Why would you WANT to still buy one when they are probably are Persian mix. I would say that the kitten has an eye infection or upper respiratory infection?
I thought you were passing on them.

Is this a persian cat?

I am passing on them, I am just surprised to have received positive answers to them from yesterday and I wish to have also the advice of the people who are positive about them too.
I feel mercy for that kiten . . . I have a toooo weak heart for cats.

Hi there - In this subject, I advise you to listen to Sam (wellingtoncats) - she is a Persian Expert, has been breeding for many years, is a judge, etc etc. If she says the kitties ARE Persians, IMO, they ARE... You can PM her if you feel more comfortable...
I personally do not see anything wrong with the eyes, but I might be wrong - as she said, white persians have very hard to keep clean eyes...
Anyways.... PM Sam... Just my 2 cents, for what is worth...
Like her, I too feel they look happy, healthy and well taken care of...
Good luck!
Are the kittens registered?
I respect Sam too, but unless you have papers those kittens may or may not be 100% Persians. They look like it, but can't be totally sure. IMO they are poor pet quality ones if they are.
Just concerned that if the poster buys one of them anyway, they will be either overpriced or have health problems with them. I guess if the poster can really see them in person and see the condition of the place/cats, we won't know for sure.

Agreed - she should go there and check it out, and also see if they do have papers... I rather have a muggie any time than having one poorly bred purebred... A picture will not be enough to prove one way or another...
The kitten in the front.. I know a kitten (well, a teenager now) who has that same problem. Her eyes are constantly bleeding and they look like that. The cat is now over 6months old and still has the problems and propably will have for the rest of her life, so I would not pick that kitten.
It doesn't look like blood to me... it looks like normal white persians' kittens eyes...
I don't mean blood, just don't know what word to use..
Here is a pic of the cat I'm talking about. She has some stuff coming from her eyes all the time, no matter how much they are cleaned. None of her litter mates have this problem. (And as you can see, she is not white or persian..)

white persians' eyes are a whole different ball game...

Bleeding does not have to mean blood, so use of the word is quite correct.Originally Posted by NorthernGlow

Perhaps Sam could give you (or your friend) some tips on keeping the white kitties eyes clean. I think there are products you can buy.
Sorry for the late reply. Just to clarify are you unsure whether the breeder is registered or not? If you are unclear, give them a miss.
You'd hate to visit my house then because you'd see lots of "eye infections" - they just look like normal Persian eyes to me.
Thanks Carolina. I haven't heard anything from the OP but I'm always willing to give my opinion. They look happy and healthy to me.
I'm happy to help with products!
PM me if you need any help.
