her kittens. She was doing a bunch of tests, cause one had what looked
like ring worm and apparently on cats that can come with other skin
diseases, too. If it were me, I'd be telling the breeder that it's
their responsibility to rid the cat of ringworm and provide a clean
bill of health before I'd be paying any money for cat. (If you're
buying from a breeder that is.) I like Erika's idea of looking for a
persian rescue org.
Also, note that long-haired cats have, well, a lot of hair. That means
lots of dusting/sweeping/vacuuming to keep your house clean; lots of
brushing to keep your cat's coat in shape; lots of hairballs (or
potential for hairballs), which could mean lots of puking.
Don't get me wrong, my dog has a long (and double) coat, and I think
it makes her beautiful. But, I'm not sure I'd get another long-haired
dog, and my cat gets enough hairballs even with short hair.
