Litter information and adding a cat to a litter

Information of cat has 2 sections: Information which concerns the specified cat only (left pane) and information common for all the cats born in the same litter (right pane). The following information is common to the litter: parents, mating date, birthdate, breeder, original country = country where the litter is born and other remarks. You can also add property information for the litter - for example cause of death for those kittens which were born death or died before registering. The information is linked to the litter only when you click "Add a new property to combination" -link.
Adding cat information is more easier if it is added to the litter as the cat already has information of parents and birthdate when the cat is added to the litter. Function is important also when cats which birthdate or both parents are not known but cats which are born in the same litter are known. ProCat-cat registry application links cats to the litter if the litter which parents and birthdate are the same as given to the cat but if birthdate is not given, a new litter information is added for every cat with the same parents.
"Add a new cat to the litter" link is available in Add or change cat information page when the litter information is saved. By clicking the link a page for adding cat information is opened with litter information.

Breeder information

ProCat-cat registry is also a Breeder registry. You can add your breeder information to the registry and add your contact information by breeder information to the kittens on sale. Click "Add breeder" link on the top of any page (a new breeder can be added also via litter information) - later you can change breeder information by opening breeder information and clicking "Change breeder information" link in the breeder information page if you have added the breeder information yourself.
