Persian Cat Breeding

PoC avatarPosted on December 19, 2021 by Michael BroadDecember 19, 2021

Do Persians get too hot when in close contact with people?

PoC avatarPosted on August 17, 2021 by Michael BroadAugust 17, 2021

Dr. John Bradshaw in his book Cat Sense suggests that longhaired cats, particularly Persians, have a reputation for being lethargic. Persian cats do indeed have a reputation for being lethargic and decorative. The general view is that this character trait … continue reading…

Persian cats are lazy for 3 potential reasons

3 reasons why Persian cats are lethargic and apparently lazy

PoC avatarPosted on May 6, 2021 by Michael BroadAugust 29, 2022

Persian cats have a distinct reputation for being lethargic and lazy. There are probably three reasons why this breed has been labelled with this description. The first is that through selective breeding over decades, cat breeders have not only selected … continue reading…

Hypocritical Cat Fanciers’ Association’s utterly confused breed standards

PoC avatarPosted on April 10, 2021 by Michael BroadApril 10, 2021

I don’t want to criticise the almighty Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA), probably the most influential cat association on the planet but…they are hypocritical in a very fundamental way. It has to be stated until they do something about it. Yes, … continue reading…

Are Persian cats lazy?

PoC avatarPosted on August 28, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 28, 2020
