Hi I have a female Red Point Himalayan called Meeka. I had her desexed at 6months of age. I have read that when a colour point hair's is shaved it will turn the colour of her points and should go back to it's original colour once the hair has grown out. As she was shaved on the back after the...

Your blue point kitty is absolutely beautiful!! She definately look's like a Himalayan and her personality sound's like one too. That's the great thing about Himmie's is that they have a very unique personality and they are extremely affectionate. My cat is now 8 months old and she still follows...

I also got my Himalayan kitten at 8 weeks old but this seem's to be a standard age in Australia. As far as I know all pure breed himalayans have blue eyes. We got to see our kitten at 6 weeks of age from the breeder and she even had very blue eyes at that point and as she has grown they still...

They do appear to be blood vessels running along the eye but I still find it strange that I haven't seen it in a cat before but then again I've never seen a blue eyed cat. She has had the red lines there since she was born as the breeder let me see her reguarly at a young age but strangely...

I have noticed my Himalayan kitten who has blue eyes has red zigzag lines on her Iris along the very edge outwards. I haven't seen this on a cat before and I have not seen other Himalayans so i'm curious if this is normal in blue eyed cats. I'd be interested to hear from others. Thanks Amanda

I have the same problem with my cat trying to climb up the screen door. I was lucky to get a photo while she was on it. She only ever does it when she see's me outside otherwise she won't climb it. click on the picture to enlarge Amanda

Thanks all. I will try all of these things. I really haven't done the harness thing much at all but I think she got her real taste for the outside world when she escaped between our legs and just ran into the garden. I hope she will eventually get the message

Thanks for all your advice. I ended up leaving her on her own and she was absolutely fine. She had plently of food and water and suprisingly did not damage anything. She had missed me alot! She is a very placid cat who sleeps alot. Unfortunately i was travelling with my family so they couldn't...

Hi all I've have a Himalayan kitten who is now 6months old. After doing alot of research into picking this breed, I choose this one as I wanted a indoor cat. As we live in a unit, she can only stay indoors. For the first couple of months she was very content staying indoors and peering outside...

Hi all, I have a 6month old Himalayan. She is very affectionate and likes to be around people all the time. I need to go away for 3 days and leave her in the house on her own. She will have all the food and water dispensers but I am concerned she may get lonely and upset and go crazy in the...

Hey, I have a 10 week old Himalayan kitten. Since this is my first blue eyed kitten, I was curious when I noticed she was looking at me with the light (not a camera but a ceiling light) on her eyes, and her pupil's went red - I gathered this was some sort of reflection from the light but I...

Hey Yes she came from a very good breeder who was registered. When I wrote the inital message she was crying alot but since yesterday she has stopped crying. She is just peaceful right through the night - amazing! Thanks all for great feedback! I think she must have needed to settle in a...

I think the ticking clocks sounds like a great idea. Would you get a little hand watch that ticks or a big round one? I'll definately invest in one and hope she will be content. Thanks for all your replies! After her contant meowing on the first night, I put her in laundry and after that she...
