Hi im really confused about the whole registered breeding thing.I just looked on a breeders website,on this forum and they are breeding registered cats,a particular breed,but they are also crossing this breed with a different one????both parents(of different breed)are registered,but kittens i presume cant be as mixed breed?Is this an acceptable thing?or can they somehow be registered,There is so much to look into,and i have had a few brain cells die on me since the kids,any advice/info on this appreciated.

certain breeds can be crossed and registered, mainly with tica. Example Bengal x Oriental short hair is a first generation serengheti cat, only registered with tica if both parents are registed active.

if a siamese was mated by a persian the kittens are cross bred so no, kittens would not be registered. i'm not sure why people do this, unless it's an accidental mating.

I know back when people were introdcing new breeds they crossed cats but it's then done proper and for a purpose and i guess off spring weren't registered in early generations? not sure.

I'm confused Clare-which different breeds are you talking about and then we'll be able to answer correctly-but it is confusing i agree
