2014 Membership Ballot Detailed Results

2014 Maine Coon Breed Poll

Poll Results

  • 53% voted YES, I accept the changes

Poll

  • I accept the changes to the Maine Coon Standard as: “Feet: Large, round and well tufted. Add: Polydactyl allowed – maximum of 7 toes on any foot.”
  • YES, I accept the changes.
  • NO, I do not accept the changes.

2014 Scottish Fold Breed Poll

Poll Results

  • Do you want Scottish Straights (the straight eared cats born in typical Scottish Fold litters) to be advanced to a Championship breed?
  • Rational: This would make the Scottish Straight a separate breed from the Scottish Fold but still with the same outcrosses as the Fold. This would change nothing other than to allow us to show and title our straight eared Folds. It would be like having a longhair and shorthair in the same litter where one is a Scottish Fold and one is a Scottish Fold Longhair. They are the same but have different names and compete separately. There would be Scottish Straight and Scottish Straight Longhair. These cats are recognized and handled this way in at least 5 other associations worldwide.
  • PASSED
