| This is an explanation of the FIFe and Independent (IDP) title system, meant as a help for those of you that are more used to the TICA and CFA system. |
| To gain a title in FIFe / IDP you have to collect certificate (same as winner ribbons) and your cat is only judged by one judge during a show and often in Europe there are two shows the same weekend (possible to get two certificates) would make it impossible to get a one show grand! |
