Question

Manya my cat
Hello,

Can you please tell me the breed of this cat? Some people think it is a pedigree. if it is not a pedigree then what are such cats called?  

Answer
I am sorry to have to tell you that it does not resemble any pedigree cats that I know of.  It looks to me like a very lovely Non Pedigree cat.  As to what they are called, across the world they have different names such as Non Pedigree, Household Pet, or Domestic.

Your cat looks lovely - I have a weakness for that colour.

Marcia.

Expertise

I can give answers on cat breeding and showing having 'served' over 30 years in this particular field. I head up a Yahoo Group and also a cat club (NBA Cat Club) devoted to educating novices in the correct way to breed, and also show with both GCCF and TICA on a regular basis, and am well versed with the show world, having been involved in the management of the major GCCF Supreme Show in the UK for over 25 years. Genetics however is not my strong point.
