As most of you know, I am looking to purchase my first purebred cat. I have always loved the Persian breed and have always wanted to have one. I have been doing my research and Iooking up breeders/catteries, and I see that there is the peke-face variety and the doll-face variety. I know that the...

Wow, thanks for all the friendly advice everyone! I really like Persians, Ragdolls, and Maine Coons.

Hi there! I just thought I would introduce myself to everyone here. I am new to the world of purebred cats, as I have had shelter rescues my entire life. I am just now wanting to purchase a purebred kitten for a pet, and I have lots of questions and lots I still need to learn. I realize that...

Thanks for the help guys, but I looked and there is no "edit."

I wrote a post that I would like to delete. Anyone have any idea how I do this?

If you are looking for a pet, I would recommend you adopt a kitty from an animal shelter. There are so many wonderful animals there who will never experience the love and companionship of an owner. I personally wish I could adopt more cats from shelters myself.

That us completely how I feel about breeding doll-faces. There is definitely nothing wrong with breeding the traditional Persians just because it's different. It's a similar scenario as with Siameses; some breed the modern show type, others breed traditional apple faces, but neither of them are...

Well, my cat should be about nine months old now. I didn't think it was him, but he looks similar. Snowshoes are very beautiful cats!

Well, actually everyone, that was my mother who gave the kitties, Gracie and Sophie, away when I was just a kid. We also had litterbox troubles and my mom, who doesn't exactly love cats like I do, couldn't deal with all the problems. I probably would not have rehomed them, but it was she who had...

Oh my gosh! This cat looks EXACTLY like my Cai who I lost on September!!!! He's got the same markings and face! How old is your cat? Just curious....

I'm really sorry about that. It sounds like you're having a pretty hard time with your breeding....

I have actually had 2 of the peke-faced Persians! They were both from one of the most "reputable" breeders, and my family experienced nothing but heartache. We had to find homes for the kitties because they spread ringworm to everyone, had the WORST tear stains and sinus problems. It was not an...

Not that it's that important if you love the breed you're breeding, but I was just wondering how well breeders/catteries have been doing since our economy started going downhill. Have you guys been affected much?

No, it certainly is not the end of story! LOL Doll-faces have the EXACT same traits as the peke-faced one, with the exception of the longer and more attractive nose. Besides, what about all those many people who love Persians, but don't like the peked-look and the health problems that often come...

Well, I love Persians, but I don't want to condone the unhealthy flat-faced type. Doll-faces have the EXACT same traits as the flat-faces, with the exception of the longer nose: noses that are much more attractive and healthy.
