Q= HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR A CAT TO DELIVER HER BABIES?

A= 58-68 DAYS. FROM THE FIRST MATTING. A FEMALE USUALLY DELIVERS IN 63 DAYS
ANY LONGER THAN 65 DAYS WORRIES ME.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q=WHAT IS A COLOR POINT CARRIER PERSIAN?

A=ANY PERSIAN WHO HAS A HIMILAYAN IN ITS BACKGROUND IS CPC.
A PERSIAN DOES NOT GENETICALLY CARRIER THE GENE OF A HIMILAYAN COLOR COAT.
BUT ONCE A PERSIAN IS BREED WITH A HIMILAYAN THE OFFSPRING THEN BECOMES A CPC.
MEANING THEY CAN PRODUCE OFFSPRING THAT HAVE THE COAT COLORS OF THE HIMILAYANS.
IF THEY ARE BREED WITH ANOTHER PERSIAN THAT IS A CPC. ONLY TO PERSIANS
THAT ARE CPC CAN HAVE OFFSPRING WITH THE COAT COLOR OF A HIMILAYAN THEN
IT IS USALLY THIRD GENERATION OFFSPRING THAT DO SO. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q= WAS THE HIMILAYAN NAMED AFTER THE HIMILAYANS?

A= NO IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE HIMILAYAN RABBIT BECAUSE OF THE COAT COLOR.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q=CAN I FEED MY  CAT DRY FOOD ONLY?

A= YES BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAT ALWAYS HAS FRESH WATER.
WET FOOD CONTAINS MOISTURE AND DRY FOOD DOES NOT. IF COST IS A FACTOR AND 
YOU DO NOT LIKE DEALING WITH THE CANNED PRODUCTS, TAKE HOT WATER AND SOAK
THE DRY FOOD JUST FOR A FEW MINUTES. FEED IT TO YOUR CAT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. 
MY CATS LOVE THE BROTH IT MAKES AND THEY THINK IT IS A TREAT. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q= CAN I FEED MY CAT WET FOOD ONLY?

A= I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FEEDING WET FOOD ONLY. WET FOOD CAUSES TARTER BUILD
UP ON THE TEETH AND THE CAT WILL NOT DRINK AS MUCH WATER WHEN ON WET FOOD.
dRY FOOD SCRAPES THE TEETH CLEANING THE TARTER OFF. YOU STILL NEED TO BRUSH
THE CATS TEETH A LEAST ONCE A WEEK NO MATTER WHAT FOOD YOU FEED THEM.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q=MY CAT HAS STATIC CLING HOW DO I GET RID OF IT.

A=Bath the cat in an oatmeal shampoo. You can purchase the shampooat any pet store. Then use johson babypowder on the cat after it is totally dry.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q=MY KITTENS HAVE PUSS IN THE EYE WHY? 

A= This is called conjuctivities it is common in kittens. You
must keep the eyes wiped clean and get eye drops from your vet.
This can be a serious problem if not treated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q=WHY DO OF THE BREEDERS ON THE NET VOID THER CONTRACT OF SALE IF YOU HAVE
YOUR CAT VACCINATED FOR FIP?

A= FIP (FELINE INFETIOUS PERITONITIS) is a coronavirus. It is widely distributed
family of viruses that infect a variety of bird and mammal species.
Most of the diseases caused by the coronaviruses are mild and self limiting.
while others such as fip are uasully fatal.

TO ANSWER THE QUESTION; the vaccine is a modified live virus it only protects
50-70 percent of all cats. The vaccine can be relied on entirely for prevention.

USE OF THE VACCINE WILL CAUSE A POSITIVE RESULT FOR FIP. EVEN IF THE CAT IS 
NEGATIVE. THE TEST FOR THE FIP VIRUS IS CALLED A TITER IT ONLY TEST FOR
THE CORONAVIRUS WHICH ALMOST EVERY CAT IS EXSPOSED TO BUT CAN FIGHT OFF.
THE CORONAVIRUS CAN TURN INTO FIP BUT THAT DOES MEAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE A TEST
AND IT TEST POSITIVE YOUR CAT WILL DIE. IF YOU HAVE A TEST THEY SEND YOU
RANGES FOR EXAMPLE 1-10 1-200 1-400 1-800 1-1200 1-1600 .
ALMOST ANYTHING TESTING 1-1200 and almost alwyas is a bad sign.
ANYTHING ELSE I FEEL IF THE CAT HAS HAD THE VACCINEIS 1-400 is A SAFE RANGE. Your cat may live to 20 because it does not have FIP 
 
THEN YOU CALL THE BREEDER UP YELLING YOUR CAT IS DIEING OF FIP. YOU WANT YOUR 
MONEY BACK PLUS VET BILLS AND YOU TELL EVERYONE THAT BREEDER HAS SOLD YOU A FIP KITTEN OR CAT.
