    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.  |
