Today, domestic animals have undergone many changes and, in most cases, the reproduction process itself has taken shape over decades and centuries in a great space and time. One of the best examples of such a long and constant breeding process is the Persian cat. A kind of long-haired cat, this cat gets its name from the land where it originated: Persia, or present-day Iran. Later, the British began to raise it at home and, over time, the practice spread to France and the United States as well.
Based on appearance, the Persian cat can be considered to be more plump (generally weighing 3 to 7 kg) with a well-rounded head with widely spread ears. Recently, the breeding has been such, especially for cat shows, that the cat’s forehead, nose, and mouth are almost in perfect vertical alignment, although the fact remains that the original Persian cats had a muzzle-shaped alignment. very small. The general public has been very fond of this cat, especially in the US, after a steady decline in the UK and France for the past two decades, but people prefer the one with a more pronounced muzzle, rather of those who do not have it. (which is more popular with cat hobbyists), to avoid some otherwise common respiratory disorders.
The Persian cat is also well-liked because it generally adapts quite well to any human environment, making it a popular choice for families. Also in popular culture, the Persian cat has made its own mark. Crookshanks, Hermione’s cat from the popular Harry Potter series, is a gray Persian. Even Snowbell from the Stuart Little book and movie series is a white Persian cat.
