I know they make a Persian Kitten, but they seem to like this much better. So this is what they eat. I will send them home with a bag of this and they should eat this until they are 1 year old. If you plan to change their food, do it gradually.
Canned FoodsCanned FOOD.
Have been very unhappy with most canned foods and we have been trying all kinds as of late. We really liked this Nulo as well still use the Great Choice from Petsmart. We will home with a can which is 2 days worth of whatever brand were using. . Jan 2018 - We have moved all of our adults to raw diet. Toys
Litter Any clumping litter will work. I prefer Arm & Hammer Multi cat. seems to have less dust when scooping.(Update, we've started doing a 50/50 of the old clay litter. Worry about the cats cleaning their paws and eating this clumping stuff.. and - its working pretty good..)

The flea comb is great around the eyes and face area. It's fine and helps keep loose hairs out of the eyes.
The rotating teeth are hard to find. I got mine years ago at a cat show. Cat shows are great places to see stunning cats AND to buy new fun products... But this is the best comb, if it hits a tangle, the teeth roll. You don't want them to hate being combed...
I use a soft bristle brush to help with loose hairs. Its a process...

We also use DAWN Liquid Dish soap - blue bottle on the backsides of some of the males to help remove any excess grease/oil from that area... :O
Water & Food Dishes
With the "Persians" smooched face, they are literately sticking their noses into any dish to eat or drink. We have found that using a square shaped dish works 100 times better then round. We use corning wear bake dishes or anything we can find that is square.
Use Glass or Ceramic which can be dish washed once a week to help kill any bacteria and germs.
UPDATE 2019
I have become a HUGE fan of the Slow Feed dog dish
for water..
Do you have a soggy face kitty???
I just couldn't see spending the $80 or more for a water vessel I couldnt clean easily and see if there was water in it. Yes, they are plastic ony right now.. But Its been since January and I have 7 of different shapes and they are all awesome.

Plastic can harbor germs and can cause chin acne.. If you use - dishwasher at least once a week.
