I just hope he finds a wonderful home.
This story has really touched me because he looks so much like my young cat- and the behaviour you describe is so similar.
Cheers

Wish I was closer so I could be in the running for being owned by him - he just touches my soul!

P.S. Sorry to nag, but when do get more pictures, I'm a Starlight addict!

ARRGH! He's matted again! LOL YOu have to let me find time to get him combed out and looking pretty! He only has two mats, but the other day he had none, and I am like "Where did those mats come from?"

Lol hissy, my long haired black kitty is the same way, he'll be fine for a good while - no matts, and then whammy he's got two. Unfortunately they are always near is rear end, he dosen't mind being brushed anywhere but near his rear end.

I went upstairs and looked for a wind machine! I know there isn't one up there, but he has to be getting these matts somehow!

He still is really tender and sore, and although gaining weight, not much stands between him and the comb and the brush right now, so he isn't all soft and fluffy looking like other persians, but he does look better

I swear that boy has the sweeeeetest face. He's so beautiful now, I can't imagine what he'll be like when he gains weight and is 100% healthy without any soreness.


Awwww, I'm so in love.

Oh MA, I know he still has a long way to go but he is sooooo much better! He has a spark in his eyes now and is looking so handsome!

I'm sorry the plans for Starlight's furever home have had to change. However, with MA looking out for his welfare, the right home will happen, in due course.

He is so sweet. I'm not usually much of a Persian fan, but he's just captivating.

Hissy- he is looking so much better in every picture
Beau also seems to matt when I look at him.
Spring/early summer was the worst.
What's helped with Beau's matts- and I'm sure you know more about this than I do- conditioner at the end of a bath, talc/cornstarch can help- especially on the rear (helped stopped bits getting stuck), a slicker brush is not the best if you want the full coat, but helps remove the loose undercoat, and brushing and combing backwards from the tail.
From what you have said about his coat- maybe it didn't take very long for his coat to get into such a bad state.
A relative cared for my cats recently for a 5 days- did her best with grooming-but Beau was a bit skittish with her at first- it took me several days to get all the matts out of Beau's coat when I got back

Looking forward to more pictures and updates
