Happy Autumn!
The signs of Autumn is all around us here in Central Ohio: the leaves are changing color and the outside critters (horses and mini-donkeys) are getting their winter coats.
This picture was taken by John and features one of our barn cats sitting on the back pasture fence (see all the beautiful trees in the background?). The cat was "yelling" at the dog John had with him. :-)
I am going to be showing Bishop at the cat show in Parma, Ohio Saturday and Sunday, October 10 and 11. The cat show will be held at:
Lakefront Arena
5310 Hauserman Rd.
Parma, Ohio 44130
Hours: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Spectators are always welcome. There is a small fee for spectators (about $6 per adult). We hope to see you there. |

reputable or responsible Persian kitten breeder and avoid pet stores, etc.) Finding the right kitten for you is a process that requires patience. Here are my thoughts for potential kitten buyers on getting a purebred kitten from a responsible Persian cat breeder:

In her latest post, Dr. Jane explains some of the finer points of launching headlong into the world of home-cooked meals for companion animals. Aside from the costs associated with buying all of the individual ingredients, there are loads of other aspects pet parents need to fully consider before committing to this latest ‘foodie’ trend. Thanks to Dr. Jane, you’ll have a better understanding of the work involved in preparing foods that are actually nourishing for pet kids.

On average, owners have two cats (2.45). (Humane Society -survey 2009-2010).
There are several ways to keep a Persian groomed depending on their coat. However, a Persian does require a lot of care. If the Persian's coat is soft and cottony (similar to a rabbit), it will be necessary to comb (do NOT use a brush on a Persian cat) the coat several times a week to avoid matting. If the coat is silky, the coat will probably not require as much combing, but the owner should expect to groom the cat at least twice a week. Persians also tend to get greasy (oily) over time (some more often). Maintaining this type of coat can be more challenging. An owner will need to use a de-greaser (like Groomers Goop) and then bathe the cat. Persians with this type of coat do best in what is called a "lion cut" which is utterly charming.
