History of the Persian Cat
The origins of the Persian are as varied as the number of people describing them, but it is fairly well accepted that some early Persian cats came from Persia (now known as Iran), and Turkey, and were introduced to England by early European travelers, and during the time of the Crusades. Some historians believe that the Persian may have mated with Angoras in Italy during the 16th Century.
Everyone agrees that the Persian was high on the list of esteemed "possessions" by royalty, from the king of Persia to the kings and queens of England. In the late 19th century, North America discovered the Persian cat, and it soon reached the zenith of being the most popular cat in the United States, an honor it still holds today.
With its glorious long-flowing coat and sweet face to match its disposition, it is no wonder the Persian is the favorite cat among all pedigreed breeds. Persians require a secure, serene environment, but once they feel safe, they will be a constant source of pleasure to the lucky household that is owned by a Persian. The Persian requires regular maintenance to keep the beauty of that coat, so consider carefully before making what should be a lifetime commitment to this glorious cat.

Certificate
Why certificate is important?. With the cert you can trace back your cat lines, where the parents came from, what the color behind the lines, are they previously having any health or genetics problems and how good is your cat lines. Even though among the persians, the cat registry body have guidelines and standards to find which is better persians. So, all pedigree persians MUST comes with certificates for example from The Cat Fancier's Association (CFA), The International Cat Association (TICA), FIFe etc. Most of the pedigreed persian are not sold in the pet shop. You can only buy them from registered breeder.

Daily coat care of longhair cats
Daily coat care
The daily care of a Persian coat is not as complicated as many will claim. Not under normal circumstances anyway. One does not necessarily have to brush the cat every day around the week. On the other hand one should, whilst handling the cat anyway, feel through the fur every day to avoid entangled knots developing. One should be specially aware of the fur behind the ears, between the front legs, on the belly and the back legs/thighs, where it is softer/woollier.
Bathing
As mentioned above, you should bathe your cat about once a week or twice a week depending on the condition. I usually bathe small kittens in the baby bath tub and rinse them under the tap. Same goes with the adult cats. When I bathe my cats, I usually follow this procedure:
1. Start by rinsing the coat thoroughly. Cats often prefer the water a little warmer than we humans, almost like for a baby.
2. The shampooing: There’s a jungle of shampoos on the market. There are shampoos for all sorts of situations. There are shampoos for different colors, treatments, volume, protein - you name it, there’s a shampoo for it. I have tried few of them on the market and not many products have taken my fancy or given me the result I wanted. Generally, it is recommended to let the shampoo sit in one to two minute for a good result. This goes for most products.
The secret behind a healthy coat is as mentioned not brushing every day, but bathing. When the coat becomes difficult to handle, it is often because the coat has become greasy, and because dust and other things collect in the coat and cause the hairs to stick together with knots as the result.Bathing your cat is not as difficult as it may sound. Many breeders start bathing their kittens at a very young age to accustom them to it, and in that way ensure that the new owners should have no problems with it.
Rinsing
The absolutely most important thing about bathing a Persian coat, and what is maybe often done hastily. A Persian coat that is not rinsed properly gives just as unkept an impression as an unbathed cat. If you want to make en effort to get a good result, spend a few extra minutes on the rinsing. It is usually recommended to rinse for at least twenty minutes. Don’t forget the legs and the underside of the cat (the belly). If you only rinse over the back, all the shampoo remnants will run under the belly and the legs.
Drying
A Persian coat consists of guard hairs, “middle hair” and underwool. This means it is completely unsuitable to let the cat dry on its own. It certainly does not give a pretty result. The underwool causes the coat to tangle if it is damp, and one can get a lovely bunch of tangles to handle as a result (something that pleases neither the cat nor the owner). It also takes quite a long time for the coat to dry. After bathing, dry the cat well with towels, before it is time for the next step. Dry the cat till it is properly dry, or you will risk that the coat tangles (under the belly, on the back of the legs). When drying their coat I normally use a blow-dryer (Saloon blow-dryer). Depending on which blow-dryer you use the drying time differs of course. One should be careful not to blow-dry at a too high temperature. The coat dries out quickly, and the skin may become irritated. Try to get hold of a blow-dryer, which blows a lot, but still has a mild temperature.
Stud Tail
Stud tail is a problem I would like to mention. Mostly unneutered males exhibit this phenomenon, but also neuters sometimes develop a stud tail. It is glands at the root of the tail which excrete this fat, which can seem impossible to get rid of and which looks ugly. If you don’t do anything about stud tail fast, you risk that the cat loses fur on the affected area.
There is not really a miracle product against stud tail other than while bathing the cat as usual you shampoo the tail with YES dishwashing liquid (for example Amway dishwasher/dishdrop liquid), which you leave in for a few minutes. When the cat is dried and ready, you can apply talcum powder to the affected area and keep treating it with talcum powder every day. The stud tail problem is usually periodical and as a rule it is worst when the stud is most sexually active But as mentioned before even neuters may exhibit this phenomenon once in a while.
Good talcum powders to use are for example:
- Johnson´s Baby Powder
- Natusan

Persian Cat Characteristics
A show-quality Persian has an extremely long thick coat, short legs, a wide head with the ears set far apart, large eyes, and an extremely foreshortened muzzle. Their eyes are often gooey, and the owner should clean their eyes at least once every day. The 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 Persians 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 them 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 color or markings including pointed, golden, tortoiseshell, blue, and tabby. Tipped varieties are known as Chinchilla. Point varieties are called Himalayan in the United States and Colorpoint Persian in Europe. In the USA, there was an attempt to establish the Silver Persian as a separate breed called the Sterling, but it was not accepted and Silver and Golden longhaired cats, recognized by CFA more specially as Chinchilla Silvers, Shaded Silvers, Chinchilla Goldens or Shaded Goldens are judged in the Persian category of cat shows. The Chinchilla Longhair has a slightly longer nose than the Persian, resulting in healthy breathing and no tearing of the eyes. Its hair is translucent with only the tips carrying black pigment: a feature that gets lost when out-crossed to other colored Persians. Out-crossing also may result in losing nose and lip liner, which is a fault in the Chinchilla Longhair breed standard. One of the distinctions of this breed is the blue-green or green eyecolor only with kittens having blue or bluish purple eyecolor. Because their fur is too long and dense for them to maintain themselves, Persian cats need regular grooming. To keep their fur in its best condition, they must be bathed regularly, dried carefully afterwards, and brushed thoroughly every day. Their eyes need to be checked for problems on a regular basis because some animals have trouble keeping them clean. As they grow older, Persians tend to develop a crusty-like object under the eyes. Likewise, Persians are particularly susceptible to a genetic disease which causes kidney failure, PKD, Polycystic kidney disease, among other diseases. However, cats can now be DNA screened for the gene that causes PKD, so these affected cats are gradually being removed from the Persian gene pool by responsible breeders.Longevity is usually between 10 and 19 years on average. The White Persians eye-color can be orange-eyed, blue-eyed, or odd-eyed. The blue-eyed type is prone to deafness.
