It is such a shame for a cat who look so much like a Cornish Rex to be called a domestic cat right? But that's the painful truth, no cert, no name calling, no matter how much we know it is by DNA testing is a Cornish Rex.

Again my question, if this Cornish Rex do not have certificate, can someone sell him at a higher price than the typical domestic cat price? Just because he is actually a Cornish Rex?

Same goes like Persians, just put an example here. I breed Persians, all certs with good, top show quality. I breed and I have kittens.
So I sell the kittens, perfect conditions, show quality etc, BUT I dont register.

Sure as hell people knows that my kittens are pure Persian, but can I sell them at RM2500 neuter, without the certificate? But they are Persians right? Why can't I see them at that price?

But if I just call them Domestic cats, I have no choice to sell them a lot more cheaper right, because at the end of the day, eventho ppl knows that they are 100% Persian bloodline, but if I sell them without the certs, they would still be a domestic. And it will be sooooo crazy to sell a domestic cat at RM2500!!!


But why, if you had proper ped cats and were breeding super-duper kittens, wouldn't you be registering?

The Cornish example is a doozey - you can't accidentally be a CRX lookalike... but non-ped CRX would be appropriate, I think.

And this brings me to another point. How many registered breeders in Malaysia (wherever) test their cats for heritable diseases likely to strike their particular breed? That's also a part of 'proper' breeding and is surely one of the things you expect from a breeder charging RM2,500 or so!
