Taking great pictures of your Persian cat begins and ends with a clean, well groomed cat. There are several “how to” books available on the internet, like the one found at www.persiancatstoday.com that gives tips on how to properly groom and care for your Persian Cat. Before we pull out our camera, let’s start with how to properly bathe and groom your cat, so it looks its best for its photo shoot.

Cat Bath

Completely brush and comb Persian cats BEFORE getting them wet. It is generally easier to bathe a cat in a double kitchen sink. This allows you to prepare one side of the sink with water, shampoo solution, and use the other side as rinse water. Prepare your bath space before getting your cat. It is important to mix the shampoo with the water before putting your cat in the sink; putting straight shampoo, on Persian Cats is practically impossible to rinse out of their fur. Fill the second side of the sink with lukewarm water. Prepare you drying area as well, before starting to actually bathe your cat. Towels and hair dryer should be ready to receive your wet cat. Get your cat and place it in the shampoo water. Using a cup, pour the solution over your cat, making sure to wet all the fur. Gently use your hand to rub the solution into the fur, as you pour. After the shampoo solution has saturated the fur, use your hands to slick some of the water off the cat, before moving it to the rinse side of the sink. Drain the shampoo solution and refill that side with fresh rinse water. Using a cup, pour the rinse water over the cat. Switch cat back to the first sink and continue rinsing. It normally takes 4 rinse waters to get all the shampoo out. Use several cups of water directly from the tap to complete the rinse. Wrap your cat in a towel and pat dry. Don’t rub the towel in circles or back and forth, this can create mats and knots in the hair. Use a good quality pet dryer or a hand held dryer on cool air dry, on the lowest speed. Move the dryer frequently, so as not to dry out or burn the cat’s skin. It generally isn’t necessary to comb or brush your cat during the drying process.

Cat Brushing

Start with a 7 ½-inch wide tooth comb. Comb down to the skin, over the body and ruff. Take extra care with the tail, don’t ever tug or pull with the comb. The smaller tooth side can be used to gently work out knots and mats. Avery small fine tooth comb should be used on the face and bottom of the feet. A soft slicker brush should be used to remove the dead coat and not strip the live coat. Detailed instructions on grooming can be found in eBook form at www.persiancatstoday.com.

Picture Taking

Taking a great picture of your Persian cat hinges on how well you prepare your cat before snapping the photo. Place your cat in an environment that compliments its coloring. Patience and timing are paramount to success, when taking that perfect picture.

Cat Health – How to Keep Your Cat Healthy and Wealthy!
By Michael Podgoetsky

It is a natural fact that our pets no matter a dog, cat, parrot or tortoise can become so close to us that we feel them like our family members. It has also been noticed that people often take their pets as their children. This might sounds a bit weird but it is true and even if you are having a pet I bet you will be taking care of it like your own kids. In this article, I am going to share some proper and useful information on cat health issues. Following are some basic points that play a vital role to keep your beloved kitty healthy and active.

Proper Diet:

The health of your cat is affected by the edibles she consumes so you have to take good care of what she eats and drinks. Try to provide good quality food to your cat that keeps her active smart and away from different diseases. Do not allow her to eat food from outside garbage because this practice can make her ill.

Grooming:

If your cat has long hairs then you should take good care of her by proper grooming and brushing of hairs. Use proper shampoos for her hairs that are effective for her and her skin too.

Using Litter Box:

It is quite important to teach your cat the appropriate way of using litter box or commode because incase of your absence she can easily do her stuff. If you are unable to teach this lesson to your cat then you can face several issues like peeing and pooping of cat in your room or behind the sofa. So, make sure that you give proper training to her instead of ignoring this issue.

Declawing of your Kitty :

As you know that the claws of a cat are quite sharp that they can easily hurt your skin or other body parts like face or eyes. So, experts and vets always suggest declawing your kitty via using a proper nail cutter. Do not pull the nails completely because this sounds inhumane, always try to cut the nails properly so that your cat can not harm you or others intentionally or unintentionally.

Cat health is a major issue and you can keep your kitty away from many diseases if you take proper steps for her health. Hit the links given below to know more about cats.
