Persian Cat
Persian cat is a long-haired domestic cat breed with a round face and short muzzle. The name
refers to persia where similar cats have been found since the late 19th century, this type of cat
was developed in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Persian cat is famous for its soft and calm nature as well as its beautiful long fur. One of the
breeds registered in Australia is the Persian which has appeared in cat shows for more than 100
years, available in a variety of coat colors and patterns including brown, blue, black, purple,
cream, dark gray and stripes.

Persians are suitable for living indoors because it helps them to maintain the condition of their
fur.
Persian is a cat that tends to be calm and affectionate, easily adapts to various environments,
but does not like to be disturbed.
They are highly groomed cats who depend on their owners for their comfort and well-being.
Persians will change their fur twice a year, but shed their hair every year.

The Persian is an old Breed. To those who love this elegant cat, it will come as no surprise that
the longhaired beauty originated in the cradle of civilization: Mesopotamia, which was later
known as Persia and is now modern-day Iran. The breed’s long hair was probably the result of a
natural mutation, and its striking appearance attracted the attention of 17th-century Italian
nobleman and world traveler Pietro Della Valle, who is credited with bringing the first longhaired
cats to Europe in 1626. At that time, the cats had shiny, silky gray fur, but thanks to selective
breeding Persians are now found in a kaleidoscope of colors, including bi-color (a color
plus white).

Until the late 19th century, when breeding and showing cats became popular, longhaired cats
from Persia, Turkey, Afghanistan and other exotic locales were known simply as “Asiatic” cats
and were often bred together. At the Crystal Palace cat show in 1871, Persian-type cats were
among the breeds exhibited. They were popular pets of the time and had a special cachet
because of Queen Victoria’s fondness for the breed. Even in the Victoria era, association with a
“celebrity” ensured an animal’s desirability.

Through selective breeding, cat fanciers began to mold the Persian to its present-day
appearance. They bred cats to have a round head, short face, snub nose, chubby cheeks,
small, rounded ears, big eyes, and a sturdy body. Their fur was longer than that of the Angora
cat, and they had shorter legs. Soon, the Persians surpassed the Angoras in popularity.

In the United States, where they were first imported in the late 19th century, they also became
favorites, edging out the longhaired Maine Coon cat, which had once held pride of place as an
American sweetheart. In the little more than a century since, the Persian has become the most
beloved cat breed in the world, prized for its beautiful appearance and sweet personality.
