  She is a VERY nice lady and was kind and patient enough to answer my 10 million questions. 

I LOVE her white RPA Male "Puff"...doubt I would ever be able to afford one though! lol  But I happy to have gotten Felix from her.  I went to a local petshop that also breeds chins but I was not very impressed with their living conditions..not that they were BAD but not as good as I personally feel they should be.  Their hay was just on the floor of the cage etc...

Anyway, my point is that I am glad I could get Felix from someone who is passionate and has done alot of research and takes excellent care of her chins.  I could've gotten a chin cheaper from somewhere else but I believe you get what you pay for...  And I am DELIGHTED wit Felix! lol

Health / Healthy treats for Chins?

« on: June 16, 2009, 08:31:23 AM »

Hi guys!!

Just wanted to find out what other healthy treats there are that are safe to give chins (in tiny chin-size portions of course!!!),  I know raisins (I cut them into 6! lol) is there anything else around the house that will be okay to give him? I read apple somewhere?  But with or without skin?

Thanks guys!!!

RPA - Royal Persian Angora I think...  I think those are the long hairs...  I've seen some dwarf chins on someones site as well..but they didn't seem to be as nice and blocky as the regular chins...

Hi Jo Ann!

Thank you for the advice!!!

Neither of the cats are mousers.  But I do not allow them access to Felix in any case, can't be too careful.  Both cats go outside but Neither of them leaves the yard.  There are not many cats in the area either...  But thank you for the warning!!! I really appreciate it!

  Scrappy is her true name...lol

She was such a tiny, scrawny scrap of fur when she was a kitten, so Scrappy just seemed to suit her.  She doesn't have a mean or aggressive bone in her body. lol  She's actually a very nervous and sensitive cat. (Not with me though)  I'm not sure why though...She's only ever been loved and adored...

Hmmm...i think its the flash, his belly is lighter than the rest of him but not what I would call white...  I will try to get some pics of him without the flash, he's darker in person as well.  He is lighter on his belly and sides but gets progressively darker as you go up...

Will do my best to get better pics of him! 

Thank you for all the posts guys!! So lovely to meet you all!!!

THanks Jo-ann!   

Took this pic of him yesterday!!  He just gets cuter and cuter by the day and is quite a character.  Even my "manly and tough" boyfriend can't resist his charms!  Can't imagine our lives without him!  He is getting more and more adventurous by the day!

I really love the call he makes...the doo-doo-doo sound...he usually does this when I am sitting playing and talking to him and often when I get up to go sit on the couch after playing with him.

His sisters (the kitties) are still scared of him though! lol

Other Pets / My Kitties - Scrappy

« on: June 14, 2009, 07:57:57 AM »

Scrappy is one of Marmite's 3 daughters.  I literally watched her being born.  She was the smallest kitten of the litter and has followed me around since she was able to walk.  She is a very special girl and very sensitive, she loves me and me only, though she will sleep on my BF's feet at night.  She is a Dilute Tortoiseshell domestic long hair, we have no idea who her dad is.  But there was a beautiful black and white longhaired gent who was hanging around at the time of her conception...we assume he was her father.
