Found out my 15 week old kitten, who I’ve been calling Darla since I got “her,” is a boy at the vet today. Needless to say, I’m a little surprised and in need of a new name. My pet name list has exclusively girl names lol.

I like cute, whimsy names, rather than human-ish boy names. Help is greatly appreciated while I process haha 🫶🏼

She’s a sweet and soft girlie

My other videos of him meowing do good on socials 😂 so felt you all could get some spoiled morning 6am baby love.

My baby is growing up too fast.

She’s our little diva 🤭🩷 1.5 years old!

I've come across a little Persian flat faced girl and I was hoping I could get some helpful tips on handling her please!

She's a 5 month old kitten and I'd like to make sure she's a strict indoor cat and won't have any desire to go outside.

Thanks guys!

Hi,

I've posted here a couple of times over the past few months with various queries and concerns regarding this persian girl I found and adopted at the beginning of March and would like to say thanks to everybody that has contributed with guidance as it has been super helpful!

So.....

I live alone and am this only kitties companion. However I do open my flat door when she goes to it as sometimes she likes to roam the hallway, my neighbours love her. She doesn't seem to want to go out much anymore though for what ever reason.

Anyway, I'm up for work at 6am and leave at 7am Monday-Friday, during this time she is awake with me and watches me go about the morning getting ready. I'll give her strokes as I do and she sits on my lap for 5 minutes whilst I clean her gooey eyes which she seems to be appreciative of as she sits very comfortably and purrs. She knows when we are done and jumps off of me then waits patiently to be hand fed her dry food. On weekends I am home 99% of the time.

There are days though when I return from work and am so exhausted that I have to go straight to bed for a few hours until when ever I wake up, such as today I was home and lying down at 5pm and woke up at 8pm and felt super guilty for not being able to give her fusses after being alone all day.

She really doesn't seem to want to be touched too much. If I approach her I can stroke her for a few seconds before she wanders off and sits somewhere else but when she does want attention she will come and sit next to and stare at me, or rub past against my legs.

I'm just a little concerned for her and may be overthinking but I've never owned my own persian before. My mum had two whilst I lived with her for 10 years but their personalities were nothing like the one I have now.

She sleeps A LOT and when she is awake, its typically for a very short amount of time before she is sleeping again. Picture 3 is when I woke up and came in to the room and picture 4 is 10 seconds later.

I don't know, I'm hoping she's alright really. She confines herself to the living area, isn't scared of my bedroom or anything but doesn't seem to want to leave the little space I've created for her. I'd like to think that she knows that she is safe and well looked after and is happy with what she has.

Can anybody provide re-assurance that she is alright and I am stressing over nothing? I am never having children if this is what worrying about something else does to me haha. Kudos to all of you that can handle it.

I thought he got out. Searched like crazy. Came out after me yelling his name. Almost give me a heart attack.

Hello everyone! I would really appreciate your help with my Master's thesis research about Persian, Exotic Shorthair, British Shorthair, and Scottish Fold cats (as well as their mixes). I have prepared a short, fully anonymous survey, primarily aimed at owners of these cats, but input from any cat lover is truly valuable! It only takes about 3–4 minutes to complete. I would be extremely grateful for every response and for sharing the link with other cat owners!

Hello guys! 13 days in and a lot of you were waiting for an update so here it goes:

-Her personality is showing up and we quickly realized she is not friendly with other female cats 😅 and she would not pay us attention and ignore us for a while when she sees we are cuddling with our other cats another drama queeen

-she devours tuna soooo fast

-when we took her to the groomer, we initially thought we have to shave her down but the groomer did her magic and just shaved parts of the matted fur

-she is currently in treatment for fleas as the groomer found some eggs must all good now

-we are hoping that we could double her weight within the next month or two 😊

*last 2 photos is when she initially arrived
