My Four Persians - Magnolia, Dahlia, Lilium, and Chrysanthemum
Magnolia, Dahlia, Lilium, and now Chrysanthemum - four elegant Persians at Cantitoe Corners.
This year, I welcomed four beautiful Persian cats into my home. Three were adopted through Rock 'N Rescue, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Bedford Hills, New York, not far from my farm. All live in my Winter House - my silver shaded Persian Magnolia, my dilute calico Persian Dahlia, my brown Persian longhair Lilium, and the newest to join the family, my chocolate Persian Chrysanthemum.
Enjoy these latest photos.
-
- Magnolia has been with me since January. She has beautiful golden-copper eyes and a friendly disposition.
-
- She’s about three years old and so curious – roaming from room to room, upstairs and downstairs, keeping an eye on everything that goes on.
-
- Here she is in the laundry room on top of my large ironing table that was still warm.
-
- And here she is in my sitting room stretching in a “play bow.” Do you want to play, Magnolia?
-
- Is this a yawn, a meow, or both? Do you know… cats meow primarily to communicate with humans? It’s their way of expressing their emotions, wants, and needs.
-
- This beauty is Dahlia. She has captured everyone’s hearts here at the farm.
-
- Dahlia loves company and attention. She’s the youngest of the Persians at about one year old.
-
- Dahlia is fond of following anyone around the house hoping for a rub.
-
- Sometimes Dahlia likes to lounge in one corner of my enclosed porch where she gets full views of the outdoors through floor to ceiling windows.
-
- Dahlia plays hard and sleeps hard. Kittens six months and older, and adult cats, sleep about 16 to 18 hours a day on average. And, kittens have a similar routine to adult cats, napping throughout the day. They are usually most active at dawn and dusk. Dahlia enjoys napping on this settee in my sitting room.
-
- This is Lilium. Lilium is about three years old with beautiful facial expressions and markings.
-
- Lilium traveled all the way from Doha, the capital city of Qatar in the Middle East. I adopted Lilium and Magnolia through Rock ‘N Rescue.
-
- She fits in so nicely with her new “sisters.” She’s playful, confident, and very friendly.
-
- She’s also quite curious. Here she is checking out the holiday decorations.
-
- And here she is in the enclosed porch where the “kitty buffet” is kept for all the cats in my Winter House.
-
- And this beautiful chocolate Persian is Chrysanthemum. She also traveled all the way from Doha and came to me through Rock ‘N Rescue.
-
- Her gorgeous coat is chocolate to smoky brown.
-
- I adopted Chrysanthemum on Halloween. She has just started to explore more of my home. She also loves company and rubs up against all who stop to say hello.
-
- In fact, she is quick to walk towards anyone looking for an ear scratch.
-
- The hanging icicle ornaments on a tabletop tree caught Chrysanthemum’s attention long enough to get this photo. All four cats get along quite well and are wonderful additions to my furred family.
