Are you considering becoming a Persian breeder?

I get emails daily from people who want to start breeding and they ask me many questions. In the beginning of building a persian cats program- there is so much to learn. You feel as if you will never learn it all. But let me assure you- the largest thing one needs to learn in order to breed is people.

Yeap, that’s’ right..people!!

I have a friend who once told me,”Cat breeding and cat showing is like getting into a room with a lot of woman – whom all are PMS” many New Comers to breeding do not last the first five years- and it has nothing to do with breeding, it has to do with the pear pressure around them from other breeders.

Now don’t get me wrong…some breeders are wonderful, helpful and will go out of their way to help. But the better you get at the breeding and showing- the more you will find yourself in the PMS pot of cat breeders:-)

I have had the blessing of never allowing myself into the PMS pot of cat breeders…and I believe I did so by having grounded rules, grounded goals, and making certain not to get myself into any PMS pots of peers!

So – it you are wanting to breed Persians- first what is your goal? You must have a goal!

• And it can not be to have make the best or prettiest kittens.
• It can not be – to have one litter- to experience the birth of life.
• And it can’t be – to become more popular and feel as a part of something.

It needs to be- a goal that represents your passion in bettering the breed and yourself.

Kittens do not really need to be bathed- mom does most of it for them. However, the long haired or persian kittens do need a bathing training in order to not be afraid once they become of age needing a bath. more….
