Yola's persians now viewing!!!

Hello, and welcome to my fury family. I have 3 persians; having been persuaded 8 years ago that a home isn't a home without a cat I opted for the chic and high maintenance (bit like me *snarf*), persians.

This is Baliero (Balie). Balie is a blue self. He's my 1st ever cat, and he's a nervous little boy. He's now 8 1/2 years old

But he's still my baby!!

This is Firenza, aka FIFI. She's a lilac cream and SUCH a minx. She wiggles her little furry buttski at anyone who even looks at her. She's show quality and her temperament is perfect. She's 8 years old now!!

And lastly, this is Darcy. He's the rescue I got from CP earlier this year. He's cream and about 4 years old. This is the puppy of cats . . . he is constantly at my heels and in my lap. He was a very much loved cat but sadly his owner died of cancer and her mother took her on but was unable to cope with Dusty (as he was then called) in addition to a husband with Alzheimers. We wasn't deliberately neglected, but coupled with I think his own displacement distress, he stopped eating, got matted and had to be handed over to CP. 6 months later no home had been found for him and I became aware of him and the rest . . . is history. I love him to bits. He's a tiny, funny little chap isn't he??

And here they are all together . . . 1, 2, 3, ahhhhhhh

they are so beautiful - when I was a kid we used to have a half persian cat called Lisa - she lived to be 19 years old - a lot of work brushing their coat though

They are all stunning Yola!

It was very good of you to rescue that little chap and I think it shows he loves you for it very much

Actually - they're not too bad you know! As Balie and Fifi have grown older they haven't needed nearly as much brushing as they used to need. They still need occasional eye wiping, but mostly clean their own faces now. I give them anti-tooth decay gel once a week and they also get a once-a-week wash and brush-up.

Darcy is quite high maintenance as he was shaved before I got him to get rid of the matts (you can see how short his fur is in the 3-some pic). This has played havoc with his moulting schedule and he seems to be permanently shedding. This leads to constant furballs

but hopefully that will settle down soon.
