She's pretty! She looks a lot like a British Longhair, is she purebred or a mix?

We adopted "Sunshine" from a rescue group and then contacted the Breeder to learn more about her! She was 13 months old! The breeder contacted us to tell us that she was "retiring" Sunshines Mother, Heidi and asked if we were interested in adopting her! We said yes and when we went to pick her up we saw, "Snowflake" who is an "ODD EYED" Persian! One green eye and one blue! She is deaf and was 8 weeks old! She looks like the kitty in the "Will you marry us?" commercial! Our 43rd anniversary was two weeks away so we adopted her too!

Oh wow! She doesn't look like a Persian at all! I could have sworn she's at least part British Long- or Shorthair. O__o Is she registered?? Whatever she is, she's beautiful.

As you can see in my signature, there's a pic of my BLH queen Luna, and the facial features to your Snowflake are almost identical (outcluding the color of course, Luna is black silver shaded point).
This is her around 4 months old:

Northern Glow!

Luna is "Beautiful"! Her eyes are exceptional! Heidi and Sunshine are registered but "Snowflake" was not! Her mother is registered as was her father! Her mother is "Izzy" and her father is "Link" who is "Sunshine of My Lifes" brother!

I love to chase Heidi and jump on her! I'm much faster than her! When she tries to get me I hide under the bedroom dresser!

They're just gorgeous!

Does being deaf hinder Snowflake at all? (Pardon me for asking, but our Tabby is deaf in one ear, although it doesn't seem to bother her. She has trouble finding the sources of noises sometimes, but that's about it.)

Snowflake doesn't seem to hear NO like our other cats! But we don't believe it's part of her loss of hearing! She is just super mischievious! She may be deaf in one ear! She occasionally hears certain sounds! It seems her visual sense is hightened! For example she'll react to her can of treats as soon as I pick it up! The other cats don't react till they hear the noise of the shaken can! Our greatest concern is that "danger Noises" can't be heard! The night that we adopted her she found a small hole under our master bath cabinet and crawled under the Jacuzzi tub! She couldn't hear us calling her! The breeder suggested putting a lid of soft tuna cat food in the cabinet (after we removed the repair access grid) and in about one minute she came out after smelling the food! It's amazing at times what decibles she can hear! Usually lower pitch, scratching sounds seldom loud noises or hand clapping, (Like the other cats)

Sophie who we lost earlier this year, went deaf and blind (detached retina) from High Blood pressure before she passed away! The blindness which came and went was more difficult for her to handle! It was sad to watch her walk in circles and bump into walls! However, after a few days she learned hoe to navigate to find her food and water and her litter box! We still miss her so much but her loss enabled us to adopt Sunshine, Heidi and Snowflake!

Your kitties are beautiful too! Our first kitty was Lucifer who we adopted in Louisville and we took to the Virgin Islands where I worked at a refinery! He moved to Nj with us and lived to 14 yrs! Your Hokus looks like our Onyx who we adopted from a rescue group with his sister Mandy. (They were Himalayan mixes) We were told they were both females but Onyx seemed to "act like a Boy" and sure enough he was! Good thing we had them spayed and neutered early enough! One of your cats reminds of us "Pushka" who we adopted from a NJ shelter! She had been badly abused and it took her 4 years to socialize and trust people! Thanks for taking care of your kitties!
