About the Persian

The Persian is a medium cat breed originating in Iran (Persia). Adult cats typically weigh 7 to 12 pounds and live 12 to 17 years. The breed is described as calm, affectionate, sedentary, flat-faced.

Quiet indoor homes where someone will brush daily and wipe the eyes. Persians are genuinely placid and suit low-activity households. Anyone who cannot commit to daily grooming. A neglected Persian coat mats to the skin and needs shaving under sedation. The flat face also means heat and exertion are managed more carefully than with other cats.

Adult Persians need about 15 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 20 minutes. The coat is long-coated with high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
