Persian Cat Supply List

We have gathered together a list of our favorite supplies and products for Persian cats. Most of the products on the following list come from Amazon.com, Castle Baths (natural products), Life's Abundance (holistic cat and dog food and products), Pet Edge, Petsmart, Petco, Drs. Foster & Smith, and 1-800-PetMed. We prefer to order most our cat supplies on-line as it saves time and quite a bit of money. Have fun with your new Persian cat or Persian kitten.

Water Bottles and Beehive Water Bowls

Water Bottles by Aquarius Products (also known as "BottleBabies"). I absolutely love this product. It helps keep the Persian coat beautiful longer by avoiding water stains and spills on the chin and neck area.
* Beehive Ceramic Water Bowls. This is a must have and the cats enjoy using these bowls. Everything is 100% handmade by Charlie in the USA, lead free, dishwasher, and microwave safe. It helps keep the Persian coat beautiful longer by avoiding water stains and spills on the chin and neck area because the opening is so small and only allows for the Persian to stick its tongue in to lap up the water.
