The program menu is very simple, as it gives you the choice of insert cat, output pedigree, delete cat, edit, print, save, and quit program. You do not have to hunt for any of these. It is easy to enter all the information, however, you must make sure that everything is exact, including titles in order to produce your pedigree. There is no universal place to change titles or edit spelling errors. BELL-CATS is a pedigree program only, and one that is easy to use for beginners.
Drawbacks are that it has no cattery management capabilities or places for notes.
There are also no expense charts either for the cattery or your shows. I was using my computer as a fancy typewriter, but I knew there had to be a better way to type a pedigree. When I talked about pedigree programs with friends, it was obvious their programs were beyond my computer skills. The user manual is short and simple. The program is inexpensive, which is important when you're not sure you can handle a computer program.
