Persian

Having been an animal lover all my life and owning all kind of animals naturally I am only happy to have the house full of furry friends. Since meeting my partner who is not a fan of animals we had to make a compromise. If we were going to get a cat - it had to be a persian. Deal! So we set about trying to find the new addition to our family. There were literally hundreds to choose from but we steering more towards the adult cats that were being rehomed. We found a beautiful 4 year old girl whose owners were downsizing their family - they already owned 9 British shorthair cats and 2 Beagles! From the minute we met her we knew she was the one. She ...  Read the complete review

PERSIAN CAT Or should I say 'My Persian Cat' I knew nothing about cats until I got two as pets. As an introduction to the Persian I do know they originate from Egypt, which surprised me, as they must be jolly warm with all that hair. They are a pedigree breed and these days they breed them to have almost no protrusion on their noses. They have a beautiful coat of long fur, which needs constant attention; otherwise they get knotted and need to be clippered or groomed at the vets, which can be expensive. They come in all sorts of colours and you can buy them from breeders, which are advertised on the Internet. The cost can vary from £100 - £300 ...  Read the complete review

Firstly excuse the long introduction but I feel it is important to set the scene ... just under four years ago, my husband and I decided to expand our family by getting a cat. We would have liked a cat from a rescue centre, but as we lived in a flat and were in full time employment at the time, we were deemed undesirables by most rescue centres. So we decided to get a pedigree instead and after a little bit of research we decided upon the British Shorthair breed. Six weeks after bringing home our first kitten, Lewis, we went back to the same breeder and brought home his slightly younger half brother, Billy. Billy and Lewis were our family. They moved to Bermuda with ...  Read the complete review

As a cat and all round animal lover I have five cats ( I know five!!) two of which are Persian. Persians are well known for their flat faces, good temprements and for being very high maintainence cats. I first thought about getting Persians after stumbling across a Persian Breeders website, I had always liked the idea of a pretty Persian cat and looking at the lovely pictures on the Breeders website had me convinced of getting a Persian (soon followed by another one). There is a lot of good points and bad points to consider before purchasing a Persian. Good Points: Persians have very good temprements and will happily curl up next to you or sleep in ...  Read the complete review

If you are thinking about getting a Persian Cat I would like to help by giving you an insight into what it is like to own them, how they are to care for, and to highlight the difficulties and of course the joys. I will start by explaining that I have kept them for the last decade following on from 15 years of owning moggies. I had always wanted them but knew that when I was younger and my children were little I would have struggled to give them the time and the dedication they need. So just over 10 years ago I started my Persian ownership with the purchase of a blue colourpoint called Teddy, shortly added to by a red self called Marigold. There is ...  Read the complete review
