The Cattery’s Standard™ 2019

Cat Fanciers have specific needs: Keep good records, produce pedigrees, do genetic calculations. The ultimate tool for the fancier is now here: The Cattery’s Standard™ 2019.

The Cattery’s Standard™ 2019 offers the cat fancier a thorough and easy-to-use product for tracking pedigrees, genetics, competition, veterinary history, breedings and financial transactions. More than any other product, The Cattery’s Standard™ is thorough.

The Cattery’s Standard™ was written in co-operation with ten cat fanciers of various backgrounds, most of whom had little or no computer expertise. Why did we stay away from computer experts? Because we did not want a product for computer experts, but rather one which did the job for cat fanciers.

Pedigrees the Easy Way!

Only The Cattery’s Standard™ 2019 has PedFast™ V, the fastest and easiest way to get pedigree ancestors into a computer program. Other programs require you to enter ancestors from the oldest generation first, linking the parents as you enter the animal’s record. A real pain. Only The Cattery’s Standard™ puts you into a form which looks and acts like a five generation pedigree (we keep generations going back forever, but can only fit five at a time on the window).

If a cat exists in the database, you click and pick him/her off a list. We fill in the rest of the pedigree. If you do not know the cat’s registration number, no problem. Leave it blank. We’ll put one infor you. We give you visual confirmation of the results. You see it right away. You can add titles without leaving the window.

How About...

How about capacity to hold all these pedigrees? One of the leaders in this market can store 65,535 cats. We can handle 2.1 Billion Cats! We also let you freely exchange cats with each other using our BXF™ Import-Export facility (more about this later on).

How about pedigree printing? You have choice of font. You have choice of color for titled cats (requires a color printer). If you have a scanned picture of your cat, we’ll print it on the pedigree too. Simply put, it’s the best and easiest program for cat fanciers.

Competing was never so easy!

Competition is so easily tracked with The Cattery’s Standard™ that you will hardly realize that you have made an effort to track it. Every ring and judge is easily entered. Unlike other products which started out for dogs and were made "compatible with" cats, our competition module can accurately track what a real cat show does.

To the left is a thumbnail of our cat show record. Click on the picture to see a full-size picture of how we store our records. We can handle any number of rings from 1 to 100. We can store up to 65,536 shows per cat! Of course, you have a variety of reports you can produce, including judge tracking and individual cat performance statistics.

Vet Visits, Shots and Heats

The Cattery’s Standard™ has it all. Vet Visit tracking by cat, by vet, or by reason the cat went in. Financial tracking of costs. Define your own visit reasons (unlimited capacity). Set reminders for follow-up visits automatically.

The Cattery’s Standard™ tracks and prints vaccinations separately. You get the most common vaccinations pre-loaded, and can add, change or delete an unlimited amount of records. Of course, you get reports, both on paper and on screen.

The Cattery’s Standard™ tracks heat cycle information for all your females. Quick, easy, reliable.

Share Your Data!

The Cattery’s Standard™ excels at one thing more than any other cattery program! You can share your data with anyone. The Cattery’s Standard™ exports your records into its proprietary BXF™ format, and will read BXF™ files as well. This means that anyone else with The Cattery’s Standard™ can send you their cats for use in your pedigrees without involving a third party or paying any sort of fee. This also means that, as they become available, you will be able to download free databases full of cats! The Cattery’s Standard™ is smart enough to merge databases correctly, and not to make duplicate cats.

The Cattery’s Standard™ can use one of our free utilities to read in CompuPed™ 3&4, Breedmate, Cat Trax and other databases and make them into BXF™ files. You therefore can use the databases of your friends with these programs)! Free!

DataMaster™:
Super-Powered Data Manipulation

The Cattery’s Standard™ 2019 has DataMaster, redefining the power of cattery software. Now, you can fix naming errors such as improper use of the possessive in cattery names, bad capitalization rules, goofy color abbreviations and the like in seconds, not days!

What DataMaster does will knock your socks off. Some of the power:

1. Change names and/or colors to ALL UPPER CASE, all lowercase or use our proprietary "Smart Capitalization" feature to intelligently capitalize each word in a name. It handles contractions, as well as O’ names and the like!
2. Change the beginning or any part of the registered name to anything you wish, for every matching cat in the database.
3. Do the same for Color and Call Name!

Here is the power you need to make your database the best it can be!

Got a Question about the program, ask Sheegwa™!

The Cattery’s Standard™ 2019 is by far the easiest cattery program ever devised. There is simply no contest. However, with all of the power in TCS 2019, there are times when there is a question that simply needs to be answered.

On every screen in TCS 2019, the help for that screen can appear in a bar to the right of the page. Click the Sheegwa™ button to have the help always appear. If you don’t need the help, just click it again and it hides away.

Save yourself time and maybe even a call to support! Use Sheegwa™ to quickly answer even the toughest questions! When it comes to making your program easy to use, the others haven’t even thought of what we’ve already done!

Crystal Ball - The Next Generation of Genetics

The Cattery’s Standard™ offers genetic information of a different flavor. Instead of just spitting out one number per cat for inbreeding (we do that as well. In fact, out of all cat programs, only TCS hascertified accurate results ), you can enter traits on cats in the pedigree going back ten generations. You then can analyze the traits of the ancestors and see how often they appear! Get a feel for your planned litters from a whole new perspective.

That’s just one benefit. See the impact of ancestors on a pedigree with our inbreeding percentages report. See a pedigree for a planned mating with the Hypothetical Pedigree function. The next generation of genetics is here now.
