The Persian is one of the oldest breeds: its ancestors reached Europe from Persia (today’s Iran) in the 17th century, and the modern type was shaped in Britain and the USA. Persians are calm, gentle and quiet, and they value comfort, a predictable routine and the quiet company of their owner. The long, thick coat needs daily combing and the eyes regular care, so the breed suits people who enjoy a slow pace and are ready to spend time on grooming.
