Nope, these cats sure don’t maintain themselves! 😂 And honestly, even if they did, they still require SO much time, love, and attention.
You see, Persians aren’t the type of cats that you can just pour some dry food for and head off to a 10–12 hour workday. (And realistically, I don’t think that should be acceptable for any cat.)
For those who know me personally, you know my work schedule is absolutely INSANE. On any given week, I’m working a bare minimum of 60 hours. Throw three young children into the mix, a household to maintain, and about a million other responsibilities, and I’m sure some people wonder how in the world I keep up with everything.
Well, the short answer is that I’m probably just insane. 😂
But the REAL answer? TEAMWORK.
My husband could honestly care less about me showing or breeding cats. It’s not his hobby, it’s mine. But what he DOES care about is the fact that it makes me happy.
He also knows that I take the responsibility of caring for these animals incredibly seriously. If something isn’t done, I stress about it. I feel guilty. Because at the end of the day.. these are living, breathing creatures that depend on us for absolutely everything.
And that’s where he steps up, every single time.
Whether it’s mopping floors, scooping litter boxes, cleaning, or preparing their raw food at 9 PM (and yes, he’s even done it at MIDNIGHT 😂), we work together to make sure everything gets done.
And it’s not just about keeping things clean or making sure they’re fed.
These cats deserve our TIME. Our attention. Our affection. Our respect.
Persians are incredibly social cats, for the most part. Of course, they all have their own personalities. I have one who is perfectly content lounging around without being bothered(she prefers her space honestly), and then I have others who practically suffocate me in the middle of the night because apparently sitting directly on my chest or FACE still isn’t close enough. 😂
But that’s exactly my point. Every single one of them has different needs, personalities, and ways of showing affection. And part of being a responsible breeder and owner is recognizing that and making the time to give them what they need.
Regardless of how busy life gets, how many hours we work, or what other responsibilities we have, my husband and I are always on the same page about one thing.
These animals didn’t ask to be here. We chose to bring them into our lives, and with that comes the responsibility to give them the absolute best life we possibly can.
Anyways, that’s just my two cents!
And a little shoutout to my amazing husband, who probably never imagined he’d be spending his evenings scooping litter boxes and preparing gourmet meals for a bunch of fluffy, demanding Persians. 😅
Thank you for supporting my crazy hobbies, for stepping up without being asked, and for always being my teammate in every aspect of life, whether it’s work, home, our children, or these cats.
I couldn’t do half of what I do without you.
