Hmmm....
With paper (Cat registry paper) = pedigree
No paper (no prove of breed) = non pedigree.

This is find with LH cat that resembles more like Persian or Maine Coon or Birman or Ragdoll, you can call them as long as they have that look alike factor as : non pedigree Persian, non pedigree MC etc.

For shorthair?
If the Shorthair like an Aby, then of course we can call it non ped aby if it doesnt have pedigree paper...
What about the typical SH, with various color... the typical stray cats on the street? Non ped Exotic??

Why is it so hard to just accept the fact that cats without certificate from the cat's registry are called DOMESTIC CAT? It doesnt make it less a cat, it is sure as hell doesnt make the owner love them less, right?

So is that so hard? 2 types of cat in this world: Pedigree, domestic
And I love them both!
