She's a real cutie, it might become clearer if she is a pedigree when she's a bit older.
No,, without papers nor good proofs it can never be a pedigree. What he can be is possibly more or less a look alike....She's a real cutie, it might become clearer if she is a pedigree when she's a bit older.

Not in the GCCF in the UK. Domestic shorthair are an acceptable outcross for a tiny number of breeds, but that's as far as it goes. The outcross cats do not get a provisional pedigree, nor can they be shown. I'm not even sure how many generations are required for the offspring to be on the full register, and have a feeling it might vary by breed.Although, a stunning look alike exemplar, apparently being an excellent addition to said breed, may be sometimes accepted by two show judges as "novice" in said breed.
This cat counts as purebred but gets a provisorical pedigree document, and in four generations its children must be deemed at shows, and get their at least the grade excellent, to renew their pedigree... Firstly the fifth excellent generation gets a fully normal pedigree-certificate...
My described procedure is what is in the big european association FIFE where Im fostered. I suppose some Indenpendent Clubs also use something similiar.Of course it might be different with different countries, registries and breeds.
I think StefanZ brings this up every now and then because in Sweden it's still possible and probably not that uncommon either to bring novices to breeds. I checked our local cat associations (FIFé) rules and in Finland you can bring new cats (with Finnish heritage) to European Shorthair, Manx and Cymric. Earlier also Norwegian Forest Cat, Siberian and Russian Blue were on that list too but now they have closed the breeds or restricted them to smaller areas (i.e. Siberians only from old Soviet Union countries are accepted etc.).I would like to know how many 'novice cats' actually made the grade in recent years, other than for new breeds or imports from geographical areas, for example Korats from Thailand. My feeling is the answer is 'amost none'. Certainly none in the Felis Britanica (UK FiFe Member) results for 2010, 2009 and part of 2008.
These days where a breed has colour and/or pattern and/or coat length restrictions (for example chocolate / lilac / cinammon / fawn / pointed are not allowed in Norway Forest Cats) it would be in my view reckless to take a 'novice cat' in without genetically testing it first to make sure it doesn't carry any of these. If it does they will, eventually, surface.
