If I can add to this post -- please know that some breeders don't allow strangers in their personal home due to their own feelings of security.  I also don't know how seeing the parents would provide additional information on a kitten.  Each cat will develop their own personality no matter who...

Each cat can be different.  I have different shampoos for different cats depending on their hair texture. You may need to vary the shampoo routine or use different types since this kitty has a different hair texture.

Do you have any other bi-colors?  Is this the same bathing routine you use on your other Persians?

You say this kitten is only 9 weeks old?  This poor little baby doesn't know yet that she has to jump off your bed and go find the litter box. Please keep her in a small area while she learns how to be a big kitty.  She may not be happy at first, but babies need time to learn they need to find...

Cat Person -- if you would like more information on the persian breed or need help finding one for your own, please feel free to send me a private message.  I would LOVE to see a new exhibitor in CFA!

Please talk to a persian breeder before making these assumptions.  I have neuters and spays with no litter box issues.  My breeding boys also do not spray.  All of my cats know how to jump and climb and know when it's time for food.  They also know they can knock things off shelves and counters...

Please do not use tranquilizers or sedatives on your kitty.  He will be fine once he's on the plane. I do have one suggestion for you.  You will need to remove him from his carrier to go through security so I would suggest that you get a harness and leash for him so you can control him a little...

Please remember that you have a 3 month old kitten who is new to your home.  He needs time to learn where the litter boxes are.  The first instance after your appointment, he may not have "remembered" that he needed to run and find the litter box.  The other instances sound like they may have...

Most cats only go on shorter trips and will cry or howl the whole way. Yes, we humans feel bad and think we are torturing them. I would be concerned that if you have the kitties in an area that will not be right with you, she could have a reaction and you would not find out about an emergency...

If the cat you are talking about is the picture you have posted by your name, persians do sometimes tend to do that. It could mean that their bite is off or even the tongue is too long to fit all the way inside his mouth. It doesn't necessarily mean there is anything wrong with his health.

Thank you for stopping the use of this on your little kitten. I know how frustrating it can be to find something that works. I know you said you don't have a lot of stores available, but can you possibly find a cream that is used for athlete's foot? You can also try applying vinegar to the...

Please see my response in the kitten section regarding tea tree oil. I have provided just one link to an article on the internet.

I understand he may not be old enough to start grooming himself, but the toxins are absorbed through the skin. It may be something that works fine for dogs, but cats react very different. I found several sad and scary stories about "cats and tea tree oil" just by doing an internet search...

Please don't use tea tree oil on your kitty. This is supposed to be toxic to cats.

Could this fungal infection possibly be ringworm? If so, you just need to change the pH of the skin and you can do this with vinegar. It will take time to clear, but it should eventually work.
