20 (cat) questions

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Thats one question I didnt use being that I had birmans and my birmans are brothers and names have different letters!

[Reynard]

[13]Nearly all breeders of which cat breed, name their cats according to which year they are born?

Nearly all breeders of Birmans name their cats according to which year they are born. Birman kittens born in 2004 will have a name starting with B, 2005 the names will start with C

Not strictly true actually. Breeders of the Chartreux (not many in the UK, but still) do the same.

Also, in France, a year letter is allocated by the governing / registering body of the cat fancy and ALL the kittens born in that year MUST have a pedigree name beginning with that particular letter. I believe the same is applicable for most of Europe.
