A cat registry or cat breed registry, also known as a cat fancier organisation, cattery federation, or cat breeders' association, is an organisation that registers domestic cats (usually purebred) of many breeds, for exhibition and for breeding lineage tracking purposes. A cat registry stores the pedigrees (genealogies) of cats, cattery names, and other details of cats; studbooks (lists of authorised studs of recognised breeds), breed descriptions, and the formal breed standards (a.k.a. standards of points or SoP); lists of judges qualified to judge at shows run by or affiliated with that registry; and sometimes other information. A cat registry is not the same as a breed club or breed society (these are specific-breed organisations that may be affiliated with one or more registries with whom they have lodged breed standards in order to be able to exhibit under the auspices of that registry). Cat registries each have their own rules and usually also organise or license (sanction) cat shows. The show procedures vary widely, and awards won in one registry are not normally recognised by another. Some registries only serve breeders, while others are oriented toward pet owners and provide individual as well as cattery memberships, while yet others are federations only deal with breed clubs or even other registries as intermediaries between the organisation and breeders.

Get the CATS (FELINES)mug. A fluffy animal, it likes to kill birds, mice, rats, and squirrels. It likes to make a weird noise called a "hiss" that it'll make when it's mad or upset. But they can be cute. And they could be a fucking annoying fluff-ball.
Girl- my cat kept rubbing all over my leg before I left!
Girl 2-Well, my cat gave me a dead rat, I saw it as a gift
Girl- Ew wtf

Get the Catmug. A cat is a cute furry animal that lives in the sea in a house shaped as a carrot. They like to eat cheese and jellyfish with their Pepsi max for dinner. They don't care about others and only care about themselves and their food. They are fluffy and cute but they are also very mean and will scratch you if you go near them.
