Himalayan kittens & cats in Davis, California

The trouble with this beautiful boy is that when you're trying to photograph him instead of posing, he walks right to you saying "Here I am pet me". This is both adorable and frustrating. I have lots of close up pictures of his solid black (!) nose and golden eyes. He's a very friendly, loving boy. I don't think his earlier life was easy for him. We got him from a shelter up near Sacramento and I think he'd been outside a lot though I don't know his backstory. The fur on his back is a little "sun bleached" which means UV sunlight has changed the pigment in the cat's hair creating a lighter color. This phenomenon is also known as "rusting" and this term better describes the sprinkling of a slightly reddish color in the surface guard hairs on his silver back. You may not be able to this in his photo's. This is temporary condition- his coat will go back to solid silver in about a year. I haven't had him long but he has settled in quickly with us. He's happy to be inside I think. He's just a youngster- maybe two years old. Persians as a breed especially need to feel love from humans and to have humans to give love to. That's what Persians live for. I think as he enjoys the safety of his new life and the loving humans around him he will become more exuberant. He already likes to play with a feather. He is interested in what's going on out the window .He loves catnip. He comes up and says please love me -all the time. I don't think his last family had been taking care of him as a good little Persian boy deserves. The shelter gave him the lofty name of Prince Frederic. Maybe he could grow into that but I changed it to Blue Bear. "Blue" means "Silver Grey" in the cat world., The shelter neutered him, vaccinated him, wormed him and microchipped him. He was combo tested neg neg( FIV & FeLV) which is important for an outside cat. Probably because it is their busy kitten season they asked our Rescue to take him in. I love Persians and of course said "Yes absolutely!!" He has no bad habits. He uses his box. He'll eat anything. He is extremely agreeable except he doesn't like to be held for photo's. He wiggles.He's what I call a Grateful Cat because I think he's had a hard life and is a little needy. Do you have time to fill him up with cuddles and whispered affection? His coat, and especially his tail, needs time to grow full and lush. We're giving him DHA because his fur seems a little dry and I think we'll probably give him a bath with conditioners before he goes home. He's a loving boy and some great family will have a wonderful companion. I think he's comfortable around other kitties though we haven't had a lot of experience of that because we haven't had him long. There have been no warning signs. I don't know how he is with dogs. We need to be careful there since he may have had bad experiences with them outside. He is not a good choice for a family with young children because it would be great if he could be the child right now and not be competing for love. I think Blue Bear is still just a little too quiet for a young kitty. I see a bit of sadness in his eyes. In his new home, his new life will begin and he will blossom into the confident, playful, gorgeous kitty he was born to be. Some family will be so lucky.
