Hey Paso!

You seem fairly knowledgable about these things. I just got this cat, she used to be a show cat so that tells me she must have a pedigree. I know her oringinal name, how do I go about getting a copy of her pedigree??

Pedigree is just the family tree..you are talking CFA papers..only the origional owner can do that..tell me her whole name...does she have a cattery name to tell us who she came from??

All I know is her name is Lucy Bassett, I don't have anything other then that. I may be able to get more info from her original vet's office. Does this mean I'm screwed as far as getting her CFA papers?

That tells you nothing...if it was Maitaiias Lucy Bassett it would tell you I bred her (Maitaiias cattery)....only the CFA registered owner can apply for duplicate....IF she was shown CFA, TICA, ACFA she had to be registered..so whoever owned her needs to apply...BTW what breed is she?? Was she shown as a whole cat or a premier?

Abyssinian, and I don't know how she was shown, I just know she was a show cat. I am going to call Breton Bay Veternary Hospital tomorrow and see if I can find out anything and get her records transferred. She is absolutely gorgeous. I posted pics of her in the thread about the 22,000.00 cat. She has the prettiest green eyes I have ever seen.

If she was shown and is a local abby I know where she probably came from..how long ago was she shown is she an older cat?

She's 9. She doesn't look 9 but thats what I was told. She is so little, but I guess that is normal for the breed.

I will make a call to an abby breeder tomorrow about Lucy Bassett

hehehehe ok, thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it! She is such a sweetie, she loves to be loved, the having claws thing is going to take some getting used to though. All of my others are declawed, she is too old to do that to now, so there's no way I'll risk it. Thanks again!!

Just spoke with the owner. She says that Lucy is at the end of her life. She says Abby's only live for 10 yrs. I am so upset, I am going to have her long enough to get attached, which is already happening, and she's going to die! I guess there is no point in finding her papers if she is on her way out. I will just love her and make her happy and comfortable until she does die. Thanks for all your help!
