I have over 50 Ruby's in my database.
Clare, what you sent me were the pedigrees from the breeder. You have not registered Pearl and Magic with any registering entity such as TICA or GCCF. Registering gives them a pedigree named and continues the pedigreed line of the parents. Since both Magic and Pearl are fixed, the pedigree ends with them. You do not have to officially register your kitties. However, registration confirms their purebred status. Even if you do not order a pedigree, you get a form proving registration of your cat.
Jayuzuri Bengals' website does not list any affiliation with TICA or GCCF. The five bengals I can find that show registration numbers (from 2004 through 2011) are registered with TICA. As of February 2017, they are still listed on TICA's list of registered catteries. Usually, registration forms are withheld until the cat has been spayed or neutered. If you are interested in registering your kitties, Clare, contact your breeder and go from there. It's not something you have to do.
Oh yes, females spray just as much as males! This is why we recommend spaying them before they go into heat! My friend has an older spayed female who still sprays to this day. Once they start, it's hard to stop it. Make sure you have some Natures Miracle to break up the urine and get it cleaned up. I'm sorry you're going through this .....
