anyways as i said not bothered so much about that as not breeding or showing

I appreciate that you are not worried about breeding or showing but even the GCCF has said that the kittens would be classed as 'unrecognised breed'

There may be a legitimate reason for them not being registered but I still wouldn't be happy with it to be honest - I would never consider not registering a litter....that is all part of breeding.
