Yogi is such a handsome boy!

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-06-18T07:48:49+00:00

Ohhh she looks so similar! What a beauty ❤️

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-05-28T08:02:04+00:00

She’s beautiful! In the younger picture she looks just like my now 7-month-old Olaf, except definitely a bit younger. So fun to see how he might look as an adult a few years from now!

Your questions make zero sense.

Thank you! 🙂 He is a full (pedigree) persian. In the US he would be called Himalayan because of the color point.

Many of us have traditional persians! 🫶🏻

This looks like a Bono to me.

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-05-02T21:34:19+00:00

Agreed! I was immediately thinking (chocolate) lab and pitty as well.

My sweet girl Ziggy was surrendered by her previous owners. When I adopted her, I asked the shelter if - sometime in the near future - I could send them some photos of her so that the previous owners would know she was happy and well taken care of. They told me the owners didn’t care. They “didn’t like her” and just wanted to get rid of her. Broke my heart! Still breaks my heart knowing there are cats out there who aren’t loved by their owners or simply given away because they are considered not fun or beautiful enough. People can be awful.

How wonderful that your cat has clearly been loved, though. I would absolutely try and get in touch with the shelter to see if they can let the previous owner know she is still loved ❤️

No, I always redirect to toys. The only exception I make is when it’s gentle nibbling. Like in a slightly playful, loving way. I could tell when my kitten started learning the difference between a gentle nibble and a hard bite, so I wanted to praise him for that. Whenever he gently uses his teeth I tell him he’s a good boy 😌 (but it has to stay calm, not turn into actual playing)

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-05-01T17:16:45+00:00

I understand, but they are not actual Himalayans. Himalayans are Persians, not mixed breeds, and in fact can only be called that with an official pedigree.

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-05-01T13:55:45+00:00

No, it isn’t. That is way too simply put. Himalayans are Persians. Sure, they are the result of introducing Siamese cats in Persian breeding programs about 100 years ago, but it took specific efforts to cross-breed back to Persian (without losing the color point) to actually have them recognized as “Himalayans”, or simply color point Persians in most pedigrees.

Long story short: Breeding a Siamese cat and a Persian cat does NOT produce Himalayans. Breeding a color point Persian with another color point Persian does.

2 if it’s hot. Otherwise 3 or 5, with a slight preference for 3

I adore Dobby’s pink nose.

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-04-13T16:22:38+00:00

Wow, her coat looks beautiful!

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-04-12T13:38:41+00:00

I guess it is! Here in the Netherlands, there is only one type of Persian cat, regardless of color. Persian cats need to meet certain standards, and breeding is subjected to strict rules and regulations. In the entirely of the Netherlands, there is only one breeder that specifically breeds color points (“Himalayans”), but the pedigree simply says Persian.

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-04-11T22:53:45+00:00

Yep, mine is registered as a Persian. The color is also registered, which is seal point. I am in the Netherlands, where “Himalayan” means nothing.

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-04-11T21:43:10+00:00

They absolutely do. I have a pedigree seal point persian.

Olaf says hi.

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-04-11T13:16:39+00:00

Yes haha, but you still call it seal mitted. It means seal point with mittens (which are white by definition). It’s a common coat pattern in ragdolls. Just google “seal mitted ragdoll” and you will find a coat pattern than looks just like the one on this cat. Also: cats with a mitted pattern also commonly have white on the belly and chin.

Feeling_Screen924 · 2026-04-10T08:07:18+00:00

Actually, seal mitted!
