| the Non- pedigree cat these cats are can be acquired for very little or free. and in looks they are not much inferior to pedigree cats,,,however:............................... Non pedigree kittens are often taken from their mother too early, between 6 and 8 weeks old. Being taken away from home and the mother can result in a range of behavioral and boundary problems, that alot of owners learn to cope with or can't and they give the kitten or cat into another home, shelter.,. where they become more agrressive , more difficult behaviour and harder to adjust to the new home. They also can purchased at a Shelter ( SPCA) or a Pet shop...These shops do not offer any health guarantee, nor allow any observance to their blood lines...they will very often know of none...So cannot offer any help and to where their parents are from, or their history. History will tell you whether they have come from abuse or healthy , clean loving homes, Or just on the Farm. |
| The Pedigree Cat Buying a pedigree cat assures you of knowing the person who bred the kitten, knowing about the parents of the kitten, having complete health information, and proper registration forms along with a true evaluation of the quality of the kitten . Also, by buying from a breeder, you have someone you can call for advice or if you have questions. Even though you may want to get that special kitten as quickly as you can, you may find that you will have to wait. Also, responsible breeders rarely release a kitten to any home before the kitten is 12 weeks old. This is for many reasons including the fact that it is not until that age that all of the vaccines and deworming is done for your kitten . You will want to know exactly how the kitten was raised . The most important thing you should find out is how your kitten was treated during it's early life. Most buyers consider that this is a great way to check on cleanliness and to watch the cats in action which gives you an indication of their personalities A "registered" kitten is a kitten which has had its birth accepted for registration with one or more of the associations which register cats. A registered kitten is not the same as a show kitten. It is a guarantee of the kitten's breed and lineage. On the other hand, if a kitten is not registered, it is really not a "pure-bred". That is because without registration papers, you cannot be sure about the breed of its parents. ...So, buying a registered kitten means you have bought a pure-bred. It does not necessarily mean that the parents were show cats. It does mean, however, that the parents are also registered. A "show quality" kitten is different from a registered kitten. A show kitten is one which is registered and comes within the CCA and CFA breed standards, which can be shown in competition and will probably win titles or awards in competition. "Top Show" means that when a adult, the kitten is expected to be able to achieve a title of "Grand Champion"; "Show" means the same, but the title achieved would be that of "Champion"; "Pet Quality" means that, while the kitten is a pure-bred, the breeder believes that the kitten is not suitable for show competition against other pure-bred kittens for reasons in the standard. These include matters such as color size , skeleton, muscle tone. and other such as ears, tail, etc. ,cosmetic features, compared against the standards of perfection as adopted by a specified cat federation. Pet quality means that the kitten is, but merely not suitable for showing as a championship kitten.. |
