Persian Cat Gifts

Persian cats have been first brought to Europe in the XVI century from Iran. They are beautiful cats that are often used in cat shows around the world. The appearance of the persian cat differs greatly from today´s standard. Hundreds of years of selective breeding made Persian cats cobbier cats with drastically shorter muzzle. It´s not clear when longhair cats (in general) first appeared, as there are no African Wildcats (believed to be ancestors of domesticated cats) with that kind of fur. We have a lovely selection of Persian Cat Merchandise to buy on our web site.

General Information On Persian Cats

Show-quality Persian Cats have an extremely long thick coat, short legs, a wide head with the ears set far apart, large eyes, and an extremely foreshortened muzzle. Persian Cat eyes are often gooey, and the owner should clean their eyes at least once every day. The Persian Cat breed was originally established with a short (but not non-existent) muzzle, but over time this feature has become extremely exaggerated, particularly in North America, and Persian cats with the more extreme brachycephalic head type are susceptible to a number of health problems (specifically affecting their sinuses and breathing) caused by it. Their short muzzle also causes then to have dust and debris cover the inside of their nostrils more often, which makes it very difficult for them to breathe.

Persian cats can have any colour or markings including pointed, golden, tortoiseshell, blue, and tabby. Tipped varieties are known as Chinchilla. Point varieties are called Himalayan Persian Cats in the United States and Colorpoint Persian Cats in Europe.
