Recently I bought a kitten (Persian, 2 months old), but also I have parrot karella, who get used to fly freely all over flat. Tell, please, how much cat can be dangerous for the parrot and if they can to make friends. They can make friends but first few weeks you need to control their communication.
Prompt, please, what it is necessary for joining to the club. Cat's parents have pedigree, but when I bought the kitten we didn't make the documents for him. You need to ask the breeder (owner of cat-mother) to make official the copulation and litter and documents for your kitten in her club. If it is impossible your kitten will be considered to be outbred.
I need your advise very much. I have two Himalayan cats (1 and 1,6 years old). We are very attached to each other. In spring I have to go for 3 months to Russia (I live in Canada now). How is it better to do: take them with me or entrust them to somebody to visit during these 3 months? What stress is less for them? Is it true that Extremes have problems with respiratory system during the flight? If there is no problem with the return to Canada (I know that some part of Canada has quarantine laws), it is better to take your cats with you. There are not any problems except usual rocking during the flight. This is the least stress for cats than to stay with strangers.
Tell, please, about Himalayan cats. These are Persian cats of Siamese color. Any color variations are allowed except color-point with white. Keeping and care don't differ from keeping of Persians of other colors.
My Persian cat (2 months) can't wash at all. Even when I washed her she didn't lick herself. Will she be cleanly someday? Alas, there is nothing to advise you. Usually refusal from hygiene is typical for those cats who were weaned early - they just don't have skills of washing. So your only hope is that nature will tell or to wash her once 5-10 days by yourself.
I'd like to know how much Persian cats live. Mine is 9 years old, he began to grow bald and one fang fell out. Will he die soon? Alas, age of Persian cats is short - 8-10 years. But your nursling is in excellent shape! Don't think about bad things, this is normal age-specific changes.
I have two Siamese cats (he-cat and she-cat). Sonn kittens will be born. Cats are 2 years old. My friend wants to give me old Persian cat, he is 14 years old and he is gelding. Question: is it worth to take the cat to the house? It is better to take new one when there are no kittens in the house, otherwise mother can begin to defend them. But if you can give the Persian separate room and acquaint him with Siameses prudently and under supervision, nothing bad will gappen. But, better try to talk out your friend of such cruel step. Let the pensioner live calmly the alloted time.
Tell, please, what the duration of life cats have. I have Persian Chinchilla Golden cat, he is 8 years. 10-20 years. Persians live 12-14 years.
My Persian cat is 8,5 years old. Recently she felt herself very bad, she was throwimg up, she lay, didn't get up, didn't drink and eat. Doctors say nothing. You need to do US examination of unternal for the exception of serious diagnosis. But, most probably the reason of indisposition is hair lump in the stomach. It often happens with adult Persians in the spring period.
What do the maximal term of pregnancy Persian cats have? Our cat has 66 days of pregnancy. 65-71 days. Usually cats overgo when there is a gig number of kittens.
My cat is 8 months. He has not pedigree and I'm not going to use him as sire. So the question about the castration arises. But the matter is that he doesn't show the sexual activity, doesn't yell, doesn't mark. Maybe I shouldn't geld him? Especially I heard that the condition of the hair become worse after the castration. Probably you are just lucky. But if he begin to show excess activity, there is never late to geld him. Gelding animals have more beautiful condition because full value animal has hormone stresses, caused by sex cycle.
At what age is it better to geld Persian kitten? From 6 till 14 months. Development of the cat is of no importance, the main is that testicles were in scrotum. For Persian optimal age of castration is 10-11 months.
My Persian cat's, who is 7 years old, front fang fell out. Why? Because of age...alas... but the absence of fangs and cutting tooth wil not disturb her. In elder age you need to give her softer food.
I have Exotic she-cat at the age of 2 years and Persian he-cat (1 year old). Why don't we still have kittens, though they copulated? I recommend you to make US examination of ovary.
I have Persian cat, boy, he is 7 months old. He has wry tooth, he always crunches with them as if wants to break them. He eats a little because of it, we feed him by force. Can we fight with it somehow or we need dentist? At this age only the removing of pair of fangs can help. But before going to the dentist, visit a vet for the examination and removing of other reasons of bad appetite
Cat is 2.5 years old. He has dry nose from birth. Sometimes there are charges of grey color from the nose. We tried to smear the nose with "Tykveol", but cat licks the oil and everything remains the same. Maybe I should show him to the doctor? I would recommend you to make examinations for bugs, in particular, rhinotracheitis.
Tell me if the Extreme cat is subjected to any disease. One cat died from cat's plague a year ago. Now cat suffers from chronical stomatitis. Little cat has constant problems with eyes... Before I had Angora and I didn't know any "leprosy" except fleas... Yes, unfortunately, some pedigree lines are subjected to any disease. Regular course of adjuvants and vitamins helps, for example, immunofana and gamavit. But for faster treatment I recommend to make analysis and find out concrete infection, which sticks to your nurslings.
Our Persian cat is 4 years old. She yells often. Her appetite disappears during the heat, she is very active. All lasts about 10 days and then she sleeps few days (about week) and begins to yell again. We try to give her "CatBayun", we are afraid of giving strong preparations. She doesn't allow cats to approach. What should we do? Are such frequent periods of heat normal? Frequent heats are the index of excellent health. But, if you don't plan the copulation, it is better to sterilize her. Otherwise your cat doesn't insure against cancerous diseases of uterus and ovaries. If you decide to copulate her you need to bring her to the experienced bridegroom and leave there for 5-7 days. It is not recommended to bring the he-cat to the she-cat's house, especially if the she-cat is virgin.
I have Persian kitten (Red Point, 6 months old). His tail is broken (from birth) at the bottom and in the middle. Is it a defect? How can it be reflected on the condition of health? It will not reflected on the condition of the health. This genetic defect is cosnetical but it is passed on inherently. Your kitten can not be used in the breeding but he will be excellent companion for the home.
Silver Chinchilla, she is 3 years old. She gave birth to 5 and 6 kittens twice. Last time she gave birth to 5 kittens but 3 of them died in 1 day (they was born very little). What reasons can be? Maybe it is owners' fault? The lack of coincidence of parent's blood groups is the most probable here, i. e. breast milk "killed" children. Try to find another husbend or address to the first bridegrooms.
I want to buy Persian kitten. But I don't know if it is boy or girl. I want kitten with calm character and smarter kitten. And without problems with toilet. Boys are more calm, girls are woth higher intellect. As a rule... But every rule has an exception. You need to go to the nurseries and choose character of kitten. Character is seen at the age of 2,5 months. At this age kittens are teached to the toilet. It is simplier to geld he-cat and they are more massive. If you plan the participation in the exhibitions or receiving of the kittens, I recommend to take a girl. It is more difficult with boy-sire, even if he is Persian. i can help you to choose the kitten among nurslings of our club if you live in Moscow. Tel. 506-84-56, Svetlana.
How to determine the age of Persian cat? To visit a club or vet. Age is determined by the structure of the hair, development of had and condition of teeth by experienced person.
Solve, please, the dilemma: can the Persian cat weigh 25 kg? He can't. If he is healthy and wants to live!
I bought the kitten, White Persian with blue eyes, which begin to change the tint. To my mind, he is deaf, he has no reaction on sounds, only on what he sees. I wonder, is this deafness temporary for the period of growing or is it forever? Deafness of white cats is genetically well-founded phenomena. Alas, it will not over with age. Usually, deaf cats, living in the flat, don't suffer from it. But pedigree and exhibition career is closed for your kitten...
My Persian kitten (Persian, she-cat, 4 months old) has a strange step: she stands back pads uncertainly and turn off sharply, jumping down from the height, she hold the back part of the body badly. It is a lack of calcium on the organism. Feed her with cottage cheese and vitamins with calcium and yeast.
Can I change brewer's yeast for dry yeast if the kitten recovered from virus and his hair fall out under the influence of antibiotics. I always give dry brewer's yeast, also quail eggs. It is the great stimulator of health after bugs.
We have cat, Exot, age is 4 months. Few days ago diarrhea appears, it is not watery but frequent and it is seen that cat suffers, though she behave herself as usual. We didn't change the fodder. We don't want to bring her to vet in such condition for now. You need to give medicines of the first aid - ? furasolidon and 1/6 chloramphenicol 3 times a day. If diarrhea doesn't stop, I recomment to make analysis for helminth/protozoa and dysbacteriosis. Was some contacts - exhibitions, buying of another kitten? Fodder didn't change... Didn't you change the sort of fodder, but fed from new packet? Or did you give meat from another shop? I need to know all details about nutrition.
At what age is it not late to geld the cat? I have White Persian, he is 4 months old. The age of castration is from 4 months till 5-6 years. Persians are cats of late development, that's why the optimal time for their castration is not younger than 8 months.
I have Persian cat, she is 11 months. Now we prepare to the exhibition. I need to do him the vaccine against rabies. We have only Russian vaccines in our veterinary hospitals. But I've read that cats died from them. Do you know such cases? What vaccines do you use? I use our Russian vaccine Rabicun or foreign Nobivac-Rabies. Softer preparation is French Quadricat, which includes antivirus components. There was none case of complication after the injection. I know that neither Sphinxes nor Persians didn't have any problems in our club.
1. What vaccinations do I need to do Persians? Is it necessary?
2. How can the allergy on the cat be shown? Does it appear at once or gradually?
3. It worries me very much, because Persian cat lives for a week in our house and the last day my child had cough and colod in the head. There was nothing at first. Is it possible to fight with allergy? Or there is only one way out - to give back the cat? 		1. Vaccinations against bugs are necessary for cats of any breed, and if cat visits exhibitions or goes to the country, she needs vaccination against rabies. Persians are the weakest cats aught to viruses, especially respiratory (nose is short) and they die without defend.
2. here is allergy on hair and cat's pheromones (active matter of hormone origin). Usually it develops at once, from 1 till 10 hours after appearance of "allergen" in the house. Asthmatic effects, which develop with time, are the reaction on the dust and hair.
3. Certainly it is not allergy. Though you can check it only on practice - visit grandmother. Is the health of the child restored for 1 day? If it is not , this is not allergy. If it is, every day moist cleaning and everyweek washing of the cat will help. Usually it is enough to get rid of such symptoms as cough and cold in the head.
I bought Persian cat. In some time I found the formation like cold sore on the palate. She is 4 months. We made analysis, she was found out staphylococcus, streptococcus, pasterella. How difficult is it to treat? Is it pass on human? Diseases of cars are not infectious for human. At least for human with healthy immunity. Enumerated diseases are treated, but for a long time. Cycle of treatment and rehabilitation period are very long. If you believe in yourself, then term of full recovery will take 1-3 months. And the main is love your kitten for him not to feel himself as social outcast...
We have cat, we didn't copulate her. I've read in your answers that it is necessary to copulate cat on the 2nd -3rd day. What if she marks beds (in purpose), pisses with a touch of blood for 3rd week? We were said that only cat or sterilization will help. What should we do? Maybe it is not heat, but problems with kidneys? I'm not veterinary, but I think your cat has problems with the health. Healthy cat doesn't have discharges with blood during the heat. Any discharges must not be seen... You need to go to the doctor for US examination to know exact diagnosis. It can be inflammatory process in uterus or cystitis. Also you need to make analysis of urine for saults. And behaviour of the cat is most probably just attempts to pay attention on her.
My cat has fungus (herpes). How is it better to treat the animal and to disinfect the flat? The best in Russia is to use reparation Trimicid. If you are abroad, we'll find another method - use in complex Nizoral-shampoo (to wash every 5 days) and Nizoral-pills (1/6 once a day during 3-4 weeks). Smear centers with the same Nizoral (cream). You need to quartz the flat or work up with Domestos. Furniture and curtains also wash or work up with Verkon or any other disiinfectant.
Our cat died suddenly a months ago, we even didn't have time to bring him to the veterinary. During 2 months he grew thin, there were spasms, foam from the mouth, short breath as if he was lack of air... Tell, why he died. Can we buy another cat in a month? If the autopsy was not performed it is better to disinfect the flat before buying another animal. All bowls and trays must be new.
Persian cat, 8 months old, Color-Point, has shorter hair on the neck behind collar than on the rest parts of body. With what is it connected? Your kitten begins to change his hair for adult hair. Moult (change of hair) usually begins from the head and the back of the neck. Gradually line of moult widens and continues on the back and collar. At this period I recommend frequent washing (with obligatory drying with hair-drier, otherwise hair will darken) and everyday combing.
