Our Lovely Persian. Now With Colour Pics

This is our beautiful persian, Honey. She is 3 years old and still as playful as when she was a kitten. She is a house cat as we live on a busy main road and with the persian cat being susceptible to respiratory problems she only gets limited access to the open air accompanied by myself or my girlfriend in the back garden on her harness lol

She always seems very happy though before anyone says how cruel it is to keep her indoors.
Persians only tend to have a short lifespan as it is and we intend on making it a healthy,happy and safe one.

Excuse the black and white pictures, I was having a play with the digital camera lol. I will upload some colour ones soon.

She's beautiful and very photogenic!

Agreed, she knows she's hot and shows it!

She's gorgeous can we have some colour pics?

Thanks for the comments everyone, will get some colour pics up tonight for you all.

she is a stunner , my persian charlee would love to meet her we also do the same as you regarding keeping him in etc

Now I am pretty sure I replied on this thread already but my post appears to have gone walkies.

Your persian is lovely, but I did wonder where you got the information from regarding their life span as I am pretty sure that when I did my research before getting my persians that they tend to live 15-18 years which is about the same as a moggie cat and if anything longer as I pointed out before, indoor cats are less likely to get run over.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Hi Nina, it was the vet who told us about the short lifespan of them but she could be wrong I suppose. I certainly do hope its 15-18 years as that means she is still a baby lol Anyway, as promised but a little later than hoped, here are some colour photos. Excuse the messy dining table lol

Oh I forgot to add Nina that you had already posted but I had double posted the thread so I had the mods delete the original as I had also forgot to upload the pictures too lol

Thanks everyone

She's gorgeous
My parents used to breed Persians, we have 4 now but their life spans aren't particularly short The vet probably told you that they have short life spans because they are susceptible to breathing problems and particularly prone to diabetes etc, so that may have been why the vet said that Also, I agree with you that it is not cruel at all to keep them indoors, all of our cats are house cats, one of our Persians somehow slipped out and over the fence last July, and as a result he got run over, resulting in a broken back, nearly having to be put down, having his tail amputated & now he has to have his bladder expressed for him bless him.

Anyway, she's gorgeous lol, sorry for hijacking your thread

what a pretty colour she is and obviously she knows how gorgeos she is yo can tell lol
