I bred Persians for almost 12 years. There’s a lot of points here that are right on but there’s a whole bunch of them that are absolutely wrong. Persians are like dogs, extremely intelligent and very easy to train. They are so unlike any other breed of cat in that they are anxious to please, they seek a companionship and an approval from their owner. They hate to be scolded and display a guilt complex when you correct them. They have very long memories and they don’t tend to forget.

They’re sight and hearing is extremely sharp. They are also like dogs in the sense that they can sense when something is wrong with you, they will pester you like crazy but only out of love and concern knowing and sensing something that perhaps you might not about yourself. They are not independent and should not be left alone like other cats. Some cats you can leave for a couple of days but Persians need daily attention both in the morning and in the evening. So before you go to work make sure you cuddle your kitty and then when you get home give them lots of attention, they’re very needy.

The exotic breed or the short haired Persians live longer than the long-haired Persians especially the extreme or pig nose Persians. No one knows exactly why this is but the exotic breed lives nearly 80% longer. The average lifespan of a long-haired extreme Persian is about 12 to 14 years. Exotics can live 18 to 20 years. Lots and lots of respiratory problems with these cats and keeping a course of amoxicillin on hand is a breeders Godsend. These cats get respiratory infections easily because they cannot breathe or expel air through their nasal passages the same way so keeping their faces wiped off daily is critical to their health. Also their digestive systems are very sensitive. They get diarrhea easily and do not like change of diet. If you’re going to introducing new food, you have to do it extremely slowly. And let’s not start with the hairballs. Adding a little bit of olive oil to their food dry or wet will help lubricate the intestines and keep hairballs at a minimum.

I loved my babies and I miss them terribly. I moved to Texas after they had all died and because it gets so warm down here I chose not to get another long-haired person though I want one desperately. They are companions unlike any other cat and unlike most dogs. They are true love machines, it’s in them to want to be with you.

Persians are one of the most popular cat breeds in North America. They look beautiful with their long, flowy coats and have a calm, affectionate temperament. Persians are not very energetic. They are happy lounging on the couch and achieve contentment getting ear scratches and gentle hand contact by their humans.

If you’re looking at the comments and confused on the level of care for a Persian because of the debate- I have 2 Persians. One is of full bred, cat show quality with the paperwork of lineage- he requires 30 min to 1 hr of brushing a day. He also requires his eyes cleaned throughly once a day and wiped throughout the day. He also has a host of medical issues due to the breed itself, they are notorious for costly health issues. My other Persian is not full bred, she came with no paperwork, she has more of a pronounced nose and she requires brushing still daily, but I’m a big advocate of brushing all cats (it also prevents hair all over the house) but she doesn’t have nearly as dense of hair. She has no health concerns and I only occasionally wipe her eyes. I still take them both to the groomer, the hair is a lot for them and they much prefer a short coat. When their hair is short, they are more lively and happy. Knots tend to form on tops and bottom of paws, around the head and in the leg and armpits. I do not recommend this breed. I would die for my sweet babies but I also see how limited they are and believe this breed should go extinct or at the very least, mix with healthy regular cats to get good genes again and create a new type of breed that would have some of the cute features but that could enjoy life the way a regular cat does. My best cat I ever had was a free one from a neighbor, I still miss her deeply to this day. Hope this helps.

"Your drawers and cupboards will be safe" she says through the monotonous banging of my persian trying to open a cupboard

My baby is very talkative, cuddly and sweet. Loves being held and definitely gets on top of shelves to knock things down haha.

I loved my Persian, Himalayan and Seal point kittens. Had them one at a time. All were calm and enjoyed being brushed because I interdicted it asap. Miss having a cat in my life.

I've had three Persians and all three could be very loud when they wanted my undivided attention or letting me know I was late getting home (one I called my little siren because his voice would go up and then down again. He also hated when I left for work in the morning and wouldn't look at me when I said goodbye). One was super laid back and didn't mind tardiness but liked to come up behind me daily and let out a loud yell when he made an appearance (he liked to see me jump, I'm sure!). They all got up onto tables and/or counters and shelves and liked to be up high and liked to play with nick-knacks (one self-punished himself when he broke something and wouldn't go back in that room). All three were very intelligent and understood 40+ words and phrases. All three were very sensitive and hated to be scolded and I made sure I never raised my voice with them. They were very playful and loved to race through the rooms and up and down the stairs. They never ever went for my face with their claws out like other cats do when very upset. Very good with brushing and teeth cleaning, nail trimming, etc. One loved to be combed and brushed so much he asked for it daily or came running when I held up the brush or comb.

I had a sweet loving and amazing cat called milo, he was my first cat and I loved him to death, got him at the age of a month and a half and he was like our younger brother, we raised him and loved him dearly, even my mom who acted as if she doesn’t like cats loved him since he saw her as his mom, he used to sleep beside her and run and lay between her legs when he gets scared, he stayed with us for an entire year before losing him due to a war situation in my country.
I love him so much, he was the most loving most amazing friend I ever had, he used to curl up and sleep on my arm, he used to wake me in the most gentle of ways, he used to wait for me at the door and run to me when he sees me after a long day.
I love you so much milo, you were the most amazing sweet friend ever 💔
Edit: apparently he was a purebred persian cat which I didn’t realize for the majority of the time I had him for, he was mostly white with some orange scattered around his ears, tail and paws, he had ocean like blueish eyes, and a look that will melt the roughest of hearts

I love them soo much❤️

[arezouhayeri]

Agreed with most except bathing, and the fact that they are all quiet not true for my cat, he was loud and vocal from the very beginning, he has had no problems with my other supper active cat and enjoys playing with her

[Snot_Rockets]

I have a long haired Persian and he most definitely does not need to be brushed everyday especially for 15 minutes. I only have to brush him two to three times a week for like 5 minutes top and he’s long haired, shes exaggerating, also my Persians eyes to do not need to be cleaned daily. If you ask a breeder or a vet person they’ll say it depends on the Persian. An extreme faced Persians eyes will probably have to be wiped daily but it also just depends. You shouldn’t classify all Persians to having these same requirements cause it’s just not accurate.

[Kruuga]

My exotic doesn't enjoy being picked up but for sure loves hanging out in my lap. Otherwise pretty much on par with how my boy Odin behaves lol.

[atheistsince]

It just destroys my soul I can't deal with pain and suffering and small life spans with loving pets 😢😢💔💔

[xlsunflower]

“Persian cats are soft spoken and quiet” ☺️☺️☺️

Meanwhile my boy just screams at all hours of the night

[amandabillingsley]

My Persian cat makes me laugh every day, love him soo much❤

I adopted my little short haired Persian with her brother (not blood) when they were three and fives years old. I have had them for seven years now so my little Persian, Sophie is now ten. She definitely has the Peke face but I have never in seven years had any health issues with either of my cats. They are exclusively indoor cats and have a balcony they love to lay on in the summer. I can't believe my cats are seniors now at ten and twelve years old. They still act the same way they did when I first brought them home. Sophie is the first Persian cat I ever owned and she truly is different that other cats. She is the most gentle little cat I ever had and she loves constant attention. She follows me around the Apartment no matter what I am doing. She is very sweet and her Brother Charlie who I believe is a Maine coon mix, is a big goofball. I feel very lucky that I found them to adopt.
