Learn Tips for the Care & Feeding of Your New Pet Persian Cat

Congratulations on adding a pet Persian cat to your family! Persian cats are likely the most gentle and friendly of all the cat breeds and can bring years of enjoyment and companionship to your family. Here are some tips and general information on the care and feeding of your new pet to get your relationship off to a good start.

When you bring your pet Persian home, give it some time to explore. This is a good opportunity to determine which rooms your cat will be allowed to prowl, if you do not intend to let it have free reign of your home. It is much easier to close off those rooms now than to try to retrain your cat later. If you have other pets in the house, it is best to introduce them one at a time, after your cat has had a chance to look around and get comfortable with its new surroundings.

You should feed your pet Persian cat at about the same time every day. If possible the best thing you can do for your kitty is to make its food at home. This is the best way to know exactly what the food ingredients and quality your pet is eating. Make sure you use plenty of meat, grains and vegetables. Remember to not overcook the food so as not to destroy the nutritional value. If you can't prepare their food at home then you need to feed it the best food you can afford. Consult your vet, breeder or other owners for the best type and brand of food to feed your cat. Food needs vary with activity level; so an active cat will need more food than a less active one. Its very important to make sure your pet always has fresh water.

You should also clean the litter box every day, scooping out clumps and solid waste. Add more litter to the box if necessary. The litter box should be placed in a location that gives your cat privacy, but is still easily accessible. Most cats have a natural instinct to use the litter box. Young kittens may need to be placed in the box multiple times to learn to use it. If your pet Persian cat has continual problems with not using the litter box, be sure you are scooping the waste on a regular basis and that it is easy for your cat to access. If problems continue, consult your vet, as it could be an indicator of health concerns.

You should also play with your pet Persian daily. Cats require exercise and mental stimulation. If this is not provided by you, your cat will find ways to entertain itself and you may not be happy with the result. There are many toys available that your cat will enjoy. It may take some time to discover which type of toy your cat prefers, but you probably already have some interesting cat "toys" in your home.

Anything that makes noise when touched, or moves unpredictably is likely to be interesting to your cat. Some common favorites are: plastic drinking straws, crinkled tissue paper or wrapping paper, large plastic jacks, laser pointers (be sure to keep it out of their eyes), and even your hand twitching under the bed sheet. Avoid small items that your cat could swallow.

In order to keep your pet Persian's hair free from mats and tangles you should brush it often to remove dirt, knots, and shedding hair They will enjoy the attention. Use a brush with bristles that are long enough to reach the whole way through the coat. If you live in a warm climate, you may wish to consider having your cat clipped or shaved in the summer. Because of its long hair your pet won't be able to keep as clean as a short haired cat and so will need to be bathed fairly often. Start bathing them as kittens so they get used to it. Trying to put a full grown cat into water may be more than you bargained for. A pet Persian is strictly a house cat. Don't let them out side or you run the risk of them damaging their fur or picking up unwanted visitors like fleas.

About once a week you should wash your cat's food and water dishes. You should also empty the litter box, clean it, and refill it with clean litter. Cats prefer to have at least 2-3 inches of litter in the box. This allows them to dig in the litter before using it, and then to cover up their waste afterward.

Your pet Persian cat will require routine veterinary care, including vaccinations, flea preventatives, and physical exams. You should take your new pet to the vet as soon as possible. Be sure to bring along any records you may have received from your cat's previous owner. Your vet will discuss your pet's health with you and the two of you will then decide on any care that is needed.

Using the above tips for the care and feeding of your new pet Persian will help insure its health and long life. Your goal is to have your new friend around for a long time to entertain you and be a valued companion for your family. Persian cats get along with other pets and children extremely well which makes them an ideal family pet.

Litter Box Training For Persian Cats

Litter box issues can be a deal breaker for many pet owners, and being allergic to cat urine boy I can sure identify with that. Persian cats and Persian kittens can be particularly fussy about a litter box, and there are more than a few tricks to keeping them on target so to speak. We have listed them here in the hope that you and your furry friend can find a solution to any problems you may be having in this department.

Persian cats have a horrible reputation for being terrible about a litter box, and I think I know why. Persians, for whatever reason, are super touchy about how clean the litter box is. I am not sure the reason, but if you are having problems with a cat, try keeping the litter box extremely clean, scoop twice a day if you must. If this isn't your problem, look into the litter type you are using. I like the clay type clumping litter, but only because that is the only litter my Persian cat will use. They don't like newspaper, seem to really hate the wood pellet kind, and will often refuse to go anywhere near any kind of perfumed litter. Persian cats also seem to be particularly odorous animals, and even Persian kittens give off a rough scent in the kitty bathroom. I find that sprinkling a little baking soda in the bottom of the box before I put in fresh litter seems to help quite a bit, I like it and I know the cat likes it better. Another consideration, if you are lucky enough to have a cat not picky about litter type, is how that is going to get into that long Persian fur. I sure wish mine would use pellet litter and I think had she been put on it as a kitten she may have accepted it later on in life, but won now, and the clay really gets everywhere with that long hair.

Teaching young cats to litter train can be a real pain in the neck and no one envies a friend going through it with their Persian cat. But keep these things in mind and you will be on track to getting through to your pet what your desire is. Deep down they aren't trying to irritate you, and really just want what makes you happy. Sooner or later they will figure out what you wanted and will be spot on.

Where to Find the Perfect Persian Cat

People of all walks of life like Persian cats and wish to have one as a pet. Most Persian cats have thick coats of fur and are nice to cuddle with. If you wish to find that perfect little one that you can love and adore, then the best place to go to would be a Persian Breeder or a Persian Cattery.

Persian Breeders are people and businesses that breed and raise Persian cats for a living. These people usually breed with the best and most healthy Persian cats. They dedicate their time and effort into raising beautiful, healthy Persian cats that are registered with CFA or similar associations. As with any type of business -- for Persian Breeding is a business -- you will find both reputable and deceitful Breeders. Those of a reputable standard will be able to show you proof of where the cats came from, parents of kittens and the necessary documentation for their cats. If you find yourself conversing with someone less reputable or outright deceitful then it is best to contact your local authorities.

The difference between a Persian Breeder and a Persian Cattery is that a Persian Cattery breeds and raises their Persian cats for their own benefit as much as for the customer seeking a Persian kitten. There are many reputable catteries and they also have many different goals. Some Persian Catteries breed their cats for the main purpose of having the perfect show cats. Many Persian catteries do not breed their cats for the purpose of providing pets for families but rather for the purpose of having the best and most beautiful show cats.

Having the perfect cat is one thing but maintaining that cat's health and beauty is quite another. Persian cats have thick fur and their coats need to be groomed daily -- combed or brushed. You can find many Cat grooming products at your local pet shop. It is best to use a wide-metal tooth comb instead of a brush. If you use a brush, then only do so to 'fluff' the coat and make sure to first remove any mats in the coat. If you groom your cat daily then matting should not be a problem.

You can either bathe your cat yourself or you can go to a professional groomer. You know that your cat needs a bath when they begin to look greasy as the dirt accumulates and matting will increase if you do not bath your cat. If you decide to bathe your Persian cat yourself then you need to first remove all mats with a wide-toothed comb. Do not pull on the hair as you can remove the hair to the root and bald patches will form.

The perfect cat needs the perfect home and you will reap the benefits of having the perfect Persian cats if you show him/her the love and care that all cats deserve. Care for your cat to the best of your abilities and they will love and care for you in return.

Taking Care of the Persian Cats the Right Way

Persian cats are unique. They are expensive to buy and to grow. But they are a wonder to have. Yet, the Persian cats were obtained in unnatural ways. By breeding and selecting species is the way they appeared. This makes them very easy to get ill. This is why they need special cats care and special Persian cats diet.

The Persian cats care need to be very attentive. First of all due to their short muzzle. Lots of dust can get in there. And the cat simply can't breath after that. This is why the owners of a cat need to wash them even twice a day. Take care that her nostrils are clean. Over all, care is very pretentious. Also, they have big modified eyes. Which can also get irritated very easily. Special attention needs to be directed to the eyes as well so they don't get ill.

CAT BREEDERS

Besides this physical care, the diet needs special attention. They have very sensible stomachs. The normal cat food available in commerce is not suitable for them. They need special cooked meals. They have to be rich in milk and other similar products as they have great problems in assimilating calcium.

The Persian cats diet is the most difficult to follow among all cats. This requires great effort from the owners . Besides the milk need, they have to be in the right proportions. Not too fat and not too skinny. Their metabolism predisposes them to get fat easily. Yet a skinny is completely unlikable. That is why an equilibrium needs to be found.

The owners of cats need to be very attentive and highly dedicated to the feline. Unless the proper care and diet are followed the cat is always predisposed to get ill. The special attention is what is mandatory when having them.

What is a Chocolate Persian Or Himalayan Cat?

Many people are surprised to find out that there is actually a chocolate gene in breeding Persian and Himalayans.  First, it's important to know that all Himalayans are a Persian; just a type of Persian.  The Himalayan has Siamese in it' background and one can tell a Himmy by their dark 'points' and blue eyes.  The points are the ears, head, tail and paws.

Unlike the other genetic colors of black and red and white, in order to have a 'visual' chocolate, both parents have to carry the chocolate gene.  That's what makes a chocolate Persian or Himalayan more rare.

CAT BREEDERS

Each color has a dominate and a dilute, or recessive color of the particular gene.  With the black gene, it's blue; with the red gene, it's cream; and with the chocolate gene, it is lilac.

With me so far?  So, a Himalayan (which are always 'pointed') you can have a chocolate pointed Himalayan or a lilac point Himalayan.  You can also have a chocolate cream or a lilac cream Himalayan.  If you see little patches of 'cream' on the nose or paws, you have a color-cream point.  There is also a chocolate tortoishell point.  Only females can be cream or tortie points.

Now, there are many more chocolate possibilities with a Persian.  You can a chocolate tortoiseshell (very rare) or a chocolate tabby (even more rare!)  There are also chocolate and white bi colors,  chocolate calico's, and chocolate smoke Persians.  And then of course, the dilute, lilac is also possible in all these markings.

What is most fun being a breeder of Persians and Himalayans is the surprise each litter brings.  Since all chocolate Persians are CPC (which mean they carry the pointed gene), pairing a chocolate Persian and a pointed Himalayan will always give you a unique litter; of some Persians and some Himalayans.  It's always like Christmas!
