Everything About Persian Cats

A couple of months ago I wrote a post about my beloved cat Mitja, I told you everything about him and his habits, but failed to describe Persian cats in general and this breed in particular.  So, today, I made my mind to repair an omission and to tell some interesting facts about these cats.

About Persian

Persian cats considered to be one of the oldest breeds. They are classified as a domestic longhair cat. These cats came from the Iranian plateau (area of the present-day Iran).  Other sources state, there are some specific hieroglyphs on pyramid walls, resembling a Persian cat.

Each Persian is a strong and cobby build one, wearing a long, flowing coat. Their eyes are large and very expressive, ears are low and rounded, a nose is high and creates the effect of a “smushy” face. The cat’s head is round.

Seven color categories of Persians: solids, silver and golden, shaded and smoke, tabby division, particolor, bicolor and Himalayan.

Temperament

Persian cats are famous for their beauty and easygoing personality. They easily adapt to new environment, Persian cats are calm, obedient, loving and what is very important don’t demand all your time and attention. Also, they are kind cats and will accept new family members and other animals.

Persian health

Persian cats are rather healthy, although extreme-faced cats may have some problems with respiratory system.

Grooming Persians

Actually, if you want a beautiful and healthy pet, grooming is a must-to-do thing. Persians require grooming, you have to brush them almost every day. If you’re either not capable of fulfilling this duty or suffer from allergies, but still want a Persian cat, the only one way out – to make the lion cut for your beloved cat.

    I adopted a Persian cat 3 days ago from the rspca. Her name is Lulu, she is still hiding under the bed and getting used to her new home. She’s a smoky grey with a white undertone. Very pretty!I hope she becomes adjusted soon as I don’t like her hiding all the time!

    I have a three year old persian male cat, that is absolutely a sweet heart ! lately, he has been staying out in the garage all day, and sleeps out there at night. he has a cat door, so he can go in and out, and comes in to eat and get a drink of water. when I call him, he will come, if he feels like it, and jump on my lap, where I spend time brushing and patting him. He has always slept in the house, any where he wants, so this gargae thing is something new. is this normal ???? he does nor act sick, he is eating and everything else is normal for him. just this thing with the garage.
    thank you Carol

    Our beloved 17 tortie Persian, Mishra, just passed away in her sleep two mornings ago. She was the best of the best:) She loved our puppies as tho they were her babies. She groomed them, carried them around by the scruff of the neck, & curled up with them every chance she got! I will join another persisian to our family wnen the time is right.

    if your percian cat goes under the bed everytime bang it with a iron rod. doing this for several days teaches it good discipline and it wont go under beds after that. This is how i trained my cat…….

    I currently own a persian cat named buster, let me tell you about this cat! The coolest most relaxed chill cat! Never meowed, never bit nor hissed! He is like a little stoner cat, he is always a very very well people cat. When you called him he knew his name and followed me everywhere, he was my bud! Hes 14 human years old and has become very weak and ill, he is on his last whimb. It makes me very upset that he will be gone forever today or tomarrow but he was down right the best pet/friend ever! I dont think he could ever be replaced but if i was on the market looking for a cat i would say hands down no questions asked go with a persian, you cant go wrong! B missing you buddy!
