The Persian cat is one of the oldest and most popular breeds of domestic cats. It is characterized by its striking, long, and silky fur as well as its distinctive flat nose and large, round eyes.

Persian cats have a compact body structure and are known for their calm and gentle personality. They are considered demanding in grooming as their long fur requires regular brushing to prevent matting. Persian cats are affectionate and loyal companions who enjoy being close to their owners but often also show some independence. They are a good choice for households that prefer a calm and relaxed cat breed.
