Meet the Persian
Persians are medium-sized cats that usually weigh between 7 and 12 pounds when fully grown. However, they often look heavier than they feel, thanks to their long, thick coat. Their silky fur is one of the Persians most distinctive features and gives them their sophisticated look.
Their hair is long all over the body, with a ruff at the neck and a bushy tail. Cream and silver are the most common shades, but Persians can be a range of colours, including silver, red, brown, blue, and cameo. In addition, they can have a solid colouring or different patterns, such as shaded, smoke, tabby, and calico. Therefore, each Persian tends to be aesthetically unique.
The Persian’s other distinctive feature is their round head with a short nose, small ears and full cheeks. Moreover, some Persians, known as Peke-face Persians, have an extremely flat face, which was first due to a spontaneous mutation. This version is now selectively bred alongside transitional Persians; however, the flat face types are often prone to breathing problems and other serious health issues. Therefore, when looking for a Persian kitten, we recommend choosing the traditional kind.
Persians have a sturdy, muscular body with short, thick legs and large round paws. Their eye colour varies and often depends on their coat colour, but copper and blue are the most common.
The temperament of a Persian cat
Persians are gentle, docile, and incredibly sweet. They are one of the most discreet breeds as they do not tend to vocalise their wants and needs as some other breeds do. They have low energy and prefer napping instead of playing.
They love when their owners settle down on the sofa to watch a movie, as this signals snuggle time for them. Moreover, there’s not much point in buying a fancy cat bed for your Persian as they will claim your lap as their bed or sleep on something that smells of you while you are away.
Despite their love for human affection, they are not needy like other breeds. They won’t demand your attention if you are busy, but instead, they will patiently wait for you. Thanks to this laid back personality, Persian cats do fine when left alone.
Plus, they are happy to spend the day lazing around, so they do not care for or need regular play sessions. They are low maintenance and have simple needs. They might play with their toys sometimes, but they are unlikely to climb your bookshelf or jump on top of the fridge.
10 Reasons to add a Persian cat to your family
- They are super gentle - Persian cats don’t have a vicious bone in their body and never act aggressively towards humans or other pets.
- They have low play needs - A Persian is happy to nap and laze around, so you don’t need to spend much time playing with them or keeping their minds engaged.
- They won’t wreak havoc in your house - Persians are not known jumpers or climbers, so they won’t go around knocking things off shelves or ripping up your curtains.
- They are discreet - A Persian will not wake you in the middle of the night with their meow or loudly cry until you feed them. The noises they make are quiet, and they use their eyes to communicate with you more than their mouth.
- They create a tranquil ambience - If you’re someone who appreciates peace and quiet and you like to live in a harmonious environment, a Persian cat will make the perfect pet for you.
- They come in various colours - Although cream is the most common shade, you can find Persians in many different colours and shades.
- They are luxurious - If you like the finer things in life, a Persian is a perfect breed for you. They will add a touch of glamour and style to any home.
- They have a super cute face - Their doll-like face is so cute that you’ll have to restrain yourself from squeezing their cheeks out of adoration.
- They have been around for centuries - Persians have a long history and were viewed as highly valuable pets when they first came to Europe.
- They also make beautiful cross breeds - Persians have been successfully crossed with other pedigrees, such as Siamese and American Shorthair.
Best homes for a Persian cat
A Persian cat needs a quiet, serene environment to call home, so they make a great companion for older couples or someone who lives alone. Moreover, it is not wise to get a Persian cat if you have many young children around or your house is high-energy, with lots of people coming and going. This will be highly stressful for your Persian, and they may resort to hiding anxiously under the bed.
Although Persians are friendly towards people, they reserve their love and affection for their owner and are not fond of strangers. Furthermore, Persians can coexist with other pets, depending on their personality. Of course, a Persian will not do well with a playful puppy or a high energy Bengal. Still, it can be nice to get another gentle cat such as a Ragdoll to keep your Persian company while you’re at work.
Persian cats are very docile, so they will never initiate a fight with another animal. Moreover, they can easily get intimidated by dogs and more confident cats. So, if you already have other pets at home, consider if a Persian would mix well with them.
