You can apply for both a TICA prefix and a GCCF one - but you will need to register your queens with TICA if they're not already registered with them, otherwise you won't be able to register your future kittens. It's not difficult - you just need your GCCF pink slip and a copy of the pedigree, and you send it over to TICA and they send you the necessary bits and pieces back.

Hi All,

Question on Prefixes. How does the GCCF decide if a Prefix choice is adequately different to an already existing prefix?

Is there a set number of letters difference that is required? Or if it about the sound of a prefix name?

I've come up with a few different ideas but then I check the list of registered prefixes and occasionally there is something similar but different already in existance. Not sure how close you can be.

Any thoughts?

Thanks xx
