Meow House Kittens Healthy Kittens Only

I just found one of the most recognized cattery抯 in the biz: MeowHouseKittens. Upon finding out about the company, I also had the pleasure to meet and speak with the owner and founder.

MeowHouseKittens was found by top cat breeder Shannon McGraw. In addition to running the biz at MeowHouseKittens, Shannon McGraw is also a middle school art teacher. Meow House Kittens is not a ploy to get rich off of kittens, it is truly a passion for Shannon and it is about the love of the kittens.

Meow House Kittens is a truly spectacular place to raise kittens. Kittens and their parental breeder cats are treated with love, dignity, and kindness. This is very rare in the cattery business, but it is an absolute requirement for MeowHouseKittens.

Shannon McGraw treats her kittens like her babies. Mothers and kittens are given their space, privacy, and plenty of space to stretch their cute little paws.

At Meow House Kittens, you will not find a box brown box with kittens stuffed inside like a toy box. You will find several different nurseries and common areas for the kittens and breeders. As a human, you might even be a little jealous of the treatment this precious cats and kittens receive.

The mother breeders at Meow House Kittens like anywhere else are very loving, kind, and protective of their little baby kittens. After the mother breeder begins to watch the kittens develop, she releases her strong bond and allows you to replace her love to her kittens. It is the cutest thing ever.

Like many long-haired cats, Himalayans need to be brushed daily to keep their coats looking their best and healthiest. In addition, they may need their face wiped daily, depending on the cat. Bathing a Himalayan is also recommended by some breeders, to help reduce the amount of oil on the cat's fur and skin.

Himalayans display a marked split in their facial features, as some (the "Peeked" or "Ultra-Face" variety) are incredibly Persian-like with a squashed "frowning" mouth, no break in the nose, and squinting eyes (see the Cream point cat at lower right) and yet some (the more traditional "Doll-Face" variety) have very large, round eyes, and display an almost Burmese or Tonkinese pointedness about their muzzle, with a definite break in the nose (see the Seal Point at upper right). This is due to the prominence of either Siamese or Persian genes which the cat was bred from, and both styles are considered equally "Himalayan", though the "Peeked" version is considered a recent development (1970s to 1980s).

The body of a Himalayan is white or cream, but the points come in many different colors: blue, brown, lilac, chocolate, flame, red and cream. The points can also be tabby or tortoiseshell-patterned. Both the chocolate and lilac point Himalayan are the most difficult to produce. These color traits are autosomal recessive, meaning both parents must possess the gene in order for any offspring to express the trait. The Himalayan cat has short legs which makes it harder for them to jump as high as other cats do. Also they have very round bodies and weigh around 13 pounds on average.
