Thank you so much for the suggestions! The theory does make sense that she must have been overwhelmed when I introduced all my cats together at once. I generally don't follow the introduction steps to a tea as I have a lot of cats and also because by the time the 14 day quarantine period is...
Hi! I apologise in advance for the lengthy message☹
I am a kitten fosterer and I rescued an extremely scared and feral kitten about 4 weeks ago. For the first 2 weeks since she arrived, she was in quarantine and during that time she wouldn't even let me touch her. She would snarl everytime I...
Update!
Said foster kitten stayed with me and I am still trying to figure out/confirm her colour.
I think she is a blue (creme) tortie tabby. She ended up developing a lot more creme than I thought she initially had and she looks brilliant in the sun. But I was also wondering if she has any...
Out of interest, what term do you use to describe the traditional persians with the doll face? (sorry if the term offends you). I also love the Persian breed and I can understand when breeders say they lose a lot of money. Undoubtedly food expenses and those unexpected vet bills can add up a lot...
Christypaw persians is a registered and a very reputable breeder of shaded persians. She breeds the most beautiful persians and if her cats are not to standard I dunno what is lol. She's even added a section to her website talking about doll face persians and the benefits they hold over the flat...
Wow! I didnt know that such a stereotype existed but if there is one how silly of people to assume!!😠🤣 I also have an orange cat and contrary to what they think he is a very smart cat; clever enough to inconvenience me lol. He knows how to open windows, and doors and sometimes even jumps at the...
Hi I am Zara and I am looking for a few resources to learn about cat coat colours and genetics. I have been able to learn a few things about describing a cats coat from this site but I still want to know more so if there are any books (online is also fine), websites, articles and any research...
Sorry for the late reply. I am not sure why either and I wasn't aware that they shouldn't vaccinate on the scruff of the neck until now. Because I take all my cats and kittens for the annual rabies and cat flu vaccinations and they have always vaccinated on the neck. It was as I was doing my...
An update:
So the lump turned out to be an abscess... was so relieved. How she developed it however, I have no idea and I am just assuming it's from playing with one of the other kittens.
She was a little sensitive about the bump though and didn't let anyone touch it so she was given a mild...
Aww what a beauty😍😍 he looks a bit like both to me but definitely more persian than British. The two breeds however do have some similar features in terms of facial structure so without a pedigree showing the cats proper lineage you can't classify him as either breed.
Persians come in many varieties. A doll face persian refers to the classic persian that has a normal face and there's also the peke face persian which is caused by a genetic mutation and causes the cat to have a kind of squished face. However different cat registries around the world refer to...
