About the Persian
The Persian is the epitome of feline luxury and serenity, renowned worldwide for its extremely long, flowing coat, distinctive flat "peke-face" (in show lines), and incredibly sweet, gentle disposition. A quiet, sedate breed, Persians prefer calm environments and lavish daily grooming to maintain their magnificent coats. They are affectionate and form strong bonds with their families, expressing their love through quiet companionship rather than active play.
