The month of April brings a lot of things into our life: Spring time and Easter, flowers starting to bloom, trees starting to bud, and hopefully, the beginning of better weather. In the United States because of the climate and hours that we have sunlight here, the first three months of a new year also means "kittens." Cats that have most likely not cycled during the shorter daylight hours of late November and December will cycle again in January or February - which, of course, translates into KITTENS in March and April. Here at Pelaqita Persians, we have new kittens on the ground! Sugar, Sophia, and Millie all had kittens this month!
Reminder: Please send us a picture of your cat or cats in a tree. Whether that be a cat tree, a Christmas tree, or whatever your cat can think of that makes it a "tree." We are going to post all the pictures on our Blog - Cat Mews. Send pictures and identifying information about your cat to newsletter@pelaqitapersians.com |
Traditional vs. Alternative Veterinary Care
|
|
So what exactly is the difference between traditional veterinary care and alternative veterinary care? There are many different ways that we, as veterinarians, can treat our patients and the real difference between traditional and alternative care is simply the approach used to treat a specific illness or ailment. I want to give you a brief overview of some of the treatment options that are available.

Persian cat breeders, Persian catteries, and commercial Persian cat breeders come in many different sizes and have many different philosophies about why they are breeding cats. The only thing they all have in common is that they breed Persians.
0 What are commercial or wholesale Persian Kitten breeders?
0 Is there a difference between someone who breeds their Persian cats as a hobby and someone who breeds as many cats as they can, as often as they can?"

Just thought I'd send you a couple of pics. These are oldies, but goodies. At least I think so. They were taken a couple of years ago. The first one is Calvin chillin' in the carrier. The second one is Calvin (on top) with his brother Hobbes (on the right) and my other persian, 12 year old Tucker (born March 9, 2002 - on the left). Uncle Tucker to the boys. All brown tabbies. Love it. :)
As you know, these two guys were born during the ice storm of 2009, on January 27, so they just turned five.
Everyday since that day in April of 2009 when I picked them up from your beautiful home has been a treat.
They're both wonderful fellas and terrific companions. I love them to pieces.
Thanks,
Cathy F.

SEND US THOSE CAT PICTURES
Does your cat do something that you think nobody would believe unless they saw a picture of it? Send us that picture. Is your cat having a love affair with another species? Send us the picture. Is your cat the life of any gathering? Send us the picture. You get the idea. We thought it would be fun to show a Cat of the Month photo every month which will be posted in our newsletter. If you submit a picture, please include your full name (this information is just for us and will not be shared), the name, age or date of birth, color, and breed of your cat. If there are other animals in the picture, please let us know who or what is appearing with your cat. You MUST be the owner of the picture in order to submit the picture to us. The cat does NOT need to be a Persian cat, nor does it have to be a purebred. We just want to make this fun. Send the pictures to:

DID YOU KNOW? |
A tabby cat named Dusty in 1952 set the record by having more than 420 kittens before having her last litter at the age of 18.
Mincho went up a tree in Argentina and did not come down until she died 6 years later. While up the tree, she managed to have three litters of kittens with equally ambitions dads.

How the cat trembles
while sleeping
The night runs over him
like dark water"
