Boujee and Sparkle learning to ride in a carrier and travel in a car. Both are things all kittens should learn at an early age so vet and grooming visits won't be traumatic. Cats also make wonderful traveling companions if started early on.

When you're little and cute, the folks at Walmart will ignore you in your backpack!

Boujee had fun picking out food and toys for him and his sisters. Lots of early socialization is super important if you plan on your new cat friend being a good traveling companion.

Have you ever wondered about the different faces of persian cats? (Himilayans are a color pointed persian). Here is a basic descriptive chart that shows the most common facial types. Here at The Fabulous Meow we strive to breed somewhere between #2 and #3 type or a blend of the two. A persian cat will always be a high maintenance cat, but with a less extreme facial type, the daily eye wiping/tear staining can be minimized somewhat or even absent all together.

Meet Marilee. Marilee is three weeks old in this picture and one of Cami's first litter of 4. Marilee was the biggest kitten and remains even larger than Boujee, the male. She is a sweet doll faced darling we can't wait to watch grow! We think she's going to be a very big girl! Marilee will remain here at The Fabulous Meow.

Meet sweet Rosemary. Rosemary was the tiniest kitten in Cami's first litter and got off to a slow start. Our vet recommended bottle feeding supplementation several times a day and Rosemary took right to it and quickly caught up to the rest of the litter. Rosemary is 6 weeks old in this picture and just had her first bath. Rosemary will remain here at The Fabulous Meow. 🐱

This is Miss Lia on the banana shelf. 🍌 Miss Lia is a two year old extreme faced Lynx Point Himilayan. Miss Lia is spayed and is the sweetest girl! She is currently growing out #7 modified lion cut (a bit longer lion cut than the traditional super shorty cut). Miss Lia does require daily eye wiping with warm water but accepts that as part of her daily routine with no trouble at all. Like all cats, Lia is susceptible to urinary issues caused by feeding a moisture deficient dry food diet, so she gets canned wet foods twice daily. When I first got Lia I transitioned her to a commercial raw diet (I used Darwins), and she did perfect on it. After getting my second and then third himilayans, and the rescues deciding they wanted raw too, the commercial became cost-prohibitive. I bought a meat grinder and learned to make my own balanced raw meals but then ran out of freezer space. As a cat groomer, I am able to sell cat hair to companies that use it to make allergy shots and the hair must be bagged and kept in the freezer and sent off in 10 pound or more quantities! A new freezer is on my wish list so we can get back to a raw diet once again. A raw diet is awesome because the kitty poops don't stink! Cats on balanced raw usually don't develop urinary issues associated with a moisture deficient diet either, but there are other issues than can cause urinary problems that might not be prevented by eating raw. Stress is a big causative factor, but feeding a high moisture diet year round, may mean that when stress or other problems happen, the urinary issues are less likely to follow.

This is Sparkle right after her first bath and blow dry! Sparkle is an extreme faced blue point himilayan kitten who is going to her new pet home very soon! Extreme faced kittens are very beautiful and are currently the breed standard for show. When you get one of these sweet flat faced babies, you must commit to the twice daily warm water eye wiping they will require forever. As a long haired breed with a voluptuous double coat, Sparkle will require frequent bathing and blow drying as well as brushing and combing to remove loose hairs, oils, and skin flakes that can pack together and form mats. In lieu of daily grooming, she can be given a lion cut or a longer comb cut once she is about a year old, which will make life easier for busy pet parents. I recommend professional grooming for cats by a professional NCGI trained cat groomer verses at home grooming as it is much more effective and nicer done by a professional. Sparkle is one of Cami's first litter of four little cuties and will be dearly loved in her new home.

Little Boujee. 7 week old male himilayan kitten. Going to his new pet home soon! Boujee is the most playful and outgoing kitten from Cami's litter. He is a super sweet and well socialized doll faced baby who will provide hours of entertainment for his new people. With his less extreme "doll face", his eyes won't get goopy like extreme faced persians. His nose is also longer and set well below his eyes, which means his breathing will not be affected by his cuteness!

The Fabulous Meow is a page for cat lovers! I am a cat groomer and also have a small in-home cattery in Central Virginia raising a few litters of healthy and highly socialized himilayan kittens each year. I am currently working on a small book that focuses on caring for your persian cat including grooming, feeding, traveling, outings, litter and boxes, catios and more. I hope you'll join me here for updates on kittens and grooming pictures!
