The certificate is dated October 20, 2026; the joint announcement was published through IssueWire on October 22.<\/p><h2>Seven documented Kanaani cats<\/h2><p>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.<\/p><h2>Heritage and stewardship<\/h2><p>The announcement also discusses the House&#8217;s cultural connection with the golden cat described in Targum Sheni&#8217;s account of King Solomon&#8217;s throne. This is a symbolic cultural tradition, rather than evidence of a biological pedigree reaching back to an ancient palace cat.<\/p><p>For WKO, documented lineages, responsible care and international cooperation remain central to preserving the breed.<\/p><h2>The Certificate<\/h2><figure class=\"twko-certificate\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twko.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mikhail-salita-london-book-world-records-certificate-2026.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Open the full certificate\"><img width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/twko.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mikhail-salita-london-book-world-records-certificate-2026.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"London Book of World Records certificate presented to Mikhail Salita for documenting seven purebred Kanaani cats, dated October 20, 2026\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) calc(100vw - 56px), 680px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twko.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mikhail-salita-london-book-world-records-certificate-2026.png 724w, https:\/\/twko.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mikhail-salita-london-book-world-records-certificate-2026-212x300.png 212w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Certificate presented to Mikhail Salita &middot; October 20, 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure><h2>Press Release and Distribution<\/h2><p>The same announcement is available on the following platforms:<\/p><ul class=\"twko-source-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issuewire.com\/london-book-of-world-records-recognizes-royal-house-of-kanaani-linking-cats-to-king-solomons-throne-1879688601858071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IssueWire<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/bursakl.com\/announcement\/london-book-of-world-records-recognizes-royal-house-of-kanaani-linking-cats-to-king-solomons-throne\/567504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BursaKL<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/sukankini.com\/news\/london-book-of-world-records-recognizes-royal-house-of-kanaani-linking-cats-to-king-solomons-throne\/567504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SukanKini<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/gempakmedia.com\/news\/london-book-of-world-records-recognizes-royal-house-of-kanaani-linking-cats-to-king-solomons-throne\/567504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GempakMedia<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/malaysiantalks.com\/news\/london-book-of-world-records-recognizes-royal-house-of-kanaani-linking-cats-to-king-solomons-throne\/567504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MalaysianTalks<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A certificate recognising Mikhail Salita&#8217;s documentation of seven Kanaani cats, with the announcement and its international distribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-royal-house-of-kanaani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":154,"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153\/revisions\/154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twko.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
