I had someone inquiring about a kitten and wanted to know if i had a picture of them next to a coke can? Anyone else heard of that? Thats a new one to me. and seemed a bit..weird. But maybe theres a purpose. I dont know about
That was my only thought too.Originally Posted by Denice
The only thing I can think of is to get an idea of the kittens size. It's visual and they can get a better idea than just from weight.
Seems like you can buy a teacup anything today....Originally Posted by Renovia
oh my gosh, i've never heard of toy/teacup persians. do they really have those? that's pretty insane. ugh.
Here in the uk we like our Persians BIG!!!!! not tiny. I once had a litter with a little dwarf kitten, which was highly unusual and can only be put down to a freak of genetics. He was perfect in every way but ended up losing his battle for life at 11 weeks old, so obviously something was not right. Hold on a sec, I'll just get a photo of Salem for you.........ChrissyOriginally Posted by ScamperFarms
Yeah its pretty sad. Its a designer gimic really. And I won't do it. IMO persians are on the smaller side to start with. and breeding them down purposely...is silly and just a gimic for more money. I did have two, kittens in my litters that are Smaller, but we havent labeled them as Teacup, and wouldnt purposely.try for them.
