Breeding and Showing Cats/un registered siamese male

Question
I have a beautiful Siamese mail, his mother was a lilac point and his father was a chocolate point.  They were in the home when I purchased him.  The problem is the parents were not registered and I am not sure if there is a way to get my Cinder Fella registered.  If not, if I purchase a female that is registered and breed them, can the kittens be registered?

Answer
Hi Karen

It is unlikely that any registry will register a cat with unregistered parents as a full Siamese, or even with one registered and one unregistered parent.  They will probably put them on what in the UK would be classed as the Reference register from which they would never progress.  It would mean that the kittens couldn't be shown or sold for breeding.

Your best bet would be to ask the breeder if they can get the parents registered and then register your boy.

Genetics however is not my strong point.
