These rules are general guidelines and should be adapted and followed as far as local circumstances and culture allow.  \nBreeding  \nCats with a congenital abnormality may not be bred from and may not be sold for breeding. Cats with different mutations may not be bred together creating kittens with 2 different mutation in the same kitten.  \nEach WCF member club decides, with the guidance of it’s judges, on the local outcrossing allowances and inbreeding programs, within the rules of the WCF and according to the local government laws.  \nFull brother-sister matings are not advisable and should be strongly discouraged.  \nEach WCF member club may accept any breed recognized by a WCC member for registration and shows. They may receive all WCF titles. The WCF member clubs have the autonomy to refuse any breeds not recognized by WCF as they wish.  \nCatteries  \nThe breeder must be a member of a WCF-Club. The cattery must have a registered WCF cattery name. All information such as the name of breeder, address, breeds, etc. have to be current and updated as soon as there are changes.  \nThe registering breeder/cattery must be the legal owner of the dam and be able to prove ownership. The breeder/cattery has to follow the WCF-and member club’s breeding rules and the local government laws concerning the protection of animals, including the commercial registration of the cattery and breeding stock, where required.  \nHusbandry  \nThese guidelines include the adequate feeding, hosting and general care of cats. At least the minimum standards according to the animal protection law  \nof the breeder’s resident country have to be me. The cattery and cat runs have to be of adequate size and offer protection against heat, cold and drafts.  \nThey should allow enough natural daylight and be maintained in a good state of repair andstandard of hygiene. If possible, the cats should have access to a secure garden environment. Regular human contact and socialisation must be provided, as well as the encouragement of natural behaviour, like scratching, hiding and playing.  \nRegisters (Stud Books)  \nIt is recommended that clubs keep a Full Register as well as a Supplementary or Experimental Register. The Full Register may also be referred to as the LO (Livre d’Origine) Register and the Experimental Register as the RIEX (Registre Initial et Experimental) . Cats registration numbers should have an identification code indicating on which of the two registers they are registered.  \nCats on the Full Register should be of a breed, pattern and colour officially listed in the WCF Standard of Points and must have at least 3 generations of the same or related breeds:  \nThe kitten itself as generation 0, the parents as 1st generation, the grandparents as 2nd generation and the great-grandparents as 3rd generation.  \nThe Supplementary Register is used for all other cats (for example outcrossed, novice and unrecognized breeds. )  \nThe Standard of Points and Show Rules provide more information on Novice Registration and Outcrossing of certain Breeds and these must be followed without exception.The registers should contain at least the registered name of the cat, the registered cattery name of the breeder, the registration number of the cat, the breed, pattern and colour of the cat (as well as other relevant features, like coat length, eye colour, ear shape, tail etc. ), the registered cattery name of the breeder, the date of birth of the cat, the sex of the cat, the name of the breeder and the name of the registered owner. It is strongly recommended that the member club’s WCF identification code forms part of the registration number. It is further recommended that the extended EMS code, as available from the WCF office, is used.  \nTransfer of Registered Cats  \nCats may be t","cbCaioj1aIFZoQl7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioj1aIFZoQl7","pdf",181556,"English","# General\n# Breeding\n# Catteries\n# Husbandry\n# Registers (Stud Books)\n# Transfer of Registered Cats\n# Ownership of Breeding Cats\n# Sales-contract\n# New Breeds, Patterns & Colours","[{\"question\":\"Can cats with congenital abnormalities be bred or sold for breeding in WCF member clubs?\",\"answer\":\"No. Cats with a congenital abnormality may not be bred from and may not be sold for breeding under these rules.\"},{\"question\":\"What register system does the WCF recommend clubs keep for cat registrations?\",\"answer\":\"Clubs are recommended to keep a Full Register plus a Supplementary or Experimental Register.
