What type of trimmer are you using? I also need to trim my white cat every year before summer. But the trimmer cuts his hair real short. He is angry with me each time I do that ....
I help my tiger cat "Siumi" cut hair once per year, usually before summer. It usually take me 30 mins. to trim his hair and 20 mins. for bathing and hair drying.
They failed because they didn't do their homework and just based on "common sense" or "street info".
I have heard that in Western countries, some tried inter-breed with Persian as well. Unfortunately, the result was not so good as the defect of the nose problem gets worse if mated with SF.
Good for you. You really worked / studied on this.
Oh, the term Scottish Shorthair comes from this reason....ha..ha. Thanks for telling me that.
I know that the chance of having "fold" is at max. 50% out a one litter, normally it is far less. I have also learned that the kitties may have their ears straighthen up as they get older ... but don't know that a way to prevent that is to keep them "cool" .... COOL!
I know that the "fold" actually is a genetic defact. I have heard that people may want the "fold" to mate with other similar breeds like the BShorthair or so to reduce the chance of getting the defective gene as the dominant gene. Perhaps that is why the chance of getting a "fold" is less than 50%
I got two cats. The white one is an Angora; that is the one I use as the logo.
The black one is a Persian. However, it is not easy to take good photos of him as he is so dark..... If I use Flash, he becomes brownish instead of Black.
Scotland Shorthair? You mean a Scottish Fold? I have heard that they don't live long, one gets to the age of 12 is considered is already lucky. My brother got a Scottish Fold which looks like your Jack boy.
It looks like many MALE Hi Fi fans are also cat lovers! By far, there are the two of you here + KK Ho + Muka + me. In the past, there was another friend from England called "t" and my friend from Netherlands "Koifarm". Just wonder whether there are other cat fans not yet revealed themselves.
