foreign translations for the word "of" will not be allowed i.e., a, de, etc. If the word following the word "of" is NOT a TICA registered cattery name, or is not the owner's registered
cattery name, it will be automatically dropped. When the name of the cat is longer than 35 letters/characters/spaces, the cattery suffix will be automatically dropped. Two choices
may be entered for the name of the cat in SECTION E. The owner's name, address, and city are not allowed in the name of the cat unless it is a TICA registered cattery. The names
of cats may not be changed in any manner after they have been registered, except for the correction of clerical errors in the Executive Office; the addition of a cattery name as
provided in Registration Rules, 8.7, 8.8, and 8.10; to re-register as Household Pets, TICA registered championship class cats pursuant to Show Rules, 23.7.2; or pursuant to the
