My name is Rone.
I'm the proud owner of Melvin, the teacup Himalayan kitten that was born with more problems than an 80 year old man on life support.
He's a tiny little guy, weighing in at 11 ounces on his 3 month birthday. When Melvin is full grown, the vet decided that he won't weigh any more than 3 pounds.
He has a form of dwarfism that makes him proportionate, not short legged like Munchkin cats. "Teacup" persian and Himalayans are a growing trend, these days, and now that I have witnessed the dangers of this breeding practice first hand, I urge anyone considering a teacup to do their homework! There's a lot of health problems involved.
Melvin's full story is located in my signature.
I'm not here to promote his blog, just his story. So I hope to make some friends a long the way!
