I am on the hunt for a Persian cat. Specifically, I am looking for a shaded silver, preferably with green eyes (though I will settle for turquoise/blue). I strongly prefer a male, as male cats are, in my experience, much friendlier, outgoing and affectionate than females. Female cats, like most females of other species, can be downright bitchy. I have enough of my own hormones and bitchiness to deal with. I certainly don’t need more from a cat!
Anyway. I spent a good part of yesterday evening researching catteries. I contacted four that met my criteria, and have nine more that my mother just gave me the contact information for, from a Persian cat magazine she picked up the other day.
Ideally, I would like a pet quality shaded silver Persian cat. With pet quality, the face won’t be as smooshed in, and the body may be a bit leaner. All of that is fine, provided that the cat has the Persian fur, and the Persian personality (sweet, mellow).
Wish me luck!


Hi from a Silver Persian owner, If you live anywhere close to Northern California, we have
some beautiful silvers in Rescue. I worked for Persian & Himalayan Cat Rescue of Northern CA,
our website is persiancats.org. (Call Pat @ 925-838-1838). I found your site because I was looking for someone to do biz cards for us. We have new phone numbers etc. If you’re not near NoCal, go to Pet Harbor and put in your zip code. There are a number of silvers that really need good homes.
