In people's mind, their name represents nobility. In China, most people started to keep pet cats from Persian cats. However, most breeders do not keep purebred Persian cats, but rather non-purebred Persian cats bred by some businesses to cater to the consumer market, which can be seen from their prices, which are usually in the thousands of dollars for purebred Persian cats.
Like many cats, although they are called Persian cats, they are not a breed born in Persia. The Persian cat originated in Persia (Iran) and is a breed that was born in England after more than 100 years of selective breeding based on the Afghan native long-haired cats and Angora long-haired cats from Turkey or Armenia. It is said that Queen Victoria kept two blue Persian cats and the Prince of Wales (Edward VII) praised them at cat shows, and since then the Persian cat's fame has grown and the public has fallen in love with it.
The CFA classifies Persian cats into 7 sub-species according to their coat color distribution: Solid Color, Silver & Golden, Shaded & Smoke, Tabby, Parti-Color, Calico & Bi-Color, and Himalayan. Sub-species: Bi-Colour, Cameo, Chinchilla, Colourpoint, Exotic (Short haired, Persian type), Golden, Pewter, Self, Shaded Silver, Smoke, Tortie Tabby, Tortie & White. Tortie & White.
Persian cats are found all over the world, and although they are under the onslaught of new cats such as Ragdolls, Exotic Shorthairs, and Folds, their status as the "most popular cat among pet owners" has not been shaken, which shows how attractive Persian cats are.
Many people think that Persian cats must have different eye colors, but this is not the case. It is generally believed that in addition to the most familiar blue color, Persian cats also have amber, green, bronze, gold, strange colors and two eyes with different colors (mandarin eyes). Most people know that Persian cats are aristocrats, so their every action reveals nobility, for example, they are not as active as some cats, but prefer to stay quietly and watch their masters; their purring is always so soft, occasionally pouting, the owner's heart will melt; they do not appear to "fly past" you when they walk. "situation, they seem to maintain their own elegance at all times. Do not think that Persian cats are the aristocracy of cats, their ability to adapt to new environments is poor, on the contrary, they are very adaptable, even if they are just brought home, they will not appear to immediately hide in the corner, they will first observe the new environment, and then slowly come to a patrol. Owners who are worried about their cats going where they shouldn't can follow them around and keep them company, but they will definitely look like your owner.
In general, Persian cats are more affectionate, except in one case - the hot summer season, when some cats will even push you away directly when you hold them. During the summer months, cats may prefer to lie on the floor to help themselves through the heat of the summer. Therefore, it is important for owners to do a good job of cooling their Persian cats in the summer, and it is a good idea to purchase a cooling pad or turn on the air conditioning regularly for your cat.
Although Persian cats always move unhurriedly, it does not mean that they are also slow to react. Persian cats are very responsive, and a little wind can make them react quickly.
Persian cats are clingy, but if you are too busy to take care of them, they will stay quietly and watch you go about your business. In fact, Persian cats still want to have their masters to soothe them, so when you take a break or finish your work, you must interact with them, touch their bodies, accompany them to a small game, etc. will make them happy.
