It will definitely change when you get your show kitty. When I showed Leila I used to have to bath her in two different shampoos one to enhance the black and one to enhance (not colour) the red. I would do the red shampoo on the Tuesday before a show and the black on the Thursday and it would take about two hours to dry her. She never bothered at all, she just sat in the bath while I used the shower on her. None of show cats have ever objected to a bath. All my kittens are bathed at least twice before going to their new homes to get them used to it because of their long coats (Persians) they will almost certainly need bathing sometime in their lifetime and I recommend the new owners bath them every 6-8 weeks |

Kay - do you recommend washing ALL persians at 6-8 week intervals or just show persians or kittens? I haven't bathed mine for a couple of years but they get brushed every couple of days and smell very clean. |

I do recommend that my new owners whether pet or show bath their kitten every 6-8 weeks if poss throughout their life. Obviously it isn't as essentially with pet cats but it is a good idea. If they aren't used to it and suddenly need one due to an upset stomach etc it can be quite a trauma for all concerned . Putting talc through their coats and thoroughly brushing it out is a good idea, it dries up any natural grease there may be. If you want any advice about good shampoos for Persians or any tips just PM me. Kay |
