More about Silvers & Chinchilla Persians

Silver Chinchilla Persians  Silver Chinchilla Persians are in high demand, possessing luxurious, beautiful coats that 
appear to sparkle. Due to a dominant gene inhibiting the production of color at the base of 
the hair shaft, results in the Silver Chinchilla Persian’s coat’s having a faint silver color at the tip. Often a bit dark at birth, yet still lighter then silver Persians, will lighten with age. 
At full maturity, a Silver Chinchilla Persian Cat will appear to be white. Chinchilla Silver Persian 
Cats have emerald green eyes with a dark eyeliner, nose and lip liner. These characteristics 
are part of the CFA standards for silver and chinchilla Persians, however, does not lower the value of a kitten if this is not apparent.  In fact, it is a matter of preference if you are not 
showing Persians.  Most Persian kittens sell as pets, so you will find you can choose the look you like.  Shaded Silver Persian Kittens Shaded Silver Persians have the same light base as the Silver Chinchilla Persians.  
The difference is the Shaded Silver will have more of the shaft containing color.  
The silver may vary in the silver color from a bit darker to a soft shaded look. Green eyes are also a trait with the Silver Shaded Persian with eyeliner, nose, and lip liner. Defining Persian Coat Patterns

The Silver, Silver Shaded and Chinchillas are not colors, they are patterns. The chinchilla pattern can come in other colors defined as golden or golden/blue. Some looking somewhat cream or blue looking Chinchillas.  Some being more rare then others.

  Chinchilla Silver Teacup Persian Kittens As far as defining the Chinchilla Silver Persian, each Cattery’s unique style of coat texture, length, 
and extent of silver sparkling coat pattern or lack of, is often due to the cat lines or ancestry.  
There are some catteries that only breed the best and not in large quantities (buildings filled with 
breeding stock), therefore, not breeding for a profit so much, carefully breeding only the best, resulting in more controlled offspring characteristics. I highly recommend a smaller cattery. However, if you are less particular with the kitten color or pattern per say and find a kitten to choose from a large producing cattery it is important to understand the health risks that may occur. If we cannot help you we will be more then happy to refer you to another reputable breeder.

The Persian CAt

The Persian cat is the most popular cat breed today in the U.S, possessing an exotic and majestic appearance! Its unique characteristics makes it one of the most highly sought after and desirable cat breeds of today. Persians are well known for their sweet, gentle and laid back personalities, gorgeous coats and their expressive eyes. Having a luxurious, long, silky doubled layered coat, gives the Persian a regal appearance and know for a character that can tolerate most everything due to its quiet nature.

If irritated, it will merely walk off as if not bothered. They are known to live long lives and get very attached and loyal to their owners. More about the Persian cats personality.

Origin of the Persian

The Persian is one of the oldest breeds of cats, with records of its presence dating back to the times of Pharaohs in Egypt. It is said that the ancestry of the Persian Cat originated in the middle east in the country Persia, now called Iran. Therefore, it is the belief that the Persian originated in Persia and brought over to Europe centuries ago, by the Phoenicians and Romans in the 1500's and considered highly valued items of trade. The first documented ancestors of the Persian cats were imported from Persia into Italy in 1620 by Pietro della Valle, and from Turkey into France by Nicholas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc at around the same time. From France they soon reached Britain. The Europeans were impressed with the Persians long, silky coat, which they continued perpetuating this highly sought after trait. It was believed the longhaired Angora cats from Turkey were introduced to the breed and with references to such cats dating back to 1684 B.C.

Yet, today it is considered that the actual lineage of the Persian cat will probably never be known, experts do agree that the long haired cats, including the Persian was a result of a genetic mutation. Most likely the longhair variety of cats were probably the result of mating between the European Wild Cat and Palla's Cat also, know as the seppe Cat and resulting in a mutation in the coat length and was considered the ancestors of today's Persians or Angoras (these names were essentially interchangeable).

With tails and claims of the Persian cat decending from the Sand cat, or the Angoras crossed bred with Chinese longhairs or Russian longhairs, to the myth of longhairs came to China as a gift from the king of Persian, all to date, still cannot be substantiated.

It was not until the later half of the nineteenth century that their fame truly began to spread. In the United Kingdom they were called Persian Longhairs or simply Longhairs cats. With selective breeding, the Persian cat of today was created.

What we do know is the Persian cat is now considered the most popular cat breed in the US. The valued traits consist of the Persians coat thick, shinny, a sweet and less active than most cats, particularly suitable for apartments or small homes. Basically not requiring much room. The Persian enjoys snoozing the majority of the day, its laid back, sweet nature makes this cat a good choice for families with children. Persian cats are very loyal to their masters and love to stay close to them - less likely to stray like other cat breeds.

RELIABLE BREEDERS

TinyPersians.com a FELV/FIV and PKD Negative Cattery.

There is much talk about the type of face a persian might have, such as, from the doll face,

to the "extreme, ultra, flat faced" (snubby) face as seen in todays show arenas. A responsible breeders should always (as in any animal breed) breed for the best interest of the animal. Recently, with Persians

conscientious breeders focus on minimizing potential health issues by careful selective breeding, avoiding genetic diseases, such as FELV/FIV and PKD, in addition to, selective breeding aiming for a more moderate head type (less smushed face), concentrating foremost breeding healthy Persian cats.

Additionally, responsible Persian breeding is testing animal breeding stock for genetic defects, and not breeding any infected bloodstock, making sure they have a clean bill of health. Additionally, vaccinating, worming and providing healthy offspring. Most often it is safe to acquire a Persian from a small responsible breeder and one should avoid pet stores or large catteries that may not have controlled health environments for producing and maintaining healthy cats. In addition, larger catteries it is hard to control health breakouts and some catteries have genetically defective breeding stock. There are exceptions to rules, however, a word to the wise. Years ago, a friend of mine purchased a very expensive persian with an under bite, that was the beginning to the end for years for this breeder. We welcome your inquiries and wish happy results when finding your new teacup persian kitten.

At TinyPersians.com we are a PKD Negative Cattery, therefore, our kittens

bloodlines have been tested and considered negative for PKD to insure healthy offspring.
