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.

Cat hissing on top of fence
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.
The Informed Kitten Buyer
So, you think you would like to get a Persian kitten? There are many ways to go about the process of getting a Persian kitten. First and foremost, look for a reputable breeder (Click here for what makes a 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.


Did You Know?
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.

Cat O'Month
Send in Those Pictures

Does your cat do something that you think nobody would believe unless they saw a picture of it? Send us the 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 O'Month photo every month which will be posted in our newsletter. If you submit a picture, please provide the following information:

1. Your full name (Only first name will be used in newsletter)
2. Name of cat;
3. Age or date of birth of cat;
4. Color and breed of cat;
5. If other animals are pictured, please provide the animal's information.

You MUST be the owner of the picture. The cat does NOT have to be a Persian cat, nor does it have to be a purebred cat. We just want to make this fun.

Send the picture to: newsletter@pelaqitapersians.com
