Orientals have their foundation in the Siamese breed but represent a diverse group of cats. After the Oriental Shorthair was accepted for championship status in 1977, it has become one of CFA’s most popular breeds. While the breed's genetic roots are ultimately in Thailand, it was developed mainly in the US. All color patterns and combinations are accepted. The Oriental is talkative and opinionated. They have a load meow and expect you to pay attention to them. Orientals are extremely close to their people. They will follow you around and supervise your every move. Orientals love company. Be sure you have time to spend with this demanding and social cat. Orientals become highly attached to their people. The Oriental will greet you at the door and honestly believe everyone visiting is there to entertain and see them. Orientals do not like being left alone for long periods, and if you work during the day it can be smart to get two of them so they can keep each other company. If you need to leave for a short trip or holiday it is better to have them boarded. The Oriental is very intelligent and athletic, and loves to play. You should keep him toys and his body exercised with teaser toys that he can chase and a big cat tree he can climb. He is fully capable of opening doors and drawers or rifling through your purse in search of something interesting to play with. The short coat of the Oriental Shorthair is easily cared for. Comb it every couple of weeks with a stainless steel comb or soft bristle brush to remove dead hair, then polish it with a soft cloth to make it shine. Keep the Oriental’s litter box spotlessly clean. Cats are very particular about bathroom hygiene. It’s a good idea to keep an Oriental as an indoor-only cat to protect him from diseases spread by other cats, attacks by dogs or coyotes, and the other dangers that face cats who go outdoors, such as being hit by a car. Orientals who go outdoors also run the risk of being stolen. They are quite different and draw attention to them easily.
Since Orientals do not like solitude in-home cat boarding is the best solution for them when you're away. Our caregivers will keep her company and spend quality with your cat. We love cats, your cat will be the only pet in the apartment. Book now your next cat boarding service, we'll be glad to help you. Kitty in NY has excellent options for you in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! I love kitty snuggles and honestly just observing them as I think cats are hilarious and have the best personalities. I grew up with 3 cats who all passed by the time I finished high school and then my mom got 3 more cats, so I have always been around lots of cats since birth and multiple cats at once. I have been doing cat care on the side since I started college in 2014. It was a great way for me to still spend time with kitties without having the full-time responsibility of my own in college and I have continued to do it post grad because I love it so much. My roommate currently has 2 cats and although they are hers, I call them "our" cats and love them as my own! I have a lot of experience administering medications to cats including to cats that have had eye infections, are diabetic, have asthma, as well as subcutaneous fluids for cats that are severely dehydrated. Looking forward to meeting you! If you live in the BedStuy/Bushwich area of Brooklyn and need a cat sitter to take care of your cat/s for a few days, Samantha could be available.

She sent great photos every couple of days and was very communicative about letting me know to send more food when she needed it. She was also very accommodating during the pick-up as we were several hours later tan expected. She was a great caretaker for our cats and it gave us tremendous peace of mind wild traveling out of the country. Hannah - by survey 04/03/2023 * * * * * My cat is often shy around strangers, but she came out and greeted Gaia when she visited. Anyone who puts my cat at ease is good in my book!

Hi, my name is Xu -pronounced shoe-and I think cats are just better to dogs. I grew up in New Jersey and was constantly surrounded by cats and have grown extremely attached to them (I miss Duke, he was a very good boy). I have experience with all types of cats from my volunteer work at a cat shelter. I know how to properly approach and take care of them. This ranges from kitties to elderly cats, and from extremely playful ones to shy ones. My current goal is to continue working with cats and make their lives more comfortable. If you live in Maspeth, Queens, and need help taking care of your cat/s while you're away Xu might be available. You will receive updates about your cat/s during the service. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s, we'll be glad to help you.
The term "Tabby" applies to a color pattern, not a breed of cats. The tabby pattern can be found in almost any type of domestic cat. You can find the tabby pattern in different shapes and colors: dots, stripes, swirls or in brown, gray or orange tones, as well as a combination of these shapes/colors. Tabby cats come in four distinct coat patterns: Classic, Mackerel, Spotted, and Ticked. You can also find the tabby patterns as part of a completely different coat color. "Tabby point" Siamese cats have tabby coloring on their extremities. You can see the tabby pattern on some black cats when they rest under the sun. The "M" on their foreheads is the most distinctive feature seen in common on all tabby cats. Wild "cats" like tigers and cheetahs share this "M". The behavior traits among different tabby cat breeds can be as different and varied as those seen in human beings of different locations. Most tabby fans agree on the following:
Most people who had the chance to share sometime with a tabby know that there is more than just the color of the cat that's special. We would love to take care of your tabby while you're out of the city. Let us know your dates. At Kitty in NY we have caregivers with loads of cat toys. Your tabby will receive all the attention and playtime he deserves.

REVIEWS Jill - by survey 05/07/2023 * * * * * Sandra was responsive, thoughtful, and fun to board my cat with! She asked great questions when anything was unclear, was a prompt communicator, and took the BEST pictures of my little cat. I felt so comfortable having my cat with her and it truly let me have my mind at ease. I could not recommend Sandra or the service in general more highly! Jessica - by survey 04/03/2023 * * * * * Sandra was amazing, and Sammo was so well cared for — Sandra sent frequent updates and photos, and he was essentially in kitten-utopia. A lovely, lovely caregiver and would highly recommend. A few seconds of pondering silence in the Scrabble game was interrupted by a rustle of plastic at the cat door: Portland Bill was coming in again. Nobody paid any attention. Michael and Gladys Herbert were ahead, Gladys doing a bit better than her husband. The Herberts played Scrabble often and were quite sharp at it. Colonel Edward Phelps-a neighbor and a good friend—was limping along, and his American niece Phyllis, aged nineteen, had been doing well but had lost interest in the last ten minutes. It would soon be teatime. The Colonel was sleepy and looked it. 'Quack,' said the Colonel thoughtfully, pushing a forefinger against his Kipling-style mustache. 'Pity-I was thinking of earthquake.' 'If you've got quack, Uncle Eddie,' said Phyllis, 'how could you get quake out of it?' The cat made another more sustained noise at his door, and now with black tail and brindle hindquarters in the house, he moved backwards and pulled something through the plastic oval. What he had dragged in looked whitish and about six inches long. 'Caught another bird,' said Michael, impatient for Eddie to make his move so he could make a brilliant move before somebody grabbed it. 'Looks like another goose foot,' said Gladys, glancing. 'Ugh.' The Colonel at last moved, adding a P to SUM. Michael moved, raising a gasp of admiration from Phyllis for his INI stuck onto GEM, the N of which gave him DAWN. Portland Bill flipped his trophy into the air, and it fell on the carpet with a thud. 'Really dead pigeon that,' remarked the Colonel who was nearest the cat, but whose eyesight was not the best. 'Turnip,' he said for Phyllis's benefit. 'Swede. Or an oddly shaped carrot,' he added, peering, then chuckled. 'I've seen carrots take the most fantastic shapes. Saw one once ...' 'This is white,' said Phyllis, and got up to investigate, since Gladys had to play before her. Phyllis, in slacks and sweater, bent over with hands on her knees. 'Good Chr— Oh! Uncle Eddie!' She stood up and clapped her hand over her mouth as if she had said something dreadful. Michael Herbert had half risen from his chair. 'What's the matter?' 'They're human fingersV Phyllis said.

Persians are well known for their looks and sweet personality. They have a long thick hair that requires some attention but you will enjoy their sweet and quiet company. Persians originated in Mesopotamia (later known as Persia and Irak nowadays). The long hair was probably the result of a mutation. A Italian nobleman (Pietro della Valle) is credited for bringing the first Persian cat to Europe in 1626. Until the end of the 19th century long haired cats from Persia, Turkey or Afghanistan were known as "Asiatic" cats. In 1871 Persian type cats were exhibited at the Crystal Palace cat show, in Hyde Park, London. They had become popular at the time because Queen Victoria loved the breed. The present day appearance was achieved through selective breeding. Persians have a round head, short face, chubby cheeks. small ears, big eyes and short legs. Their hair is longer than other long haired breeds like Angora. Persian cats were first imported in the United States in the late 19th century. They have become widely popular. Persians have appeared in many Hollywood films. One of the funniest ones is as the companion of Blofeld, the supervillain in the James Bond series. He is recognizable for always having a Persian cat with him. Persians love routine and calm environments (even more than other cat breeds). They will adorn your chair, sofa or bed until you have time to admire her and provide the attention she deserves. This cat will not climb your curtains or countertops nor perch on top of the refrigerator. Their domain is the floor and low surfaces where she can groom and rest. They are however selective, they will reserve their attention to family members and those few friends or guests whom they trust. Persians have many health incidences. There is a number of potential health problems you should be careful about:
You should also be careful with their use of the litter box. Litter or feces may become attached to their coat. Persians are more likely than most cats to stop using the litter box.
Excessive tearing requires wiping the corners of the eyes daily to prevent infections and eye stains. Persians are exclusively indoor cats. Letting your Persian out will increase the time you spend grooming. A Persian coat is not made for shedding dirt or leaves. Persian cats who are let outside run many risks (being stolen, she won't be able to fight against other cats or dogs). After reviewing the list of health issues and daily care required, why would anyone want a Persian? Persians are one of the most beloved cat breeds because of their beauty and calm personality. The beauty of their coat is a joy to admire and to touch. Long, thick, shinny and with a fine texture. Persians come in many colors and patterns. Almost all colors and combinations are accepted (white, blue, black, red, cream, chocolate and lilac—and then there are the shaded, smoke, tabby, calico, particolor and bicolor divisions). Eye color is related to coat color. White Persians have blue or copper eyes; other solid-colored Persians have copper eyes; silver and golden Persians have green or blue-green eyes. Persians are strikingly beautiful! Persian cats are easy to live with, they are calm and quiet. You should think carefully if this is the breed for you. Unless you are prepared to become a part-time cat groomer or keep the coat clipped short, you may want to choose a less demanding breed. Kitty in NY has some Persian clients. New Yorkers love their elegant beauty! Our caregivers will brush your Persian cat to keep it in top shape while you're away. Contact us to book your next in-home cat boarding service. We'll be glad to help you. |
