The Persian is one of the oldest and best-known long-haired cat breeds in the world. It has been loved for centuries for its calm personality and showy coat.

Character and temperament

Calm, gentle and quiet. It prefers a peaceful home to lively, noisy surroundings. It is attached to its people and enjoys closeness within a routine.

Exercise and mental needs

Exercise needs are low, but short, calm daily play matters for both fitness and mental stimulation.

Coat care

The long, dense coat tangles easily; daily brushing is needed. Some owners prefer regular professional grooming and a shorter clip for easier care. Gently cleaning the face and the area around the eyes every day is also part of grooming.

Who is it suited to?

Ideal for owners who can offer a calm home and make time for coat care every day.

A short history

Its origins are traced to the lands of today's Iran (Persia); the breed was developed in Europe, especially England, in the 19th century.
