Only the cats of a real breeder receive a pedigree, that is, a document indicating their race. The pedigree is important for many other reasons, because it provides basic information on the health of the animal or its ancestors (usually up to four or five generations).

In the second case, there are costs for the preparation of the animal to participate in the exhibitions. The third alternative is the least expensive.
