Special Nutritional Needs For The Persian Cat
By: Jane R. Bicks, D.V.M.


The Persian Cat is the quintessential, luxuriously
longhaired, and usually royally pampered cat.


Unfortunately, many of the Persians I've seen
have been pampered to death by indulgent, nutritionally
uneducated owners.


The major errors, I've found, are feeding all meat
diets, baby food, overfeeding with table scraps and
treats, and leaving food down for all day nibbling.
These are definite - and dangerous no - nos!


Persian cats are not particularly active cats and are 
prone to obesity and FLUTD; proper diet is, therefore
a necessity. Calorie intake should be controlled.
Feed only low magnesium cat foods. You may want to
leave cat food down all day for those predisposed to
FLUTD.


Ocular discharge is common in this breed, so you
should clean a Persian's eyes once or twice daily
with a piece of damp, sterile cotton. To prevent
eye infections, a strong immune system must be
present to provide ample antibodies.


A daily antioxidant plus bee pollen should be given.
If you are using a supermarket label cat food, all a
well rounded supplement with vitamins, minerals, 
amino acids and fats.


A specific hair supplement containing the B vitamins,
zinc, and fatty acids can make that marvelous coat
of the Persian cat look its very best.


With Persians, grooming can not be ignored and should
be done daily. Remember, when brushing, brush backwards
to distribute oils evenly. Administer hair ball treatment
between meals two or three times weekly.

Vegetable enzymes will ensure delivery of essential hair
and coat nutrients.
