    The Big Guy And The Sensitive Tummy Girl

    I haven’t personally tried either of these foods with my cat’s but I know other breeders and pet owners who swear by them. I believe the Royal Canin is only available with a rx but it might be worth mentioning to your vet, as the reviews indicate it’s pretty palatable and would benefit both of...

    Clumping Or Non-clumping Litter?

    I no longer use clumping clay since one of my babies died due to a urethra blockage. It was never definitively determined if the litter was the main reason for the blockage but it was certainly a contributing factor and my vet said I should immediately switch to non clumping for the health of...

    At What Age Do Show Breeders Set Kitten Prices?

    I’m working with GC, PW, RW, and NW lines. I’ve been going to shows for a couple of years now but due to health reasons, I’m not physically able to personally show my cats at this time. I’d like to continue adding titles to their pedigrees even though I am physically unable to show them and I...

    At What Age Do Show Breeders Set Kitten Prices?

    I know it can take 6 months or longer to determine show quality/ show potential in kittens. I release my kittens between 12-14 weeks old and at this point in time I’m basing my prices on bloodlines, genetic testing, and show potential. But it can be hard to know exact show quality on kittens...

    What Breed Is My Cat ?

    I agree. I see some Persian ancestry in him for sure. Ears are a bit large, but nose size & length, head size, eyes and obviously long luxurious coat remind me of doll face Persian.

    My First Show Is Coming...any Advice Is Most Appreciated!!

    I’m going to take a semi educated guess and say he’s got the first coat mentioned; big & cottony! I’ll try to find some pics that shows his coat better & you can let me know your thoughts. Assuming I’m correct in my assessment, any instructions you can post for usage on the corresponding...

    My First Show Is Coming...any Advice Is Most Appreciated!!

    Wonderful advice from everyone!! Thanks so much for reaching out your friend for any product suggestions @posiepurrs! I won’t be showing him until I’ve attended a few shows. A girlfriend and I are going to a show in March, as she and I both are planning to show our cats in the near future...

    My First Show Is Coming...any Advice Is Most Appreciated!!

    I’ve never shown before, nor attended a show. But that will soon change! I think my new boy I purchased not too long ago is going to do well! At least I hope so! Any advice anyone can give me on how to prepare him and myself is greatly appreciated! I groom him daily, and he’s very docile, but...

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    Oh and I meant to let everyone know the only reason I got BR on him was because the breeder was retiring and had already fixed and sold all of her cats except the last 2 Kittens. Baxter was one of the them. So I got really lucky!!

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    Yes! I most definitely want to show him :)! From what I’ve been told I think he has a good chance to get champion :goldstar:! Not sure about GC but I’d be ecstatic to get any ranking!! Baxter (or Verdell - I’m still trying to decide on his name) is my first true show quality cat. Although I was...

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    Ok, I decided on a Kitten. I couldn’t shake this little guy. I was even having dreams about him!!!...(I know, am I crazy?!?)! After several weeks and not being able to shake this little guy, I finally drove 5 hours to get him! Best decision EVER!!! He’s turned out to be THE MOST AMAZING KITTY...

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    I found a breeder who has really nice show cats (from what my knowledge tells me). She doesn’t normally sell breeding rights but after explaining my situation she’s willing to sell me rights as long as I agree to c/o my new male with her. Co-ownership is new to me. Can anyone tell me what all...

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    The last pic is the only young adult I’ve found. The other two are Kittens from breeders/ catterys in the South East USA. I’ve checked all the breeders via references and through the CFA so I know I’ll be buying from a reputable breeder. A friend found the young adult male (in last pic) for...

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    I’ve found this boy. He’s a little under a year old and also comes from excellent lines. Does he look up to par with Show quality standards?

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    He will always hold a special place in my heart. And luckily I’ve got a surprise litter he sired on the way :redheartpump:. Unfortunately the dam is a doll face (who will be retiring soon) and my male was extreme face with champion bloodlines so I’ll likely only get doll face kittens from his...

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    It was awful!! I’ve just gotten to where I can tell the story without bawling my eyes out. Last Monday he began crying in a weird way so I took him to the vet. I immediately asked them if it could be UTI or blockage bc he was licking himself and I’ve read horror stories about that. My vet...

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    So I found out the Kitten on the red background isn’t the actual Kitten I’d be getting. He’s from their summer litter and isn’t available. The one she’s picked out for me is only about 3 weeks old and it’s just too young for me to tell enough about, especially to go ahead and reserve for that...

    Need Help Deciding On Show/ Breeding Quality Himalayan Male

    Good point @1CatOverTheLine! And very good advice!! I’ve had an extremely sudden and tragic turn in my breeding program. It’s a long and sad story but unfortunately it’s got me at a disadvantage with waiting. I’m having to start over with a new male and in order for him to grow into an adult...
