Reference excerpt

This is a complete list of cat registries worldwide. A cat registry's purpose is to register the pedigrees of purebred cats which are recognised by the organisation.

History The first cat registry and governing body of the cat fancy was the National Cat Club, set up in 1887 in England. The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) is the oldest cat registry today, formed by a merger in 1910 of the National Cat Club and the Cat Club, the latter founded in 1898 by Lady Marcus Beresford and later known as the [British] Cat Fanciers’ Association. From 1910, the GCCF became the unified governing body and registry for the cat fancy in the UK, and is widely regarded as the original prototype for cat fancy registries worldwide. During the 20th and 21st century many more cat registries have been established around the globe.

Present day The nine members of the World Cat Congress are regarded as the major and reputable cat registries for pedigree registration of cat breeds worldwide. The International Cat Association (TICA) recognises 71 standardised breeds, the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) recognises 44, and the Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) recognises 48. The New Zealand Cat Fancy (NZCF) recognises and registers 55 cat breeds.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of cat registries

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of cat registries claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of cat registries before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of cat registries ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of cat registries

In research: List of cat registries appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of cat registries in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of cat registries is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Cat fancy, Cat registries, Clubs and societies in the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of cat registries outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
