In different cat organisations are recognized different breeds for
championship, and different colours and patterns in the various breeds. One
can almost find as many different cat organisations as breeds in cats do
exist.
Also colours and patterns are sometimes called with different names in those
cat organisations. Grouping and distribution of breeds, colours and patterns
into different categories and show classes vary from federation to
federation. Cats can also achieve different titles in different cat
federations. If you plan to show your cats, make sure that you get the
necessary information about the various show classes, titles and types of
shows.The breed descriptions, given on this site, are not specific for a
certain federation, because also the standards (description, how an ideal
cat of a specific breed should look like) differ from federation to
federation. The desciption of a breed focuses on the main characteristics of
the breed, the description of the various colours and patterns gives an
overview. |
