Odd eyed persian cat for sale

Persians have enjoyed a long reign as a favorite breed and have featured prominently since 1871. Persians have been around for much longer than 125 years. Longhaired cats, including the ancestors of the modern Persian and Angora breeds, were first seen in Europe in the mid-to-late 1500s, introduced by Roman and Phoenician caravans from Persia (now Iran) and Turkey, according to documents of the era. Researchers believe the recessive gene for long hair appeared spontaneously via mutation in the cat population in the cold mountainous areas of Persia.

An Italian traveler by the name of Pietro della Valle (1586–1652) is credited with bringing Persian cats to the European world in the 1600s. Both Angora and Persian cats are mentioned in the manuscript Voyages de Pietro della Valle. He described the Persians as gray with very long, silky, glossy fur. He noted that the cats resided in the province of Khorazan in Persia, and that they came from India with the Portuguese.

Other travelers brought Persian and Angora cats into France and then into England, causing them to be called “French cats” for a number of years. These cats quickly became popular in Britain. During this time and for centuries after, the Turkish Angora and Persian varieties (among others) were commonly mixed. At first, Angoras were preferred for their silky white coats. Eventually, however, the British came to favor the stockier version. By 1871, distinct differences between the Persian and the Angora could be seen, the former being stockier with small, rounded ears, and the latter being slender and tall eared.

By the early 1900s, the Persian had become overwhelmingly popular. Blue Persians were particularly prized, probably because Queen Victoria was the proud pet parent of two. In the early 1900s, it was decided that the Persian, as well as the Angora and Russian Longhairs, would be known simply as Longhairs, a policy that continues today. Each color is considered a separate breed in Britain.

Persians were brought to America in the late 1800s, where they were enthusiastically received. The Persian quickly shoved aside the competition and quickly took the place as the top cat. The American Persian developed a unique style and evolved into the type we see today. They are by far the most popular pedigreed breed in the North America. In North America, the Persian is considered one breed, regardless of color. Colors and patterns are divisions within the breed.

Odd eye and Blue eye Bicolor Persian History - the World's first!

Odd eye and blue eye Persians - Purrinlot's starting point, our story, my joy, the Blessing!

A Little history. I hope you can follow my story. :-)

Many years ago, I had a vision to breed blue-eyed bicolor Persians. I was told that they didn't exist and that, even if they did, they couldn't be registered. So I went on a quest to find a way not only to make them, but also to show and register them. The Lord shared with me that He was quilting my dream. He had a plan, a hope and, a future for me, and over the years He has begun to sew the pieces of the quilt into place with the threads of the genes at Purrinlot.

In May 1999, CFA approved the blue-eyed and odd-eyed bicolor for championship status. As a member of the bicolor division of the Persian Breed Council, I helped vote this in and have looked forward to the day I could show one that I had bred. The odd-eye gene of bicolors was, like the backing of the quilt, the first big piece of the quilt.

Originally, I hand't planned for Jacob to stay at Purrinlot because I really didn't need another male. He was very small and weak at birth and almost died. I tube-fed him for three weeks before he learned to nurse on his own. While tubing him one evening, I noticed that one of his eyes glowed. I immediately asked all my friends to pray even harder that this boy would survive, since he was the first odd-eye bi-color born at Purrinlot. The name Jacob means "may God protect [him],"and God has.

Because of his eyes and the bond we developed, I knew I couldn't just let him go. In the Bible, Jacob's father's name was Isaac. My Jacob says, "My Eyes-Is (Isaac) me." He would receive the birthright from his father (bought from his brother) and carry it on. Now, the father of Isaac was Abraham, the father of faith, so Jacob is a few generations into the working on the promise to come. And I have the faith!
(a little typology and play of words here<g>)

Jacob's sister, the second-born of the same litter, surprised me even more! Shortly after noticing Jacob's eyes, I thought I saw one of her eyes glowing. Every evening I'd check her eyes, and when I did, I became more and more convinced that she, too, was an odd-eye bicolor.

Promise is an odd-eye, brown patch / tabby and white. Her name represents the amazing promises that God gives to us. When I look into this kitten's eyes, I am mesmerized by how good God is. He shared with me that I would have a blue-eye program someday, and these two odd-eyed kittens are just the beginning of the gene pool from which God is fashioning my quilt.
