Hmmpff. The world literally spun off its\u00a0axis and pigs began to fly.<\/p>\n<p>Well, thanks to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tica.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"> The International Cat Association <\/a>(TICA), peace is blessedly restored in our household and the earth can continue to revolve around its axis without further disruption. They have just released their <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.catster.com\/kitty-news-network\/2011\/04\/13\/whos-number-1-part-2-tica-announces-top-five-breeds\/\" target=\"_blank\">2010 list of the Top\u00a0Five Registered Cats <\/a>in the world (thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Catster<\/a>) and the\u00a0Bengal has made top billing as THE NUMBER ONE REGISTERED BREED! Please, so there is no confusion, let me say it again, the Bengal is the NUMBER ONE REGISTERED BREED around the world! So, take that, all of you beautiful, gorgeous, and delightfully personable Persians!<\/p>\n<p>Number two on the list is none other than the Ragdoll (number 4 on the CFA list), and number three, the lovable Maine Coon (number 2 on the CFA list), of which Mr. Jazz and Zee thank the TICA for respectively. Number four is the Savannah and number five is the Sphynx, which was also the number five cat on the CFA list. Now, for me, I love ALL cats and think they all have unique beauty, traits, and personalities that would entitle each and every one of them to be number one on the list. But, for those of us who have had to live with Zoey the past few weeks with all her sour grapes and pouting, we emit a heavy sigh of relief as once again, Queen Zoey reigns and she may rule the law of the land with her beautiful and dainty leopard spotted paws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing against Persians or The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA).
