WARNING: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TOY OR TEACUP PERSIAN! There
have been quite a few websites with silver and golden Persians popping up recently that claim to have toy or teacup size Persians
for extraordinary prices for pet quality cats with inferior bloodlines ($2000-$4000!). Silvers and Goldens have always been
smaller than other colors of Persians. An average silver or golden Persian female weighs 5-6 pounds. An average silver or
golden silver or golden Persian male weighs 7-9 pounds. Cats any smaller than this are labeled "runts"; not teacups, toys,
minis, or whatever other designer label has been conjured up to describe these cats. Reputable breeders (those who show and
are trying to improve the breed) are working to breed away from this small size as a Persian should be a genetically
sound medium to large cat. However the unscrupulous are banking on it by misleading unsuspecting pet owners into thinking
this trait is rare, coveted, or new, and charging exorbitant amounts of money for their kittens.
