Nope, my uploading problem hasn’t been resolved, so here are some more historic Andy and Dougy photos to hold you over till I have my answer:
Dougy loves the snow! (Hope you are enjoying the last of the hot weather!)
Dougy’ s curious about what I’m doing on the computer.
Of course, he’s my snoopy boy!
How about those goofy whiskers?!
Dougy’s face, gone wild.
Andy’s a good boy when it comes to posing for his photo.
“Exercises done. It must be time for a little snack. But a good scritching would be wonderful just now, too!” says Andy.
Pretty as a picture…of Andy!
The boys look good, Doug, always beautiful! Snow sounds good. It was 105 on Friday here, 100 today.
They look their best when their hair is grown out since their smoke Persian fur pattern shows. Dougy’s ruff is especially striking since he looks like a little lion with his silvered ruff, maybe even more striking because it contrasts with his personality – he’s my little comedian!
Andy is very expressive !
In friendship

That he is!
great photos, cool whiskers. They both have such pretty eyes.
Thanks! I love Persian cat eyes. They are very pretty in real life, something that is hard to capture in photos. Sometimes I succeed, and it pleases me a lot!
This are lovely cats
Thank you! They are even more lovely when their hair is long because they are smoke Persians. Letting their hair get that long, however, results in lots of matting, even when groomed regularly. Their hair is so fine, it tends to mat under front and back legs, one the back of their legs, and behind their ears. With teddy bear cuts every two months, the problem goes away!
Gotta love Dougy’s expressions. He looks absolutely dejected in the picture just before the old cat man , his whiskers and the sleepyeyed Doug. Andy is a gorgeous mancat and poses like a pro.
Shoko
Dougy is the more expressive of the two, mainly because he has amusing body language. Andy is more subdued, possibly because he had less time with his mother when he was a kitten than Dougy. He can be very sweet, though.
It is hard to understand their kittenhood and the effects it had.
Kali’s mom and dad adored her…the biological and the human family that owned her mom and dad. Kali was given any little thing she wanted. They were going to keep her and named her, “Peaches.” Shoko came from nothing. She was born on the streets of Prince George. The only thing she had was her mother and brother. If, I knew then what I know now, her brother would also be here. Shoko’s mom turned on the kittens as she was very anxious and upset stuck in a cage. Shoko’s mom was put down. Look at the two of them. So very different backgrounds and Shoko is the go go girl and Kali is layed back and mellow. Go figure.
I read one time where the position of mouse fetuses on the placenta affected the amount of testosterone or estrogen they are exposed to during development, and that makes a difference in their behavior after birth. Perhaps that applies in other mammals, too. Andy and Dougy are very different in personalities, though they both have basic Persian qualities like sweet dispositions and liking to be around people.
Your boys are just gorgeous, mushed whiskers and all. Thanks for the snow, it’s blistering and humid here.
They are especially pretty in real life. They are smoke Persians. Though they don’t develop the full look because I have them trimmed up every other month, they show something of that beautiful fur pattern the longer their hair gets.

Thanks for te link, impressive cats, and yes Persian fur is high maintenance but sooo soft.
Like cashmere…. I bet a sweater made from what I brush out of Dougy would be sooooo soft, very comfortable, but hot as heck!
They look like they are pretty pleased with themselves
They live the life of RilEy, so i suppose they have reason to be. LOL!
😀 I guess I know what your job is.
They do, anyway! LOL!
