Mumbai Traditional Persian Cat

Kirti, i haven't personally stayed in Delhi although i understand that Delhi's climatic conditions are extreme's, cold in winter and hot in summer. Persian cats are from cold climatic conditions and since i am successful at breeding them in Mumbai's humid climate i presume Delhi would be suitable, although the summers are hotter than Mumbai..

Rudolph,

Hi Rudolph, I changed the title because I think you have hit on something that I find interesting and thank you by the way for your post. I hope that you don't mind. Because I changed the title I also moved the post to the Persian cat page.

It could be argued that India (well Southern India) should create its own sub-breed of Traditional Persian cat, as you say, because the coat and indeed the body conformation of the Persian cat is not suited to the hot and humid climate of Southern India.

Although the north of India is more like Persia (Iran) with the mountains etc. so the Persian would be at home there.

The Persian cat is meant to come from Persia (Iran) where the climate is generally cold winters and hot summers so the thick coat would be suitable for the climate.

But Mumbai is not Persian cat conditions! So, it would interesting to speculate on an Indian cat fancy (Indian Cat Association - ICA) creating a new sub-breed of Persian cat with a single coat and a more slender body (foreign type); in short the Mumbai Traditional Persian Cat.

The Abyssinian cat is meant to have originated from an area not far from Mumbai and its coat and body conformation (foreign or slender) is more suited to hot weather.

Is it time for the hot weather Persian?! Matata is gorgeous looking. The coat colour is very nice. I see you have a nice cool marble or travertine floor. Matata is a bit tubby which also makes her hotter I guess. My cat is overweight too. I have put her on a diet all her life (17 years) but she always beats me in discussions about food. In fact she always beats me on any subject.
