5 Interesting Facts About Persian Cats!

  • Persian cats are one of the oldest cat breeds in the world - they're thought to have originated in Persia (modern-day Iran) and were brought to Europe in the 1600s, quickly becoming prized by aristocracy.
  • That distinctive flat face is called brachycephaly - the same condition found in pugs and bulldogs, caused by selective breeding for a shorter, flatter skull. It gives them their unique appearance but can cause breathing challenges.
  • Persian cats are famously calm and quiet - they rarely meow loudly and prefer to communicate with soft chirps and expressive eyes, making them very different in temperament to more vocal breeds.
  • Their coat requires daily grooming to prevent matting - a Persian's fur can grow up to 10cm long and will tangle into painful knots within days if not brushed, making them one of the highest-maintenance breeds.
  • White Persian cats with blue eyes are frequently deaf - the gene responsible for white colouring in cats is linked to deafness, particularly when combined with blue eyes. Odd-eyed white Persians (one blue, one other colour) are often deaf only on the blue-eye side.
