Ear wax problems in a Persian? sorry that's a new one on me.

None of mine have ever suffered from any breathing problems either.

Look i'm not saying that like in Scottish folds they all dont get all the probles i read that about the persian on the internet on alot of sites

I think you are quoting the extreme ultra type Persian here. The GCCF have a ruling that the nose should be no higher than the bottom rim of the eye so breathing problems are not an issue in this case.

They can have lots of sinus and breathing problems.Their short muzzle also causes then to have dust and debris cover the inside of their nostrils more often, which makes it very difficult for them to breathe.
They get ear wax build up, hair knots, and feline acne, toxiplasmosis and also teeth and jaw problems, these are all the main ones.

The maine difference though is that in Scottish Fold there's a specific gene can makes it a fold and that specific gene also causes joint abnormalities. There is no "Persian gene" that causes problems, but yes many Persian do develop problems due to unwise breeding. There are however no problems breeding healthy Persians if you want to. Breeding healthy Scottish Folds is a much more hard thing to do since the Fold gene is the disease causing gene.

Quite wrong my dear, nearly all of my Persians are ultra type, they are groomed and have their faces cleaned every day. They do not have any of the problems that you list, with the exception of hair knots...........they are a bugga to keep on top of!

I've heard of them, and wondered cat they be registered with TICA or FB at all?

You can only show them at a Tica show, FIFe don't allow them anymore either. They used to until the gene problem arose. I have a good friend that has bred them for many years. Her cats are gorgeous and do very well in the show rings

Chelsea, I know you're only 16, but please, you don't need to keep jumping down peoples throats when they make comments or ask questions. People are just trying to help ect.

Is the scottish fold quite popular in Japan? I've seen quite a few videos and pictures with what look to be SF cats in them, unless there's another, similar breed over there?
