Persian Birman cross-any opinions/experiences

[Sparkles29]

We have the opportunity to re-home the above breed, he is already 12 years old. We have 3 young adult kids at home & no other pets, having previously had a fantastic Staffordshire for 10 years who sadly got put to sleep last month.
Any experience of this breed very welcome as we need to make a decision fast!

Oh I I would love a ragdoll, I bet they don’t appear in rescues too often. I’m on the look out.

Do these type of cats prefer the igloo beds or a cushion type?
Would they get used to enclosed litter trays with a flap?
What about toys? Would a 12 year old cat play?
As you can tell i'm pretty clueless
(we've had a dog for the last 10 years which we had to say goodbye to in January )

One of mine loves all her beds, especially her tepee. The other one prefers the sofa or my bed.

@ThreeTwoOneBlastOff try specialist rescues.

Great news-all good, Humphrey arriving next week once he's finished his medication after having some teeth extracted-very excited to meet him

Eek! So pleased for you. Welcome to the Litter tray Humphrey.

Humphrey is arriving tomorrow morning very excited!!

Oo keep us updated.

He's beautiful!

He's he is

He is gorgeous!!

Happy forever home day Humphrey

Lord of all he surveys already!

And by the expression on his face in the third picture, he knows he is the boss!

Oh my gosh. Humphrey is beautiful!

What a regal cat. Did he just saunter in?

OMG! That face. You are being judged. Better show just how worthy a slave you can be! He’s sooooo handsome.

Gorgeous.
He looks like he's settled in very quickly

@PickleStick Persians are gorgeous and I don't nor ever have had one so I'm not biased.

I used to have a birman. He went out and was a massive hunter! Dragged a dead rabbit into the room when we were in the middle of the teacher visit for DC1 starting reception. So embarrassing!
He likes to fop in the middle of the floor like a dog.

He is so beautiful! We can only have siamese/oriental rather than a long hair!

@KatyMac I wasn’t allergic to our semi long haired. But am to shorter haired pair we now have.

I know but 4 siamese/oriental have been ok and 5 moggy not so on the balance of probability.....

Looking at a Balinese but I think they are fluffy too

Sorry @Sparkles29 for going off topic - he looks so special xx

He does look soooo special.
@KatyMac don’t rely on fluff! When you can visit a breeder and surround with cats of the breed!!

He is beautiful. I have had both Birmans and Persians and they are very much indoor cats so think you will need a litter tray.

How's it going @Sparkles29
