Persian cats are known for their calm, gentle, and sweet personalities. They are affectionate cats that enjoy a serene environment and prefer a predictable routine.
These cats are not particularly active or playful compared to other breeds. They are content to lounge around the house and make excellent lap cats for those who appreciate their quiet companionship.
Persian cats have relatively low exercise needs compared to more active breeds. Short play sessions with feather toys or balls are usually sufficient to keep them entertained.
They prefer indoor living and should have access to scratching posts and comfortable perches. Regular, gentle play helps maintain their weight and overall health.
Persian cats require extensive grooming due to their long, luxurious coats. Daily brushing is essential to prevent matting and tangling, and to reduce hairballs.
They should be bathed monthly and have their eyes cleaned daily as their flat faces can cause tear staining. Regular dental care and nail trimming are also important for their health.
