On Friday 2 of August 2002, our annual general assembly took place in the
Dorint hotel near the Westbahnhof railway station. The members came also this year again
numerously, despite the summer temperatures.
After the welcome of the members and
the statement of the quorum the scrutinizers were elected . Mrs. Ioana Negulescu
- who worked already in this function several times - and our new member
Mrs. Jacqueline Gust were confirmed unanimously. The approval of minutes of the
general assembly 2001 passed and afterwards the board gave its reports. In the
area of exhibitions a very successful exhibition year 2001
could be reported. Statistic data were presented in a professional presentation,
whereby that it has to be particularly mentioned that the number of KKÖ-exhibitors raised
continuously. Also the development in the area of the pedigrees was very
pleasing, whereby this positive trend will also continue this year.

The auditors Mrs. Henriette Göppert and Mrs. Dr. Susanna Lenk examined the
books and emphasize the excellent bookkeeping and also the positive result. |

The board would like to thank the two auditors for their exact,
objective audit of our cash which was done with excellent knowledge.
Suggestions made by the auditors were implemented immediately. Starting from
15.8.2001 Mrs. Eveline Preiss stepped in as treasurer of the KKÖ, for which
she was discharged up to the end of 2001. Afterwards the discharge of
responsibility of the executive board took place. The executive board
would like to thank for the great confidence of the members of KKÖ.

accepted. With those adjustments, the tasks of the executive board are clearly described and the number of members of the board

Website.

After the elections the proposals
concerning breeding and health rules were discussed.
The breeding rules decided by the FIFe this year, which have been already part
of our breeding rules for several years, were specified more detailed. The
breeding guidelines of
the KKÖ will be split in three parts:
- part A health and well-being
of the cats,
- part B guidelines for husbandry and
- part C guidelines for
breeding.
They are also available online. It should be particularly mentioned
that the number of litters per queens are reduced to a maximum of 3 litters in 2 years
including the existing minimum period between the litters. Additionally the
decision was made pertaining that queens which had two cesarean births have to
be taken out from the breeding programme. Under item miscellaneous we had an
interesting and lively discussion, and the organization of our 3-certificate
ring show in Guntramsdorf was explained.

The general assembly ended - as already traditional - with an excellent
buffet, where still intensive talks about our common topic - the cats -
continued. |
