Flat Nosed Cats
Instead of lambasting the flat nosed cats why not come up with some constructive
ideas to help the owners of these cats? We have a Persian with a somewhat flat face and we purchased him as a kitten. We wanted a Persian because they are noted for their docile and loving nature, their ability to adjust to indoor living and of course, their beauty. Yes, we would have been happier if he hadn't developed quite such a flat face but we adore him and have figured out ways to help him eat comfortably. My husband built a platform that is raised off of the floor about 2 inches. This helps Archie to eat without having to stick his whole face into his food and water bowls. Also, we feed him his wet food on a flat saucer. Archie is very intelligent (another trait of Persians) and can sit up on command, walks on a leash, travels well in our motorhome and has generally added greatly to our lives. We searched the various pet rescue centers, humane societies, etc. but just couldn't find a likely candidate for our mobile life style. In our younger days we rescued many cats. All of them had some trait that made them less than enjoyable. This time we purchased a cat and are very satisfied with the results. Gigi |
