Persian Cats





Is a long-haired Persian cat is marked with a round face and short muzzle. Its name refers to the Persian, Iran's former name, in which the same cat was found. Recognized by the cat fancy since the late 19th century, was developed first by the British, and especially by American farmers after the Second World War. In Britain, it is called an artist or a Persian classical musician.
Captive breeding selectively performed by breeders has allowed the development of a variety of coat colors, but also lead to the creation of the flat-faced Persian. Preferred by farmers; this head structure can bring with it a number of health problems. As with the type of Siam, there are efforts by some breeders to preserve the old type of cat with a snout more prominent, which is more popular with the general public. Polycystic kidney disease is prevalent in the breed offspring, affecting nearly half the population in some countries.
Calm and simple nature of the Persian confer the propensity for apartment living. It has been the most popular type in the United States for many years but its popularity has seen a decrease in the UK and France.
