History

Perspective
It was founded by "French cat-lover Madame Marguérite Miggy Ravel" in 1949.[3]
The federation was unofficially started in 1949 in Paris, France, at a meeting between the Fédération Féline Française (French Cat Federation), the Royal Cat Society of Flanders, and the Associazione Nazionale Felina Italiana (Italian National Feline Association).[4] At the organisation's first general assembly, in Ghent, Belgium, the federation was officially founded. For the occasion, all participants received a cat shaped statuette, in pink sandstone, that Marguerite Ravel had commissioned from the sculptor Jan Martel.[5]
The original name was Fédération Internationale Féline d'Europe (FIFE). In 1972, the Brazilian Cat Club (Portuguese: Clube Brasileiro do Gato) joined, making it necessary to change the Euro-centric name of the federation. The d'Europe (lit. 'of Europe') was dropped, and the abbreviation was changed to FIFé.[5]
