THERE IS NO
SUCH THING AS
A TEACUP
PERSIAN!!
I am
frequently
getting
requests for
Teacup
Persians.
Since I was
unfamiliar
with this
"breed",
I gained some
knowledge, and
I have to say
I am
horrified
that such a
thing actually
exists.
I have not
seen or heard
of any
Australian
Cattery,
breeding
"Teacups", and
I sincerely
hope nobody
will start to
do so. Please
take note that
we STRICTLY
breed
according to
the standards
of our Cat
Council, and
these
Standards say:
BODY: Cobby,
thick set and
low on the
legs, deep in
chest, equally
massive across
the shoulders
and rump, with
a well rounded
rib cage.
Medium to
large in
size. Back to
be level
without dip
or hump. Body
condition
solid to firm.
And further :
Note: It
is
particularly
desirable to
eliminate
rangy,
flat-sided,
narrow-chested,
spindle-legged,
long-tailed
cats, with
long noses,
large ears
pointed and
upright; eyes
set on the
bias or close
together,
receding
chins, light
bones and a
general foxy
face. A
slight
shortening of
coat across
the shoulder
arc is not
uncommon in
older kittens
when the coat
is
changing. Coat
length and
colour, change
enormously
between summer
and winter due
to moulting.
The type
standard is
the same for
all
Persians and
Exotics.
If,
however, a
kitten turns
out to be
smaller than
its
litter-mates,
it is called a
"runt", and
will be
undesirable
for any
ethical
breeder to
be sold for
breeding
purposes, or
kept for
breeding. We
would sell
them desexed,
as a pet, to a
loving home
only!
How
anyone can
breed to the
exact opposite
of the breed
standards is
beyond me, but
then
again...money
hunger knows
no boundaries.
Please be
assured, you
will never
find a
"Teacup"
Persian in our
cattery! We
are very proud
to be able to
continue and
uphold
the standards,
and we strife
for the
betterment of
the
beautiful
Persian cat
breed at all
times. Large
and beautiful!
Thank you for
your
understanding.
