FiFe's Racestandard

Den sibiriske kat kan deltage i udstillinger rundt omkring i hele verden på lige fod med de andre godkendte katteracer.

 

Til dette findes der en standard for hver race for hvordan de skal se ud. Eller det vil sige der findes en standard for hvert hovedforbund for hvordan den enkelte race skal se ud (FiFe, TICA, WCF og CFA). De har alle hver deres standard.

Standarden fortæller hvordan ideal billedet af racen ser ud. Størrelse, bygning, hovedform, halelængde osv.

 

Fælles for de 4 forskellige forbunds standarder er dog at den sibiriske kat er en stor muskuløs kat med halvlang tæt og vandafvisende pels.

 

FiFe’s standard (som klart er det mest dominerende forbund i Danmark og her jeg hører til gennem mit medlemskab i Racekatten som hører under Felis Danica, som igen er under FiFe) findes kun på Engelsk, Tysk og Fransk.

 

Her er en kopi af den engelske.
