​

What is TICA?

TICA is The International Cat Association. The organization was founded is 1979 and is now the world’s largest genetic cat registry. The organization not only registers catteries and all breeds of felines, but establishes genotypic and phenotypic standards for all breeds of domestic cats. TICA has held cat shows in over 100 different countries and the organization promotes loving and healthy relationships between humans and our furry companions.

What does F1, F2, F3 mean?

The F in F1 for instance stands for Filial generation. The number that follows the F is basically the number of generations the cat in question is removed from its common ancestor, the African serval.

​

For example

An F1 savannah cat is the offspring of an African serval and a domestic cat. Due to the size of the serval and pairing difficulties it is common practice for it to be the father.

​

Generation Breakdown

F1 = Serval x Domestic

F2 = Female F1 Savannah x F5 or Below Male Savannah

F3 = Female F2 Savannah x F5 or Below Male Savannah

So on, and so forth for generations F4 and below

​

The male savannah cat is sterile until generation F5 therefore, for F1 through F5 it is the mother that determines the generation of the offspring.
