Explanation of the FIFe European title and the abbreviations used in the Euro pages
 he requirements for an European title differ from cat association to cat association. For this reason, the following is a brief explanation of the FIFe-Euro-title:
The first possible FIFe-title (from the age of 10 months) is Champion or - for altered cats - Premier.
The cat must have been awarded 3 CAC's/CAP's by 3 different judges during 3 FIFe shows in one country The next step is the International Champion/International Premier:
3 x CACIB resp. CAPIB, 2 different countries, 3 judges followed by Grand International Champion/Grand International Premier:
6 x CAGCIB resp. CAGCIP, 3 countries, 3 judges and finally the European Champion/European Premier:
9 x CACE resp. CAPE, 3 countries, 3 judges
 couple of first "Euros" are from Sweden. Because of national quarantine rules there are a bit different conditions to achieve international titles higher than International Champion/International Premier:
Grand International Champion/Grand International Premier:
6 CAGCIB resp. CAGPIB in 2 different countries - Sweden and Norway - (2 certificates in one country, 4 in the other country). 4 different judges European Champion/European Premier:
9 CACE resp. CAPE in 2 countries (2 certificates in one country, 7 in the other country). 6 judges
 or example, the abbrevation of CAGCIB means:
