I know it can take 6 months or longer to determine show quality/ show potential in kittens. I release my kittens between 12-14 weeks old and at this point in time I’m basing my prices on bloodlines, genetic testing, and show potential. But it can be hard to know exact show quality on kittens...
I’ve never shown before, nor attended a show. But that will soon change! I think my new boy I purchased not too long ago is going to do well! At least I hope so! Any advice anyone can give me on how to prepare him and myself is greatly appreciated! I groom him daily, and he’s very docile, but...
Im having the hardest time in choosing a male himi to add to my breeding program. I’d like to get as close to show quality as possible with this purchase. However, I’m no judge and I haven’t been to as many shows as I’d like, so I don’t know all the quality/ feature related do’s and dont’s to...
I specialize in pointed Persians, and recently added a new girl to my program. I initially thought she was a tortie but she’s definitely got either blue or lilac coloring. What would you call her coloring?
I used to use the dog version Chicken Soup for my Great Dane and he loved it! Although he loved everything and anything ;). And since the ingredients look to be just as good if not better than the current kitten food I’ve my pregnant queen on (RC) I figured I’d give it a try. But the problem...
I have a newly acquired queen who had just turned a year old when I got her 2 months ago. Her previous owner said she’s had her first heat cycle but didn’t elaborate on the number of cycles, the dates or cycle lengths and such. Well since bringing her home she’s not had a heat cycle. I have a...
I recently got a new baby (born 6/2/17) so she’s almost 5 months old. Her coat isn’t as long as my other Persians. It’s dense enough I guess but just not very long. I’m wondering if it’s due to the fact that she’s a summer baby and it will lengthen as winter rolls into full swing or if this is...
I am fascinated with genetics but I don’t have a degree in it and sometimes the explanations I find in my research are a little confusing & over my head. If I’m looking to get some shaded, smoke or silver tabby offspring, but I’m breeding said males with non shaded, non smoke & non silver...
I thought I remembered seeing the option to post a poll either in conjunction with a post or simply do a poll in the past but I'm not seeing it now. I'm not sure where to post my question either. Needing opinions on naming kitty
I'm still learning the subtle differences between the two. Can anyone help me out? Her body is a beautiful creamy white color as opposed to the darker seal points. The under side of her tail is very light as well.
I'm trying to plan ahead and decide carefully which one of my studs to breed with my new tortie point female, and I have a question. If I bred tortie point to a solid blue male (CPC) , would there be any chance of getting seal point or blue points or would all the female points likely be tortie...
This is the first time I'm allowing one of my males to stud outside of my own queens and I have a question. I've done a good bit of research and I think I have all my ducks in a row except for this one complication. If I'm asking for female pick of the litter instead of stud fee, how can I...
I'm having trouble determining whether this girl is blue point or tortie/seal point. One of her siblings is a dilute calico (dad carries dilute gene) so I'm unsure here. She's 4 weeks old.
I found this information on petmd.com but I wanted yalls opinions.
"The vaccination schedule for FVRCP can begin as early as 6 weeks of age. Kittens are vaccinated once every three to four weeks until they reach 16 weeks of age or older. However, to avoid over-vaccination, most veterinarians...
Trying to figure out what all colors she has in her coat. Any ideas? I believe her mom was a smoke and dad was red & white bi color but I can't be certain.
I'm curious as to what you all would call his coat color. It's changed a lot since he was little and I'd love to know your thoughts. He was past due for the groomers appointment when I took these (as you can tell) and when he got his lions cut shortly after photos, to my dismay he was solid...
Some of you may be familiar with me & the background on this little gal. Bubbles, an adult cat I recently adopted, does in fact appear to be pregnant!! I'm trying to determine just when she conceived, as I havent witnessed any signs of heat since adopting she and her mate in mid June. Their...
So my vet recently informed me that I could split a capstar between my cats because they only require _____ amount per pound (or cat) , or some such. However, my vet is closed now and I can't remember if she said I could half it for two cats or quarter it for 4 cats. I'm thinking it was...
