Persian cat breed info
The Persian cat is one of the most popular cat breeds in the world, and Persian kittens are sought after even more than Persian cats. Persian cats have long, soft fur that is short to medium in length. Persian cats also have large eyes, small ears, and very distinctive noses – flat or turned-up at the tip.
Persian cat history
The Persian cat breed is one of the oldest cat breeds in the world. It was developed in Persia (Iran) over 1,000 years ago! The Persian cat’s ancestors were brought back from faraway lands by sailors who traveled with them on trading ships around 600 B.C. Traveling salesmen then used these furry little kitties as “demonstrators” when showing their wares to sell in the Persian bazaars. The Persian cat’s long, soft fur was prized by royalty and nobility as a sign of status and wealth!
Persian kitten information
Persian kittens are one of the most popular Persian cat colors and patterns: they weigh on average between 3 to 5 pounds when fully grown and have very soft, dense coats. Persian kittens will be ready for their new homes at around 12 weeks old. Persian cats can live anywhere from about 15 years up to 20 years with the right care.
How old does a Persian cat have to be to breed?
18 months old is considered safe for breeding Persian cats because female Persians are able-bodied at this age – but there are exceptions. It is not advised to let Persian kittens outside before they are spayed or neutered. Persian cats tend to be lazy and overweight, so it is crucial to provide them with plenty of nutritious food and daily exercise. Persian kittens can also be quite delicate – especially when handled by small children!
How long do Persian kittens stay with their mother?
Persian cats will wean their babies around 5 weeks old, but they usually continue nursing until the Persian kittens are 7-8 weeks old. Around 8 weeks is a good time to separate the Persian kitten from its mom and move it into its new home (if you plan on having your Persian cat as an indoor pet).
Where should Persian kittens sleep?
It is best for Persian kittens to sleep in a clean area away from their litter box where they can feel safe and secure. Persian kittens can sleep in a cardboard box lined with towels or blankets – make sure there are no loose threads from the towel material that Persian cats could get tangled up in! Persian cats will typically use their litter boxes until they reach around 12 weeks old.
How often should Persian kittens be fed?
Persian kittens should have enough food available to them at all times so they do not have to wait for their food dish to be refilled. They also need fresh water readily available as Persian cats to drink a lot of water throughout the day!
Are Persian cats good with children?
Persian cats tend to be very gentle and patient, but because they are so big and soft, it is best for children who want to hold Persian kittens to be at least 5 years old. Persian kittens can also nip and scratch if they feel threatened – it is important for Persian kittens and their owners to establish a safe and healthy relationship!
