Selecting a Persian Cat is not simply

1. I want a boy/girl kitty
or
2. I want the kitty this color

Why you ask?? Well…as a Persian Breeder- I find this answer very simple, however you may not have thought much about it!

See, you need to first make certain your home and lifestyle is prepared for a Persian Cat. Persians are like children, who in their own ways are a tad insecure. They need to be adored and remembered as if they were the world you lived for.

Persian cats are not simply cats who sit and watch you and when you decide to remember they are in the room enjoy some loving. Instead- they need love all the time! They live to be pampered an adored!

If you are thinking of a Persian, please make sure that your home is one that will fit the kitty – otherwise, please research a different breed and don’t pick this kitty based on it’s beautiful long coat.

Persian cats require monthly baths, daily combing, and constant companionship.

Persian cats do not like strong scents, dusty carpets, piles of laundry( they will pee on the laundry/leather/newspaper left out), loud homes, high pitch children sounds, or being forgotten. They also do not care for business of too much activity going on in the home! For example- a daycare center in your home is a no no for a Persian cat.

If your kitty is homed in such- you may find the kitty looking for places to potty in order to speak up in the only voice they feel you will hear.

Make certain either you, or a playmate will be with the Persian Kitty through-out the day. Just like you can’t leave a puppy home all day alone- you also can not leave a Persian kitten home alone. Persian cats ARE puppies that purr, and they remain as puppies or infant children through out their entire life.

The good news is a Persian cat even in it’s senior years will still jump and play – just as if it was still a kitten:-)
