I just rescued a persian kitten, but I don't know what she would be called. She has yellow eyes, tabby lines on the face and legs (like a tiger), but has tortie coloring. Any idea?

A fellow breeder in my area recently contacted me in hopes that we could work together. After speaking with her on numerous occassions, I concluded that she was really nice but a little ill-informed. She has a learning disability, but shes thriving well(has 2 kids etc.) I figured that was...

Vinnie, You should definitely take the cat to the vet. Don't forget that ringworm is transferable to humans!!!

....and then we cross that line that makes us just like them.

Hey, I am so sorry that you are going through this, and nothing anyone can say will take away the pain you are feeling right now. At 17, your cat has lived a long life and has given you everything it had to offer. Now, you have to give him something very special- something so important that it...

where is the kitten bleeding, how much, has it stopped?

Some people like your neighbor, probably dosn't have any real idea on what the overpopulation situation is like. She is probably going to get defensive if you try to talk to her about spaying, and having the cat spayed while in your care is a devious thing to do. Suggestion: gather a bunch of...

Hello, I recently purchased a cat who had what is referred to as stud tail. I tried to clear the tail up myself to no avial, so I went to a vet. She said that I would have to neuter him, and that was the only treatment/prevention. Obviously, I didn't want to do that so I went to another vet...

Hello, It is normal for persians to tear and almost every persian does. The degree of tearing can vary from cat to cat, but as long as its clear and shows no sign of inflamation or infection - the cat is absolutely normal.

Hello, I breed Himalayans I've been breeding only 1 year My cattery name is Puffy-Kats (CFA) My cats are registered I don't show I will continue to breed in the future Another breed that I would like to breed is Russian Blue (I have one and she is so great)

Hello, Your friends persian is known as an "odd-eyed white persian". This is perfectly normal and acceptable in show circles. The only time your friend should be concerned about the cats health is if there is any puss or leakage, the pupils are of unequal size, the eyes shake spontaneously, or...
