Looking for a Purebred Cat?
For some cat lovers, a regular Tom cat just won't do. If you're seeking a feline with a distinguished pedigree, the best way to ensure you're getting a true purebred is to go through one of the national cat associations or their international counterparts.
To start your search, consider the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA). This organization upholds breed standards and registers litters as purebreds. They also host cat shows where cats are judged on how closely they meet these standards. Currently, the CFA recognizes 41 distinct cat breeds.
When breeders register a litter with the CFA, they decide whether their kittens will be bred further. Only cats with a specific pin number on their registration forms are eligible for this. This system helps breeders maintain and enhance their breeds. Once a litter is registered, each new owner must register their kitten individually.
The CFA categorizes cats into three classes: Championship, Provisional, and Miscellaneous. To compete for best in show, a cat must first win in its breed and class. The Championship Class includes well-established breeds, while the Provisional Class contains newer breeds under observation to ensure they meet standards. The Miscellaneous Class's single breed is still developing a breed standard and can't yet compete for best in show.
In Canada, the Canadian Cat Association offers similar registration. Formed by Canadian cat enthusiasts, this association allows registration without relying on international bodies. Other notable registries include the Traditional Cat Association, which favors original breed standards, the UK's Governing Council of the Cat Fancy, and the European Fédération Internationale Féline.
Cats are generally categorized as either short-haired or long-haired. Short-haired breeds include the Abyssinian and British Shorthair, while long-haired breeds feature the Turkish Angora and Norwegian Forest Cats. Among all these, the American Shorthair remains a favorite, having been in the U.S. for over 300 years. Through careful breeding, traits are consistently passed down to each generation. Other popular breeds include the Siamese, Rex, Maine Coon, Ragdoll, and Persian.
Opting for a cat with a pedigree means selecting a companion whose traits and characteristics are well-defined. While they're no more affectionate than other cats, purebreds can be cherished additions to any home.
