Pedigree
A pedigree, in the context of cats (or other animals), refers to a recorded ancestry or genealogical chart that documents the lineage and relationships of a particular individual. Pedigrees play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of cat breeds and providing valuable information for breeders, cat owners, and cat registries. They contribute to the responsible and ethical breeding practices that aim to preserve the health, temperament, and conformation of specific cat breeds.
