Cybercats is a CFA-exclusive cattery with focus on bicolors.
All
our kittens are registered in CFA and has no exotic or CP in their
pedigree. We work with some proven odd-eye-carrying lines but this is
not a focus of our breeding program. (see focus section below)
Goals and Focus:
The main goal of CyberCats is to breed
top-of-the-line bicolor persians, but the occasional
pet kitten
born is loved equally much :) Our aim is to breed cats with
excellent
overall type and
focus especially on that sweet, open look with lots of width between
large, expression-filled eyes.
A special pet-peeve of ours is the
structure of the cat - perhaps because we also show dogs, and
we strive to produce bicolors with the same conformation and structure
as can be found in the high quality solid persians. Although high-white
is what we, visually, prefer we will never allow the color of the cat
to take precedence over structure in our breeding program.
Our cats and how they live:
CyberCats is a small, home based cattery located on the West
Coast
of Sweden - in Gothenburg City. We live with our cats in a large
apartment, and the cats may if needed be separated or isolated, but are
never
caged. During the summer our cats frequently
enjoy life on an island just north of Gotheburg, but for the remainder
of
the year they live exclusively indoors (though with access to a
netted balcony).
While on the island, which is small and free of both roads and
predators, several of our cats like to come along when we walk the
dogs. Click the video below to see an example (taken in August 2010) :)
Health:
All our breeding cats are tested negative
(by DNA) for PKD (Polycystic
Kindey Desease) and have been scanned
negative (by ultrasound/doppler
scan) at least once for HCM (Hypertrpic
CardioMyopathy). To the best of our
knowledge, none of our
cats exhibit or carry any inherited health defect.
CyberCats is also, to the best of our
knowledge, free from any parasites, infectious diseases or fungus. We
do not test every animal, but take yearly samples from 1-2 cats for
FiV/FeLV (by blood sample), Herpes, Calici virus & Clamydia
(scraping/culture from eye, performed by veterinarian
- as we vaccinate our cats against
these conditions a blood sample is worthless) and do yearly
"collective" cultures, more frequently if at doubt for any reason, at
an official lab for Microsporum Canis (Ringworm).
Also, no cat born at or bred by CyberCats
have ever contracted FIP.
(Disclaimer:
None
of the above means that any and all of these afflictions may not
surface, only that we do our very best to avoid them.)

Full vaccinations, given by vet
