Learn about Pure Breeding in Cats by Beverly Hill Pdf

A pure breed of cat is one that specifies the lineage of the cat, and means that it has no other breed mix in its blood or heritage than that which it is named. Many people who adopt or purchase a cat do not think in the terms of "purebred." They fall in love with the cat or kitten's characteristics, personality and behaviors. There are some, however, who have a particular breed of cat in mind when purchasing or adopting a cat. Maybe they fell in love with the look of a particular breed, or they need their cat to be hairless, such in the case of the hairless cat breed. Or perhaps they just like the status of saying they own a pure bred. When you get a pure bred cat, if purchased from a reputable cat breeder, you are getting a cat that has a long lineage of cats from the same breed. Every time a litter of kittens is born, each kitten is registered with the Cat Fancier's Association (CFA), and they can trace each kitten's heritage with registration papers to see its long history of pure breeding. Pure bred cats are mated with their like breed; for instance, a pure bred Persian with another pure bred Persian, and Siamese with a Siamese, and so on. There cannot be any other breed of cat in the lineage or the offspring will not be considered pure bred. One big misconception that's often made when speaking about cat breeds is with Calicos. Many people think Calicos are a type of breed when it is not. Calico refers to the coloring of a cat, and not a breed.
