I have a prefix because a) I wanted one and b) if I didn't the GCCF would use the administrative prefix of the year - I wouldn't get a choice. I want my kittens to be easily traceable to me, not have to be looked up on a database. If I didn't have a prefix then each litter would have a different prefix depending on the year they were born and would be something like Adsleto (sorry if this is someones prefix) and then whatever I called it. So I'd have had Adsetlo Littlecatess (and then run out of letters) rather than Finesthour Littlecatess, for 2008 and Afleton (say) for the next litter the next year. Having my own prefix is just like calling them all Babette's something. I get to choose not the GCCF. Also without my own prefix I have to give 4 choices of name PER KITTEn - now you can hyphenate in different places etc but what if I don't want to? What if that name has been used already that year, the GCCF would reject it - this way I get what I want. Does that explain it?

Yes. Becourse I canot choose. Either you breed with a prefix and get pedegrees or you breed without anything and is not a proper respectable breeder. I get a pedegree for each kitten which I have to let follow the cat even when it is not sold for breeding.

When I start breeding I am allowed to have 1 litter without my prefix. All the kitten´s names must be only one word. Then I have to use my own prefix.

In Denmark I use to say that litters/cats without a prefix are (The cat is stray) has no owner.

I read that becourse you have a prefix you do not need to find each kitten a name. Perhaps I missunderstood you.

Yes, you misunderstood me, sorry - what I meant was that as I have a prefix I don't need to find 4 names for EACH kitten and use an administrative prefix, I get to chose exactly what I want and know I can have it. I love having my own prefix then all my kittens are traceable to me - Finesthour is my prefix and I'm very proud of it! I was lucky I got my prefix before any of my kittens were born so they are all Finesthour cats.

It's a different registration system in the UK. It's the cat which is registered, not the breeder. Most breeders choose to register a prefix which they then use to register every kitten but it isn't a requirement. The GCCF use an admin prefix for those without their own which they change each year. If you don't have a prefix you have to give four possible names for each kitten because no name can be repeated under the same prefix.

A breeder who had used my stud thought it would be nice to have him/me memorialised in the name of the kittens so registered them as -
Her prefix my prefix-individual name. She couldn't have done this without the hyphen as she couldn't have repeated my prefix. I thought it was a lovely gesture and I learned something new

The breeder of the kittens is the one that uses the prefix in Fife in Denmark.

The prefix is my advertising. Whenever you meet a Babette´s ..... you know it has lived with me the first at least 12 month of it´s life.

In Sweden fx they also have breeding cats living in fostercare. You have the cat I breed with it. The kittens are mine with my prefix and afterwords the cat is your. In Denmark noone interfere in how many cats/breedingcats I have as they do in Sweden. The law says ? number of cats is allowed.

Yes it's the breeder who registers kittens under their prefix here in the UK too but a breeder isn't required to have a prefix to register kittens as pedigrees.
