A cat breed is an Infrasubspecific rank for the classification of Domestic Cat s. A cat is considered to be of a certain cat Breed if it is True Breeding for the traits that define that breed. Only three percent of owned cats belong to a cat breed, and an even smaller percentage of those are suitable as Show Cat s. A registration certificate proves that a cat belongs to a cat breed by showing the cat's Pedigree back to at least four generations. The whole concept of cat breeds is a relatively new one. Two hundred years ago there was no such thing, however today there are almost a hundred cat breeds. Varieties Of Domestic Cat can also be identified by characteristics other than breed. See Selective Breeding for more in-depth detail on purebred animals. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
