Stills
Stills is a handsome Persian Male, like unto his CFA Champion dad. He will have large Copper eyes, and a voluminous coat. He is already running through the house at 7 weeks old, using the potty pan like a pro, asking for loves, getting good at being groomed.
Stills has been placed through the MYLYON Waitlist. You are welcome to inquire how to have first option on kittens when they become available. We expect to breed Peach Pitt next year as well.
Kittens begin their grooming process when they are very young. I use a stainless steel tooth comb to brush their coat from the top of the head to the tail. It’s important to gently clean their eyes to remove any debris or exudate using a cotton swab or makeup pad. My aim is to keep the area as dry as possible because moisture can cause brown staining around the eyes. I’ve discovered that avoiding excessive wetting of the area helps minimize staining, so I carefully remove any debris without irritating the eyes. If their eye wells overflow, I sometimes apply cornstarch under the eye, which helps absorb the moisture and is non-toxic.
Garbo
Garbo is an Exotic Shorthair Calico female. Her eyes will get more copper as she matures. She has deep rich colors like her mother. Garbo is very social, underfoot, and busy. The Grandkids have been dressing them up in doll clothes, and hauling them about, which makes them so much better housemates. Garbo is sold and placed through our MYLYON Waitlist.
Grooming Exotic Shorthair & Persian Kittens
Both Persians and Exotics need to be regularly brushed, and bathed. So much better to put a comb through them everyday, a minute or 2 job, rather than to wait for them to mat and have to shave them down. The Exotic SHorthair has a really dense undercoat, by the age of 4 weeks I am regularly removing loose and dead hair that is tightly stuck in that under coat. Take the steel toothed comb and pull through from the deepest part of the coat. Dont skip the hard parts leg pitts, hind end, tail, down the legs and foot pads, under the chin, and under the ears. These places seem to get greasy, or dirty and then the hair clumps there. The rule is bath with a cat approved shampoo, possibly a whitening cat shampoo, and rinse like crazy. I occasionally use Hand Goop found in the walmart car parts area for removing oil and grease from hands. I use this stuff first to remove the oils, then shampoo and creme rinse. I often will bath my white cats up to twice a month, especially when they are babies. After the cream rinse until the water runs clear then rinse 5 more times LOL. Any residue left will take the poof out.
