Re: persian cybercat


Yes it is Mags, then they just thinks it a part of life - but her persian is 9 years old and still hates it - as Sam said if they hate it there is not much you can do about it!

Re: persian cybercat


i start brushing my babies from 2 weeks then they dont mind ,they also get 2 baths before they leave so that being bathed and blow dried is just part of life.The boy i have that hates being brushed was not started on till 10weeks old which is way to old.Theres no way i would even try to bath him,there would be serious damage to me .Hes a lovely cat just not been taught about persian life style

Re: persian cybercat


Maybe that is why my mums cat hates it - the breeder might not have brushed him!! My mum got him at 12 weeks.

Re: persian cybercat


sounds like it Abbi.If there started late its just one big battle that you never really win.They let you go so far and thats it.My lads breeder hadnt even introduced him to family life.Been penned all through his kitten hood so had real culture shock when he came home to me.This was only a few years ago and some breeders still bring up kittens this way.

Re: persian cybercat


Sounds like some little kitties don't get any affection at all before they go to their new homes.

But how can these people not fall for a tiny, helpless, beautiful kitten?

Re: persian cybercat


I suppose some people just see it as a job and an income, I know if it was me I would have trouble selling them, I would end up with a house full of cats!!!

Re: persian cybercat


Too true! I know I would get too attached to them and there would probably be waterworks after each one left home

Re: persian cybercat


The worst ones are the ones you hand rear.I get so attached but i know they will have a fab home as im very careful where my babies go.Dosnt stop me crying when they go through the door like my last one.boy did i cry.Their new owners can give so much more then i can as i have a houseful.They never want for anything which is the main thing

Re: persian cybercat


The breeder who I got my Amber from was the most wonderful person and we both cried when I took Amber away - she loved the kittens so much - we are still in touch now 2 years on!
