London Book of World Records Recognises Seven Documented Kanaani Cats
London Book of World Records has recognised Rabbi Mikhail Salita for documenting seven purebred Kanaani cats registered with the World Cat Federation. The certificate is dated October 20, 2026; the joint announcement was published through IssueWire on October 22.
Seven documented Kanaani cats
The recognition highlights documentation and preservation of the rare Jerusalem-origin breed. The certificate names Salita as founder and Royal Custodian of the Royal House of Kanaani.
Heritage and stewardship
The announcement also discusses the House’s cultural connection with the golden cat described in Targum Sheni’s account of King Solomon’s throne. This is a symbolic cultural tradition, rather than evidence of a biological pedigree reaching back to an ancient palace cat.
For WKO, documented lineages, responsible care and international cooperation remain central to preserving the breed.
