Cat Fanciers have specific needs:  Keep good records, produce pedigrees, do genetic calculations.  The ultimate tool for the fancier is now here:  The Cattery's Standard (tm) 2009. The Cattery's Standard (tm) 2009 offers the cat fancier a thorough and easy-to-use product for tracking pedigrees, genetics, competition, veterinary history, breedings and financial transactions. More than any other product, The Cattery's Standard (tm) is thorough. The Cattery's Standard (tm) was written in co-operation with ten cat fanciers of various backgrounds, most of whom had little or no computer expertise. Why did we stay away from computer experts? Because we did not want a product for computer experts, but rather one which did the job for cat fanciers.
Pedigrees the Easy Way! (Click on above image to see full-size)	Only The Cattery's Standard(tm) has PedFast®, the fastest and easiest way to get pedigree ancestors into a computer program. Other programs require you to enter ancestors from the oldest generation first, linking the parents as you enter the animal's record. A real pain.  Only The Cattery's Standard (tm) puts you into a form which looks and acts like a five (new for 2009) generation pedigree (we keep generations going back forever, but can only fit four at a time on the window). If a cat exists in the database, you click and pick him/her off a list. We fill in the rest of the pedigree. If you do not know the cat's registration number, no problem. Leave it blank. We'll put one in for you. We give you visual confirmation of the results. You see it right away. You can add titles without leaving the window.
How About...	How about capacity to hold all these pedigrees? One of the leaders in this market can store 65,535 cats. We can handle 2.1 Billion Cats! We also let you freely exchange cats with each other using our BXF (tm) Import-Export facility (more about this later on). How about pedigree printing? You have choice of font. You have choice of color for titled cats (requires a color printer). If you have a scanned picture of your cat, we'll print it on the pedigree too. Simply put, it's the best and easiest program for cat fanciers.
Competing was never so easy!	Competition is so easily tracked with The Cattery's Standard(tm) that you will hardly realize that you have made an effort to track it.  Every ring and judge is easily entered. Unlike other products which started out for dogs and were made "compatible with" cats, our competition module can accurately track what a real cat show does. To the left is a thumbnail of our cat show record.  Click on the picture to see a full-size, 640-by-480, picture of how we store our records.  We can handle any number of rings from 1 to 100. We can store up to 65,536 shows per cat! Of course, you have a variety of reports you can produce, including judge tracking and individual cat performance statistics.
Show Entries!	The Cattery's Standard (tm) will complete a CFA Show Entry form, all filled in, on plain paper! The forms are acceptable for all shows, and make it easy for you to enter! No more fudging for forms. None of the dog programs that have been made "compatible with" cats offer this feature! Moreover, our program lets you FAX these entry forms without having to print them first! If your computer has a FAX modem, you can route completed entry forms, via FAX, direct to show secretaries (contact your show secretary to see what his/her restrictions on these FAXes are). Click on the small picture of the CFA Entry form to see an actual printer capture of the CFA Entry form. This capture was made in monochrome mode, and has been reduced from actual size to make it fit into the screen of your browser. TICA SHOW ENTRIES! Now, TICA cat fanciers get beautiful TICA Show Entry forms, filled out for you, on plain paper!  Smoother than silk!  Easier to fill out!

Define your own visit reasons (unlimited capacity). Set reminders for follow-up visits automatically. The Cattery's Standard (tm) tracks and prints vaccinations separately. You get the most common vaccinations pre-loaded, and can add, change or delete an unlimited amount of records. Of course, you get reports, both on paper and on screen. The Cattery's Standard (tm) tracks heat cycle information for all your females. Quick, easy, reliable.
Share Your Data!	The Cattery's Standard (tm) excels at one thing more than any other cattery program! You can share your data with anyone. The Cattery's Standard (tm) exports your records into its proprietary BXF (tm) format, and will read BXF (tm) files as well. This means that anyone else with The Cattery's Standard (tm) can send you their cats for use in your pedigrees without involving a third party or paying any sort of fee. This also means that, as they become available, you will be able to download free databases full of cats! The Cattery's Standard (tm) is smart enough to merge databases correctly, and not to make duplicate cats. The Cattery's Standard(tm) can use one of our free utilities to read in CompuPed (tm) 3&4, Breedmate, Cat Trax and other databases and make them into BXF (tm) files.  You therefore can use the databases of your friends with these programs)!

Here is the power you need to make your database the best it can be!
Descendant List ANALYZER (click to see full size)	The Cattery's Standard(tm) 2009 doesn't just give you a four-generation descendants list.  Instead, we give you a Seven Generation Descendants Analyzer.  Newly revamped for 2009 with seven generations of power, and added speed, our new Descendants List Analyzer shows you descendants through any number of generations, seven on a screen, and can zoom in to see the descendants of any dog in the list. All descendants are listed complete with date of birth, without breaking a sweat or trudging through paperwork.  Collapse away a couple of generations with a single click.  Bring them back just as quickly. Descendants list analyzer color codes each descendant by generation, making it super-simple to figure out things when you are scrolled well down a list. If you want to report on the descendants, no problem.  The Descendant list analyzer will give you a detailed report!  The best way to view down a list of descendants is here, now!

Crystal Ball - The Next Generation of Genetics	The Cattery's Standard (tm) offers genetic information of a different flavor. Instead of just spitting out one number per cat for inbreeding (we do that as well.  In fact, out of all cat programs, only TCS has certified accurate results ), you can enter traits on cats in the pedigree going back ten generations. You then can analyze the traits of the ancestors and see how often they appear! Get a feel for your planned litters from a whole new perspective. That's just one benefit. See the impact of ancestors on a pedigree with our inbreeding percentages report. See a pedigree for a planned mating with the Hypothetical Pedigree function. The next generation of genetics is here now.
