Introduce CFA’s classification of cat growth:

1. Natural cat breeds

2. Fixed cat breeds

< p> 3.Mixed cat breeds

 4. Gradient

Let’s talk about the classification method of CFA cat bloodlines
Cats

We think it is normal growth, but in fact there is something different in the middle Total. For example: Persian cats are classified as "natural cat species". Therefore, in his pedigree documents, all his ancestors must be "Persian cats". As long as they are Persian cats, they can mate with each other, regardless of the coat color of the descendants. , might as well be called Persian cats. I believe this department can shed light on the question of whether Persian cats can mate with Jin and La. They are both Persian cats, so naturally they can mate, and their offspring can also be called Persian cats. However, only if they meet the "cat breed standards" "Only those who are defined are qualified to participate in the competition. For example: If some Jinjila does not have green eyes, then he can be called Jinjila, but he is not qualified to participate in the competition.

Therefore, some cat growers have created some laws. As long as they are followed, cats can retain their characteristics. This person will introduce Himalayan cats (certain introduction) - Himalayan growers , all use "single-color Persian cats" as the choice to match the improvements, and neither gold nor cats will be used, nor will they use bi-color cats, which is one of the self-discipline projects of Himalayan growers.

Next, the fixed cat breed: British Shorthair/Doll cat, is classified here. It is definitely "a cat whose parents must be of this breed", but what is different from the natural cat breed is that its ancestors may Not that kind of cat!

Very mysterious, right? ?

The third is the mixed cat breed: the result of the mating of two or more cat breeds, the combination is not necessarily based on rules, nor is it necessarily direct or direct...

The above two all introduce its wonderful features,

Metaphor: Burmese cat is a fixed cat species, so his parents are both Must be a Burmese cat. However,The Burmese cat is allowed to be used as a hybrid cat breed, so its descendants are likely to be: Bombay cat and Tonkinese cat.

A Burmese cat may be paired with a Bengal cat to produce a Tonkinese cat.

A Tonkinese cat may be paired with a Burmese cat to produce a Tonkinese cat.

However, To be called a "Burmese cat", both parents must be Burmese cats. Because the Burmese cat is classified as a "fixed cat breed", while the Tongqini cat is classified as a "mixed breed cat breed".

Similarly, the Haofy cat (short-haired Persian) is also classified as a "mixed breed cat". If it is mated with a Persian cat, the offspring will be called short-haired Persian "Exotic". Mao's right and wrong will not be revealed in the bloodline documents. However, only the short-haired coat can qualify for the competition. The long-haired short-haired Persian can no longer be called a Persian cat.

Let’s talk about gradual changes: the most famous one is the Scottish fold. The eared cat is purring~ All mutated cat breeds and mixed cat breeds, once they are mated with a certain cat breed, the offspring will be of that cat breed, regardless of its appearance.

Absolutely It’s impossible to say: American Shorthair is paired with folded ears. The kittens have classic tiger patterns, but the ears are not folded, so they are renamed "American Shorthair". Only those with folded ears are called "Folded Eared Cats". Probably, Exotic Shorthair is paired with Persian, and Long The situation of calling Mao "Persian" and short-haired "Exotic" is totally unacceptable...

Now that we have talked a lot, do you have an idea? ? The so-called "pure breed" is not justified in the development of breed cats...because the growth of too many cat breeds requires the use of cats of different breeds. And many of the growth we think of as "pure breed" , in actual circumstances, the offspring produced are not qualified to participate in the competition... Cats that are not qualified to participate in the competition will not have any other purpose overseas except for being used to "improve cat breeding"...

Looking back at home, because there are no huge cat shows or contract standards, no one cares whether everyone follows them... Anyway, the result of no one caring is that a lot of profits will appear in the market. Or the specious "Mix cat" with low quality, on the one hand, attacks the economic interests of formal managers, and on the other hand, it creates a trap to frame consumers. It is harmful to the healthy development of purebred cats in China and does no good.

I believe that when most purebred cat breeders got their first cat, they still had very vague ideas about purebred cats and gained very little knowledge.

If you don’t clarify many of your concepts, I believe you will be easily led away by others.
