They are quiet and, although not
shy, tend to be undemonstrative. They are quite loving and affectionate and make wonderful companions, and come in a variety of colors.
The Persian cat has graced the show scene for more than 100 years. Judges and spectators have been impressed with their sweet, gentle nature and long flowing coats which occur in multitude of colors and patterns.
"The ideal Persian should present an impression of a
heavily boned, well balanced cat with a sweet expression and soft, round lines.
The large round eyes set wide apart in a large round head contribute to the overall look and expression. The long thick coat softens the lines of the cat and accentuates the roundness in appearance."
