We don't have enough data to provide an average price for a Chinchilla Persian. The price often varies according to the lineage, the breeder, the age or even the sex. A bath, followed by a good drying can help with this. The long hairs of the hindquarters can sometimes be soiled by the stool and must therefore be regularly checked.
A haircut may be necessary to facilitate maintenance. The eyes and nose must also be cleaned daily due to their flat face. These secretions can stain their light hair but also cause infections. Also remember to frequently check the cleanliness of the ears. The Silver Persian will undoubtedly leave behind some very clear signs that will indicate where they have been sleeping!
The shape of their jaw as well as the type of hair are the main elements to take into account in the choice of food. Obviously, it must be of high quality and provide the necessary nutrients for good health. Life expectancy varies due to the fragile nature of this breed, but it tends to range between 12 and 18 years.
Their physical characteristics make them a perfect indoor cat. In fact, their morphology does not allow them to breathe properly both when it is very hot or very cold. The abundant undercoat keeps them warm but gets tangled easily. That is when a smoke-colored kitten named Chinnie was born after a stray tomcat mated with a blue Persian. It was also during that time that the first standards for the Chinchilla breed were created by the Chinchilla, Silver and Smoke Cat Society. Chinchilla cats are considered docile, gentle, smart, adaptable, easygoing, and quiet kitties that really like spending time with people and are relaxing to be around.
They are also known for their loving disposition, as they will give their human family loads of affection. A Chinchilla could become attached to their owners and show a strong sense of loyalty and devotion to their favorite people, so they prefer getting plenty of attention in return.
But even though these cats could be really comfortable around the people that they know well, they could be nervous and shy when they are around strangers. Although these cats are not too active, giving your Chinchilla a variety of toys to play with will be important, and spending time playing with your cat will also help keep him happy while allowing him to get some exercise.
When not playing, these kitties will love sitting in your lap and cuddling. And, in addition to getting along with people, these cats could also get along well with other cats and other pets, such as friendly dogs.
Chinchillas have cobby bodies and short, thick legs with big paws. Their tails should be bushy and short, lying just before the shoulders when measured against the back.
Their small ears should be well furnished and set wide on their broad heads, whilst their eyes - which should always be emerald or blue-green - should be large, round and expressive. They have snub, brick-red noses, although not as short-nosed as other Persians.
Their eyelids, lips and noses are outlined in black or dark brown. Chinchillas have pure white undercoats, which are tipped with black on the back, flanks, head, ears and tail to produce a shimmering silver effect. Blue-tipped Chinchillas are also recognised. As well as the extensive brushing requirements, you'll need to make sure your cat's eyes and ears are clean. Keep his nails clipped too, and always ask your vet for advice if you're struggling with his upkeep. The Chinchilla is quite hardy and doesn't suffer from hereditary diseases, although kittens should be tested for Polycystic kidney disease PKD.
Rosemary adds: "Chinchillas need more care when they're weaning as they have delicate digestions. Stick rigidly to the diet instructions you were given by your breeder. As adults, they don't need a special diet but it's good practice not to just chop and change the food they're eating.
When choosing your Chinchilla kitten, make sure you meet mum and the other litter mates at the same time. Handle all of the kittens and check that they've been registered, socialised, vaccinated and tested for PKD. Check his ears, eyes and bottom are clean and check his coat for fleas.
Chinchillas are of the manmade variety and were developed from a silver Persian, Chinnie, who was born in She was the offspring of a blue Persian and an unknown stray tom. Breeders encouraged the colouring through outcrossing and Chinnie's descendants began looking like the Chinchillas we know now in the early s.
The first standards were drawn up around the time that The Chinchilla, Silver and Smoke Cat Society the name has since altered slightly was established in The breed standard itself hasn't changed very much since In general, pedigree breeds use a much smaller gene pool for breeding than domestic cats and therefore have a higher risk of developing inherited disorders.
