Pssst... Kellywess! Re: Doll Faced Persians

Hiya! I saw the picture of your precious DFP in Abby's post about her Ragdoll and wanted to share a couple pics of MY Silver Tabby Bicolor Doll Faced Persian! Here's Jasper, he's about a year and a half old:





Jasper (aka: Mr. Jazz Man) is the sweetest baby boy. We were lucky enough to adopt him when he was six months old from a guy who had adopted him a month previously and realized that he just didn't have what it took to be a cat Daddy. Turns out, at only 6 months old, poor Jazz had been bounced around SIX times already!! Poor baby! I am glad to report that he is forever home now. This little sweetheart is going no place!

Just wanted to share.

OMG that is just the sweetest face. Glad to hear Jasper has a forever home with you guys. He's gorgeous.

I love cats too. He is simply gorgeous!

OMG Jasper is gorgeous! He reminds me of my straight eared fold, Vinnie. Vinnie has the same coloring but more white. He's been my love bug for over 10 yrs. Some breeders would kill to get that coloring. One tried to take Vinnie from a show when he was a baby.

You are so right, Becca. I did a huge search to see if I could track down his breeder (just for curiosity sake) and only found ONE who had kittens that came close to his looks. When I emailed her to ask her if she recognized his breeding, she told me that his color/pattern is VERY rare in the breed and that if he had a pedigree and wasn't neutered she would have offered me almost anything to buy him away from me. I woudn't have sold, but... She was selling her kittens for THOUSANDS (1-5K). She said that if he had been one of her kittens, she would have asked no less than 3K for him. I adopted him with all his gear (a carload of kitty stuff) for $80.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I think he's pretty special. Here's his buddy, Snickerdoodles (Snickers), a year plus old Egyptian Mau boy:



He was retired from the show ring at 6 months because he kept growling at the judges. He's not aggressive in the least, just talkative. The breeder was an amazingly kind woman who gave him to us as a gift for a kindness we had paid to another person (who was a total stranger to her). Can you believe it? How cool is that? Snickers is a real pistol. He's a perfect insane ying to Jasper's laid back yang.

Jasper has the sweetest face!

I love Egyptian Maus, heard some amazing stories about them.

[Emmilyy]

oh wow, both of your cats are GORGEOUS.

*pouts in jealousy*

Thanks, everyone!! Here are a couple pictures of Snickers that show his spotty coat:

He is really pretty. Who could resist such a cute face... loving the second picture. They are very sweet affectionate "little" kitties. How much does Jasper weigh? Mattie has been fixed and is ten years old and has pretty much been 7lbs. her whole life. Very dainty my little girl. They tend to run a little small for persians. I am excited for you.. Congrats.
