Pedigree cats are bred for specific physical traits and characteristics that are outlined in their breed standard. For example, Siamese cats have distinctive pointed markings, while Persians have round faces and long, thick fur. Look for these distinctive physical features to help determine your kitten's breed. If you acquired your kitten from a breeder, they should have provided you with pedigree papers that document your kitten's lineage and prove its breed. If you didn't receive these papers, you can contact the breeder to request them. Some companies offer genetic testing for cats that can help identify their breed and provide information about potential health issues. This can be particularly helpful if you have a mixed-breed kitten that may have pedigree ancestry. Your veterinarian can help you identify your kitten's breed based on its physical characteristics and can also provide advice on how to care for your specific breed of cat.
