Process for the preparation of a catalyst and a catalyst comprising more than one silica is provided herein. Thus, in one embodiment, the invention provides a particulate FCC catalyst comprising about 5 to about 60 wt% one or more zeolites, about 10 to about 45 wt% quasicrystalline boehmite (QCB), about 0 to about 35 wt% microcrystalline boehmite (MCB), greater than about 0 to about 15 wt% silica from sodium stabilized colloidal silica, greater than about 0 to about 30 wt% silica from ammonia stabilized or lower sodium colloidal silica, and the balance clay and the process for making the same. This process results in attrition resistant catalysts with good performance. |
