Persian Cat Behavior,Personality,feeding.
History
It is believed that Persian breed was introduced to Europe in 17th
century by European explorers, who brought them from faraway Persia
along with jewels, silks and spices. Persians were imported to America
in the late 1800s, where they were enthusiastically received. American
breeders began a breeding program to refine the coat, color, and conformation.
Soon the American Persian developed a style of its own and evolved
into the type we see presently.
Appearance
The Persian is a heavily boned, well-balanced cat with a sweet expression
and soft, round lines. They sport a long, flowing coat draped on a
compact, chunky, short body. They are round headed with small wide
spaced rounded ears and large round owl-like eyes.
Personality
Persians are generally quiet, calm and totally laid-back. They have
a melodious voice and communicate delightfully with their large, expressive
eyes. They crave affection and love to be petted and fussed over.
