Could the breeders with white show persians tell me what shampoo, rinses and conditioners you find best for preparing your cats for show? I know the various products are not available all over the world, but would love to find out what successes you have had with products.

Just showing off my new 3 day old baby boy for everyone on the list!

I just had to tell everyone on the site that I have EVENTUALLY created a website! This is my first bash at it, so I hope there will be no snickering ..... but please visit my site and tell me what you think. I will definitely work on it some more and promise that you will see an improvement...

Why is it that torties often have this "unruly" nature? I have been told by many breeders that my tortie girl is quite normal for a tortie, but she can be quite a handful! Her gran was also a tortie and was also quite a feisty cat. Is this feisty trait somehow linked to colour inheritence?

I have just read in a Hamlyn book that "in the USA, diatomaceous earth is popular as a flea treatment" and directions are given on dusting bedding, carpets etc. and the cat's fur with it. In thirty years of owning cats and dogs, I have never heard this before! Does this really work?

Patty, I cannot thank you enough for that glop recipe as it has now come in handy for my month-old kitten. With the introduction of a new stud into the household (albeit nowehere near mother and kitten), mother cat can smell him on our clothing and has started mimicking being on heat! She has...

I have never owned a stud cat before. I have always taken my queens along to a breeder for mating with one of her studs. I have now been offered the stud cat that has mated twice with my one queen. He is nine years old. Can anyone advise on how long stud cats are active for? This is a new...

Hope someone can give some advice. I have a red persian queen who loses weight drastically whenever she is feeding kittens. I know that it is normal and that some books even mention a weight loss average of 6 grams per kitten being fed per day! Although her appetite is good and her main food is...
