| Before Getting a Persian Cat |
With the
proper care and maintenance, Persian kittens can easily live fifteen to
twenty years. Can you properly care for a Persian cat and provide a
stable home for its lifetime? Statistics show that over 50 percent of
all cats change owners at least once in their lifetime. Do you find
that statistic as appalling and alarming as we do?
If you have more specific question on genetic or health
issues, please consider to talk with your veterinarian.
1. Do read contract of the seller and if you disagree or
can’t accomplish it , don’t buy a
kitten/ cat
from the breeder.
2. Do read as much information as you can , books, articles about how
to take care of kittens and cats , vaccinations, introducing your
kitten/cat to new house, new pets, new members of your family.
3. Do talk to vet prior to bringing
kitten/cat
to your home. Ask them questions what is the best for your kitten,
diet, necessary vaccines, etc
4. Do ask a breeder questions about the kitten/cat before
deciding to buy
5. Do think about where you will leave your pet when you go to vacation.
6. Do think that pets are not something you buy today and throw out
tomorrow.
7. Do think how much attention they need .
8. Do think if you are able to pay vet bills for regular visits and
vaccines
9. Do think where you can bring your pet
in emergency and if you can afford it.
10. Do think if you get sick and can’t take care of
him, or any other family matters happened.
11. Do think if you or family will get allergic to cats . This is
number 1 reason pets end up in SPCA and shelters.

Personal Preferences |
 Cats
shed hair, just like humans. Some breeds shed more hair than others.
Cats are fastidious groomers. Be prepared and none too surprised when
they vomit a hairball from time to time -- completely natural with
little cause for alarm. It’s a good practice to routinely
brush
your cat to collect the loose hair.
Cats
are individuals. Both female and male cats can make wonderful
companions. If the cat has been spayed or neutered, then the cat's
gender doesn't play a huge role. The cat's own unique personality will
determine how good of a pet it will make. Your personal preference may
be to choose a cat whose personality is agreeable to yours.
Generally
the cat's breed isn't a factor and your selection usually is a personal
preference.
You
may choose a pedigree cat if your intention is to invest, breed, or
show. There are other reasons why someone would choose a pedigree over
a non-pedigree, and that’s a personal choice. Expect to pay
more
for a pedigree primarily because its lineage can be traced and its
pedigree is highly prized by others.
Some
breeds are high in their activity level. You may admire the look of an
Abysinnian, and wish you could start breeding them, but if you are a
collector of expensive collector breakables, this breed may not make
you very happy. You may look at a Persian in a show hall, and fall
deeply in love with that little round face and the lovely flowing coat,
but if you are not patient enough to train a squirming Persian kitten
to submit to the comb, or if you find it rather unappealing to wipe
matter from the cat's eyes on a regular basis, that lovely Persian may
soon be knotted and caked with dried tears. Both you and the cat will
be miserable. I cannot stress enough, how important it is, then, to
thoroughly get to know the breed of your choice before purchasing one
for breeding.
The
choices you make will define your experiences for the years to come, as
you deal with breed traits, the show reputation of your chosen breed,
the medical problems that may be common in your breed, and the level of
cooperation that exists between breeders of your chosen variety of cat.
Cats
of a particular breed have many differences that are more well-defined
than they are for the average domestic cat. Personality, health, likes
and dislikes, are all much more predictable in the pedigreed cat, than
they are in the cats' domestic "country cousins".
