p the main rule of breeding - to cross similar with similar, i. e. bright with bright, smokes with smokes, chinchillas with chinchillas and so on. This theme is rather difficult, that's why you'd better to consult a club.
| What kittens can Blue Exot (father is Red, mother is Blue-Cream Smoke) and White Persian she-cat (father is Black Smoke, mother is White) have? She-cat had different eyed sister in the litter, can my cat have different eyed kittens from Blue Exot? I want also to buy Blue Tabby cat-female. Will she have Tabby kittens? |
Your match will have white kittens with any color of eyes. There can be equally colored and Smokes among colored kittens - Black and Blue, and also Tortoiseshell and Blue Cream are possible (we can speak exactly if we have the pedigree of cat-female). The birth of Red kittens and Cameo is also possible, but only cats and only in the case if white cat-grandmother have Red or Tortoiseshell color of ancestor. Tabby animals always give birth to pattern kittens. Tabby is a prepotent color. |
| My cat is of modern type, color is Red Tabby. What partner will be the best? |
The best is to cross similar with similar... And more better is to learn pedigree to discover all potential. If not to delve into genetics, the best partner is Red Tabby, Black Tabby, equal Black or Points and Bicolors of the same colors. |
Black Silver Tabby she-cat PER ns 11 21 (from cat-female PER ns 11 and cat PER n 33) crossed with my Cream White cat PER å 03 (from cat-female EXO g 03 and cat PER n 33). Kittens were born:
- Blue Cream Tortoiseshell on white PER g 03;
- Siver Tabby Tortouseshell on white PER fs 03 23;
- Color-Point ns 33.
What kittens from this litter can get "Baby card" for the further receiving of pedigree? |
Pedigrees can be validated for all kittens. Pedigree is the certification of origin, but not a guarantee of pedigree use or exhibition career. You must know for yourself that crossings of Color-Points with Bicolor are forbidden for Persian breed. I don't recommend to repeat the risky crossing again. You can receive whole litter of bicolor Color-Points, which will be a defect in the color. |
| I have Black Tabby Persian cat, he is 8 month. He has not very fluffy hair as some Persians have, but the picture is clear, though the tone is slightly cold. Does it tell somehow on examination? And I worry about his eye color. I can't say that he has clear orange color, there is another color around the pupil, wether greenish or yellowish, and by artificial light I don't see it. Is it a defect or too earlier to judge about final eye color? |
Final forming of the color is 10-12 month. Browns' eyecolor develops before 2 years, that's why I advise to make an examination only after the formation of hair and eye color. Still, examination is subjective, that's why some experts can consider not enough painted over color as a defect, another - as the norm of development for the given age. |
| Our White Persian cat (1,5 years old) has chlorine eye color. Is it a defect? And what teeth formula must Persian cats have? |
White cat doesn't have a right to have green eyes. Only orange, dark-blue or different eyes. If your cat is Silver Chinchilla (practically white, but pads and inking of eyes and lips are black), then green eyes are the sign of color and norm. Sorry, that it is so in detail, just people sometimes don't have documents and call the wrong color... Teeth must have straight or scissor bite, at this overbite/underbite mustn't be more than 4 mm. And upper fangs must settle outside from lower fangs on the equal distance. The number of cutting teeth and their position are not treated by the standard |
| My Persian kitten has wrong bite. Is it a defect? Will it prevent him to eat? |
All changes of bite are defects for exhibition animal. Depends on the degree of demonstration this defect can relate to defects (i. e. signs, allowing the pedigree use and participation in the show). Defects of bite is often harmless for normal life. Cat trains himself fast to use teeth given him by nature (or teach his owner to feed his Majesty from hand)! Sometimes defects of bite can improve by means of removing a tooth or teeth (especially if it is done in the childhood) and massage. If the defect of your cat is overbite the massage will not help. You need just to take into consideration this peculiarity of cat and give him comfortable crockery with low sides for the fodder or pour the fodder in the flat saucer. |
| Do Persian Classics exist? He has more elongated face. |
"Classics" is slangy name of Persian with old type (elongated face, long nose and so on). These are animals of pat-quality ("domestic favourite"). |
| I bought Chinchilla cat without documents because for me it's not important and I didn't want to spend money for their registration. I'm not sure if he is really pedigree, but he is look like it by description and photos, only he has yellow eyes. Is it right? Or must eyes be green? |
Chinchilla with yellow eyes is called "pewter". This is acceptable color. But I don't think that you will love the kitten less if he is born from not very titled ancestry... |
| What nurseries do take up the breeding of Chinchillas? |
Nursery Fieryland takes up Chinchillas in the club Alisa-Best, telephone (095) 348-92-46, Irina. |
| Is the Persian's face a consequence of selection work? I heard by the TV that kittens were cut off noses, in the process of what such face was formed. Is it true? |
...And I heard that they are rapped against the wall in the childhood (to be quite flat)! And also heard that all Persians are syphilitics! Of course, short nose of the Persian, his hair and stoutish, compact body are the consequence of centenary selection work. Now breeders continue to work over giving their face "sweet", baby expression. Because gloomy look of Persians admired not many people... |
| Can Persian have a little seat on the face? |
Oyur question is not understandable... Do you mean transfer from forehead to the nose? No, a little stop doesn't fall into the standard. Short nose with clear stop is needed. |
| What should I do for the cat not to "kitten"? |
You need to do sterilization (simple surgical operation) for the cat not to "kitten". Otherwise cancer of uterus, mammary glands and other gaieties happen from pills and injections. All this chemistry can be used as one-time measure once 2-3 years. |
