Oct 14, 2008 - man, that lady doesnt know what she talking about!! The original 'blue persians' were a breed created for the 1872 Crystal Palace Cat Show. Original 'Blue' pedigree came from mixing a Chartreux with a 'big strong british cat' and later persian interbreeding to give those gorgeous round heads. The most famous BB is of course Lewis Carroll 'cheshire cat' :D

Oct 14, 2008 - Would you say their temperament is calm compared to other breeds? I am thinking of getting one but I want to know if they are the type who like being lap cats. Thanks

camcrazed Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - YES! I searched high and ow for a cat that was a companion and happy to be confined to house as I had a busy road in front of my house back then. I went to the supreme cat show in ondon and asked lots of questions to breeders of different cats, everyone said the same "go look at the BSH section" So, off I went and sure enough, my perfect cat awaited me. I cannot recommend this breed more if you want a teddy bear of a cat.

Oct 14, 2008 - do they have to be kept indoors?? thanks

tootnbarb Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - My Smokie cat is very vocal. She is an indoor cat who goes out to the backyard on a leash and when she wants us to take her outside she can be vocal and annoying. Also she does not like to be held and will give out a sorrowful meow.
