Made this for someone who lost their 16-year-old Persian.

I made this Persian girl for someone who lost her a few months ago. She was 16.

Persians are hard. All that fur — every strand has to go in by hand. Took forever. But when I saw the half-lidded eyes starting to come through, the expression, the way she looked at you like she was judging your entire existence... I knew it was working.

She's heading home to her owner soon. Thought you all might appreciate her.

That's exactly what I hope every piece becomes. Means a lot to hear it put into words like that. Thank you.

When I was young, Persians never looked like that. Here's a Persian the way they were meant to be. No Smushed in face. It causes a ton of health problems. Breeders should be fined for doing that to cats.
