Library of Film Clips

This is where, from time to time, the Editors will deposit articles of an historic nature, relevant to all matters 'feline'. The range of topics could be broad, covering such things as feline health, the history of a specific breed or even a specific color or pattern within a breed.

The library is open online resource, for everyone who is a cat fancier, whether you own a cat or not, whether you belong to a club or not, and regardless of your affiliation. Our aim is to educate, in a spirit of transparency and healthy debate, and to share that learning with all who are willing to participate.

We hope you enjoy this compilation of film clips!
