"Matata" at home in Mumbai (Saturday 30-5-2009)

I have bred "Doll Faced persian kittens" by mating my 1 year 8 months old white persian cat "Matahari" with the local pet shop stud cat, also a white doll faced. Surprisingly, Queen cat "Matahari" delivered 6 kittens after a gestation period of 67 days, the extreme limit for delivery in cats. 5 of the kittens are white while one has turned into a beautiful freak "Orange colour" a total rarity in "doll faced Persians".

I have bred these persians in Mumbai city under normal humid and hot climatic conditions to demonstrate that "persian cats" are not as delicate or "High Maintenance" cats except the initial "Purchase Price" of a beautiful kitten and the daily hair grooming.

I have posted a photo of "Matata" at 2 months old, no relation to "Hakuna Matata" from the movie "Lion King".
