Technically, “folie à deux” refers to a rare form of insanity transmitted from one person to another. . . but it actually happened in 2006. That’s when Iris Tanner, who was then a CFA cat show judge, introduced her future husband, Bob Zinck, to her cats! Formerly a “dog person,” Bob quickly became involved with breeding and showing. Result: the evolution of Iris’s old cattery (“Silverlock”) and breeding program into Folie à Deux … a small, home-based cattery focused on producing both top show cats and healthy, loving pets.

Folie à Deux is built on over 30 years of breeding and showing experience, which includes not just our current Siberians and Turkish Angoras, but also Russian Blues, Orientals, Persians, and our newest obsession – Japanese Bobtails. But we must also note the true “owner” of the cattery, GP Gentlegift Ba Luu of Folie a Deux, a Korat who believes he’s the center of the universe!

After spending over 20 years as a cat show judge for the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA), Iris came to the conclusion that the organizational setup and philosophy of The International Cat Association (TICA) were more compatible with her values. She is now working on the requirements to transfer to the TICA Judging Program. Bob, a professional photographer and veteran CFA clerk, is now participating in the TICA Clerking Program.
