級熱情的貓主人，二十多年來，我們一直樂此不疲地參加每一次貓展，我們都力求超越自我，同時，我們毛孩子們的健康福祉，始終是我們的首要任務……
沒有中央集權的老闆，沒有子公司，也沒有下屬！
只是一個貓舍”字頭”，只有一個品種 - 但滿瀉的愛、激情和毅力！
一切就是這麼簡單…
我會以這一切為榮嗎?!
的確有一點的，因為確實取得了一些小小的成就 - 但我要把這些小小的成功獻給一路以來幫助過我們的繁殖者們，獻給所有貓主人的奉獻和參與，獻給朋友們的鼓勵，獻給所有參賽夥伴（而非下屬）的支持，獻給所有評判們長久以來對我們貓咪的熱愛 - 但最重要的是，獻給我的妻子Suzanne，感謝她對我的無私支持和包容，讓我能夠如此瘋狂地投入到這項燒錢、耗時又費力的愛好中…
哦，最後但同樣重要的是 - 我們家的外傭姐姐們，特別是Sami，把貓咪們的生活空間打理得井井有條，而且也餵食得貓咪們非常”飽滿”🤣……
我想我大概是這世上最幸運的業餘繁殖者了 - 不是因為金錢，而是因為我對我的貓咪品種傾注了滿滿的愛和熱情，渴望他們在賽場上能夠脫穎而出，贏得榮耀，創造真正的傳承及傳奇！
