Thank you all for your kind comments and I’m adding a few more photos from Garnet Hill that seem to have the same fabrication. I have not tried them yet, but I’m wondering if some of you have.
LJP, sadly, Birch had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a heart condition and his was much more severe than Goblin, who also has a milder case. My sweet Birch had to be euthanized and crossed rainbow bridge on October 10, 2025. My other Shaded Silver Persians lived to be 18 and never had a condition like this. So it was pretty upsetting since they were diagnosed at the age of one with a CardioPet blood test and had and have been on Atenolol since that time. I’ve had both rescue cats and this breed of Shaded Silver Persians. They came from two catteries who only have two litters a year and they are trying to get back to the original Persian face with a nice normal nose, and nothing flat so there are no breathing or health issues. I thought a lot about their names, Bertie (a favorite secondary character in Downton Abbey), Bundle (a new discovery and the name of the young sleuth in an Agatha Christie Netflix series, “The Seven Dials Mystery” I watched on Netflix, and Beau, the cousin of these two siblings, who is extraordinarily beautiful. I really wanted only two kittens and my sister was feeling like she wanted one to boost her spirits. However, she hadn’t had a cat in over 11 years and she misjudged the energy of these little ones. I figured there is always room for one more, but they definitely are a handful right now. I have to have cat energy in my home. I just didn’t realize I would have this much energy, but soon it will be Katz and I will be missing their kitten spirit. The breeders also do not want anyone to rehome their kittens and they will always take their own kitten back. I found that compassionate and commendable. I’m giving Goblin more attention and as much as I can. The kittens are doing fine, but he does feel somewhat displaced and I’m hoping to calm him down a bit.
