TERMS OF USE   |© COPYRIGHT 1997-2016 BASHIR PERSIAN RUGSDoll face Persian kittens are closer to the original breed type. See how they differ from today's show Persians and why they may be slightly easier to keep as pets. Although organizations like the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) maintain one breed standard for Persian cats, there are two distinctly different types of Persians within the fancy. The main difference is in the structure of their heads. Compare the two images below to see just how different these two types of Persians can be. Breeders who support maintaining the traditional doll face-type of Persian say health considerations are one of the strongest reasons to continue breeding for the original type. The extreme style of the show Persian's head can lead to excessive tearing, and that can lead to facial staining. A flat-faced Persian needs to have its face wiped on a daily basis to keep it clean and prevent sores from developing due to all the moisture and resulting bacteria.

Like other pets with a brachycephalic head structure, including Pekingese dogs and Pug dogs, some show-type Persians may also experience upper respiratory problems and difficulty breathing that are directly related to their extremely short noses, especially during very warm weather. Registered Catahoula Puppies For SaleTake extra care to keep these kittens out of the heat.Levolor Blinds Replacement Brackets Due to their more normal head structure, doll face Persians typically don't face these same issues.Cockapoo Puppies Sale Alabama The following catteries are a few examples of breeders who raise doll face Persian kittens. Check out their photo galleries to make sure this is the type of kitten you're looking for.

You'll also find a list of doll face breeders from around the world on the TCA breeders page. LoveToKnow does not endorse any breeder and recommends that no matter who you may want to purchase a kitten from, be sure to check out each breeder thoroughly before entering any transaction. Also make sure your kitten is vet checked and comes with a written health guarantee. Except for the difference in head structure and the resulting difference in looks, both types of Persians still have luxurious coats and very pleasing temperaments. These are relatively quiet kittens that grow up to be very calm cats. Both can make wonderful, beautiful feline companions, and both still need a lot of grooming to keep their long coats in good shape. However, the show type Persian will need the extra facial grooming on a daily basis. If you don't mind washing your pet's face each day, this won't be a problem. If you prefer not having to deal with this extra grooming, the doll face Persian may be a better choice for you.

You can break an egg or peel a banana, and find hair in it. I now have a Siamese. He doesn't seem to shed at all, but he's a screamer. My neighbours reported me to SPCA for "animal abuse".

Having a cat is great, not only because they're such good buddies but because they repel ANAL PEOPLE! Anal people are almost always allergic to cats (and 37 other things).

Having a cat means that you can invite the anal person from work to your party but not have to worry that they will actually show up! I'm having a party at my place on Saturday and... oh, I forgot, you're allergic to cats. always so unfriendly and unwilling to play with you. But that's no reason to abuse the poor guy lol! All the Siamese I've ever known were very friendly and affectionate. Sushi loves hanging around with my son and they play all the time. (I called the guy in charge of the animal abuse hotline and told them my neighbours think I'm torturing a cat. He was laughing his a$$ off, because he has two Siamese of his own and he knows they never shut up. He told me they'll have to follow up a complaint, but not to worry about it.)Parents agonize over the right names for their child; children take gleeful delight in the naming of a pet; big corporations pay enormous sums of money to ensure that a new brand or product enters the marketplace with the right name.

As readers of every Montreal newspaper are well aware, the presence or absence of an accent over the letter “e” can speak volumes about this city’s perceived identity. Only rarely do countries change their name. Yet in all likelihood, current maps of Europe will soon be out of date. The upheavals that followed the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 brought major changes in political geography, with the bitter disintegration of Yugoslavia leading to the birth of no fewer than seven small nations. Yet since the last of them, Kosovo, declared independence in 2008, the map of Europe has remained unchanged. (The name of one nation remains in official limbo: an ongoing dispute with Greece means that Macedonia continues to be known at the United Nations as “Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.”) Last month, the leaders of the republic whose capital is Prague announced that from now on, their country will bear a one-word name. It will be, in the Czech language, Česko; and in English, Czechia.

The logic is unassailable: we don’t talk about the French Republic or the German Republic, we talk about France and Germany. Why should we refer to a country by an adjective (“Czech”)? The change has yet to become official, but assuming it goes ahead, there’s reason to believe it will eventually come to seem natural. That has happened, after all, with most other renamings. It’s possible that in English, the process may take longer than usual — for in this language, the sound of “Czechia” is uncomfortably close to “check in,” “chicken,” “cheeky” and “Chechnya.” The decision to alter a country’s name does, on occasion, meet wide resistance. It’s now 27 years since the military dictatorship running the southeast Asian nation of Burma declared that henceforth it would go by the name of Myanmar. Only gradually have most Canadian media — The Montreal Gazette included — agreed to accept the change. Many articles and news reports still use phrases like “Myanmar, also known as Burma.”

One difficulty with the new name is that “Burmese” happens to fit the English language a lot more easily than the official adjective for the country (“Myanma”) or newly created variants (such as “Myanmarese”). Speaking of Burmese, I’m confident there are no plans to rename that particular breed of cat, distinguished by its dark and glossy coat. For whatever reason, several of the most familiar types of cat are known by otherwise abandoned names. Nobody, I trust, would dream of renaming Siamese — if they did, the famous song from the Disney film Lady and the Tramp might have to be changed from “We are Siamese if you please” to “We are Thai, tell us why.” Likewise, Abyssinian cats are never described as Ethiopian; Turkish Angoras have not turned into Turkish Ankaras; and the classic breed of long-haired cat continues to be Persian, not Iranian. The leaders of the Czech Republic — Czechia, I mean — realize that their country will have different names in different places.
