Re: Prefixes

The GCCF call it a prefix - it functions like a surname but it is placed first and is the "cattery" name. For example, mine is Boberg and all my kittens from my own queens will be called "BOBERG (name, second name)".

There are plenty of other breeders on here who have their own prefix / cattery name. Click on their websites to see more - these can be found below their signatures.

The GCCF allow a certain number of letters to give a cat a name and the Prefix is included in that number. Every breeder will get a choice of names but must not be too similar to anyone elses or be a city name or after a person etc - the GCCF website will explain more.
