Oh, I am sorry that happened to you, you must have been heart brokenOriginally Posted by HopeHacker
There are Himmy/Persians without the peked face, Persi for example isn't peked faced.
I have only had experience with a Persian. He was a bi-colour black and white. He shed a LOT. I didn't have time to brush him daily, and he didn't like being brushed, so I brushed him every couple of days, and it was always a major ordeal. He just hated brushing.
I would pick a Ragdoll, however. My Persian died at a young age, and the Vet told me they're not as strong as other cats. I don't know if this was true or if it was a bias against Persians. He just told me, that if he were another breed, he might be able to save him, but because he was a Persian, he wasn't strong enough. However, I might consider a doll faced Persian. They might be a bit stronger, physically, I don't know. I love the look of a doll faced Persian.
I don't know if that is true of himi/persians or not, if they aren't a stronger breed, but it is true of ragdolls, they are a pretty hardy, sturdy breed. I am sure they all have their strenghts and weaknesses, it's all indiviual, but ragdolls are hardy and will hold it's own
