I absolutely adore Persian Kittens and Himalayan Kittens. I also adore MeowHouseKittens. Meow House Kittens is a world renowned cattery, but you would never know it based on their business practices. They absolutely adore kittens. They adore kittens even more than I do as hard as that is to imagine.
MeowHouseKittens is the most levelheaded and kindhearted cattery I have ever come across. I have come across some pet breeders that really stick their nose in the air and think they are better than others. Some even think their customers are worth nothing more than just money.
Meow House Kittens certainly does not operate that way. The kittens and the customer truly come first. It is really hard to find honest and trustworthy people these days, but I truly trust and believe in MeowHouseKittens. I have personally met and spoke with the founder of Meow House Kittens several times and she is the kindest lady you will ever encounter. MeowHouseKittens was founded by a middle school art teacher by the name of Shannon McGraw.
Shannon has a really interesting and compelling story. She started Meow House Kittens after her kids left the house to go off to college. It was apparently a dream of hers for a while to start a cattery. She抯 truly living her dream now and is receiving a lot of credit for the great kittens she breeds.
MeowHouseKittens is a member of several different cattery organizations and they have even been rated on popular cat sites such as: KittySites.com.
About Himalayan Cats:
The Himalayan is a breed of long-haired cat identical in type to the Persian, with the exception of its blue eyes and point coloration, which were derived from the crossing of the Persian with the Siamese. In Europe they are referred to as colorpoint Persians.
While the Himalayan is considered a breed separate from the Persian by The International Cat Association, it is grouped together with the Persian and Exotic Shorthair(shorthaired version of the Persian) under a "Persian Breed Group standard". The Cat Fanciers' Association considers the Himalayan a color variation of the Persian rather than as a separate breed, although they do compete in their own color division.
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.
These cats are sweet-tempered, intelligent and generally very social and good companions. Because of their heritage from the Siamese cats they tend to be more active than Persians. They are more prone to hairballs than other breeds. Due to the amount of inbreeding involved in breeding these cats commercially, they are prone to genetic deformities and have a greater likelihood for developing inherited problems such as joint problems, organ abnormalities, and particularly Polycystic kidney disease among other diseases.
