These days, Persian cats are among the most popular
breeds of cat. Well known for their
gentle and sweet personalities and their long hair, Persian cats have very
attractive features. They are great
companions for virtually anyone, and not very demanding. Unlike other breeds, such as the Siamese
breed, Persian breeds need very little attention.
Although white is the color normally associated with
Persian cats, they actually come in a variety of other colors as well. During competitions, they are divided into
seven color divisions – solid, silver and gold, tabby, shaded and smoke,
parti-color, bicolor, and Himalayan. No
matter what color of Persian cat it may be, they are best noticed during
competitions by their long and flowing coats.
Persian cats should always be kept inside of the house,
to protect their coat. If they travel
outside, they can easily damage their coat.
They will also need to be brushed daily with a metal comb, or their coat
can become tangled, which will lead to hairballs. You’ll need to bathe your Persian cat on a
regular basis as well, to help protect his coat. Bathing works best when the cat is young, as
it will get him used to it. Bathing
should never be overlooked, as it will keep your cat's coat looking clean and
healthy. Although some breeds can maintain
their coats on their own, Persians can’t. Their fur is long and dense and
you’ll need to groom them daily to ensure their coat stays healthy.
The Persian breed is gentle and sweet, getting along
great with everyone – including kids.
They have a pleasant voice that is always good to hear. Using their voice and their eyes, they can
communicate very well with their owners.
They are very playful, yet they don’t require a lot of attention. They love attention, however, and love being
admired. Unlike other cats, they don’t
climb and jump much at all. They aren't destructive either; they just love being admired and lying around. A majority of the time, Persian cats love to
bask in the sun and show others just how beautiful they truly are.
Although most breeds can be kept indoors or outside,
Persian cats should always be kept inside and never allowed to go outside of
the house. Keeping them inside which
protect their coats and also keep diseases and common parasites away from them
as well. You won’t have to worry about
cars or dogs either if you keep your pet inside.
To ensure that your Persian pet stays healthy, you should
always take him to the vet on an annual basis.
If cared for properly, such as grooming, shots, and checkups, Persian
cats can live as long as 20 years. One
thing you’ll need to be aware of that’s common with Persians is their
eyes. Their eyes are very big and can
sometimes be too much for the cat to clean.
This is a common health problem with the breed, and should be checked on
a regular basis to ensure that it doesn't get out of control.
When you compare Persians to other breeds, you’ll notice
that the Persians are among the easiest to keep. You don’t have to worry about things like
jumping or climbing, as Persians don’t like to do either. All you’ll need to do is feed your cat and
groom him or him on a daily basis. Even
though grooming can be quite a bit of work in the long run – it’s well worth it
when you have a healthy a beautiful Persian cat.
