There was some thought that the persian breed was descended from the Pallas cat because of the shorter muzzle, stocky body etc, don't know if that was ever verified or not :) They are gorgeous :Luv2: :Luv2:

never heard of them either, aren't they unusual bit like old chinese drawings of monkeys - I know what I mean lol!

The kittens are cute but the adults look fierce and quite scarey ;D

Oh well persians can't be descended from them then, they are all soft as soap.....hmmm, apart from Gwynnie perhaps?.......... :evillaugh:

My sealpoint Sassie can be a bit fierce too. Our vet found to his cost when he had to do her claws :evillaugh:. Myself, OH and vet struggled with her so he took her out back to get vet nurse. He came back and was bleeding profusely! He said she was so bad they may of had to sedate her next time she needed them done. Funnily enough she was a real sweetie on that occasion! On the first occasion she had a B12 jab as well so suspect she was a bit pissed off!
really cute kittens as well!

Gorgeous! :Luv2:
I sponsored Edinburgh zoo's Pallas cat breeding program a few years ago. I am guessing the cats have been moved to the Highlands, or is this a different breeding program/cats?

Quite a few zoos seem to have acquired Palls cats recently. I think Edinburgh are the stud book holders for them so it sounds as though the breeding programme is underway and there is probably a fair bit of cats moving around.

I suspect you are right, and there is a fair bit of "moving cats around".
I sponsored the breeding pair at Edinburgh zoo for a year (a few years ago) but I have sadly lost track now. But it is lovely to see the babies, maybe of babies.
People found it funny that I helped fund a breeding program. :evillaugh:
I am usually so anti-breeding in the domestic cat world. lol ;)
