Non-pedigree cats as pets have the advantage of having bred naturally, albeit usually by accident. They also more likely than not, have strays at some point within their ancestry. Non-pedigees are likely to be both healthy and hardy, with the weaker strains having been weeded out by the laws of survival. They also tend to be more adaptable and less tempermental than pedigrees, less demanding of attention and less noisy and boisterous than some of the pedigree breeds. Owners of non-pedigree cats are also not prevented the pleasures from showing their cat either. Many cat shows now have classes for what are usually known as ‘Household Cats’. The prizes awarded are for good health, good nature, and charm.
