Re: what breed would you recomend for lap cat?

My baby girl is a bog standard orange moggie, she came from a local rescue and she chose me.

I picked up all her siblings, coz as we know small balls of fluff are all cute. Caramel was the only one who snuggled under my chin.

She will sit with me where ever I am and will also lay like a baby in my arms.

As for pedigree kitties, the most cuddly one I have ever met was a Ragdoll.

Re: what breed would you recomend for lap cat?

Hi there

As I mentioned before, I breed Persians, and all of the kittens from the last litter turned out to be doll-faced. Mine have the sweetest temperaments. It's a chore to actually get them to leave you alone. Pet prices for Persians are typically around the £400 mark. If you'd like more information, then please PM me, or visit Home - Moonspun cats and contact me through the website. I'm sorry, but it's having an over-haul at the moment, so some of the pictures are a bit rubbish as they're place-holders rather than the final pictures.

I always encourage new owners to come and meet my cats, and if they're on the waiting list and prepared to visit multiple times to meet mum even before kittens are born, then I'm happy for this to happen too as it allows them to get to know her when she's got other things to do than run after kittens. It's important for new owners to understand how the cats were raised, as this will help shape their personalities for the rest of their lives.

Thanks Spid, yes they are rather gorgeous, with a combination of the cuddly birman temperament and the slightly batty persian one (which I love BTW). They are in much demand as pets, but I don't do it to produce cats for the pet market, rather its to improve the size and vigour of the birman breed. I only have one outcross line, most of mine are 'full' birmans whom I show with some success.

Birman prices vary from £350 to £400 for pet kittens in the UK

Re: what breed would you recomend for lap cat?

Emma, is batty a polite way of saying they're thick as two short planks? If so, I agree! Persians have to be the most common sense lacking cats I've ever come across! Somehow though, it just makes them more lovable.

Re: what breed would you recomend for lap cat?

I've only had one persian, but despite the profile of them being somewhat 'sedate' cats she literally ran rings round the birmans. I think her 'cobby' body enabled her to have a much tighter turning circle LOL!

I really had to keep my eye on things when playing with a teaser toy with her due to her speed, she also did 'the wall of death' round the living room like a manic fluffy football.

The birmans certainly didn't approve of her laying on her back with her legs in all directions, they prefer more 'posh' poses, they are temple cats afterall!

Re: what breed would you recomend for lap cat?

my current two persians are pretty thick I have to say. Its all cotton wool [or fluff] between those ears. I have had more inteligent ones in the past though and yes the 'wall of death' is well known to me. A herd of stampeding persians is a sight to behold! The noise was something as well as they pounded the floor boards! {I used to have 14 }. I think the current two are a bit passed it now though as they are soon to be 14.

Re: what breed would you recomend for lap cat?

Oh, the wall of death... Yep, we're familiar with that in my household. Except that Tia mis-judges and leaps where she shouldn't, and Millie mis-judges and actually falls head first off things like the sofa. Tia never really played or ran much until she had the kittens, but Millie seems to bring it out in her. No more sedate posers in my house! Except when you want them to move out of your chair so that you can sit down, of course.

But yep, fluff is all they've got between their ears. Just makes them all the cuter though as they give you plenty to laugh at!

Re: what breed would you recomend for lap cat?

I have 4 moggies. All are very much lap cats. It can be a pain in the bum sometimes, when all 4 are competing for a place on my lap. I once own a gorgeous Burmese Blue. He was also very much a lap cat. My late ginger moggy on the other hand only rarely sat on my lap.
