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.
Very interesting…I love to read about the different breeds.
Thanks, Chris! I’ll try to write more about them.
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!
it will take her about 2 weeks to adjust please dont let her out in that amount of time because she will run away and will become very scared best wishes x
please send me any infomation

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
We just love them you cant get cuter than a persian!!!! cutest little faces ever !!!!! I use to have up to 5 at any one time however they took a lot of brushing!!
