A Little About Persian Cat History
Persian cats are believed to have originated somewhere in Asia Minor. They were introduced to Europe somewhere in the 1700s, where they became known as “French Cats”. Short, stocky and long haired cats from Persia (present-day Iran) were then mixed into the gene pool, forming the breed we know and love today. The cat became extremely popular in Britain, where blue Persians were kept by Queen Victoria and other members of the royal family. Persian Cat Info. The cat has been present in cat shows for more than 100 years, shown first in Britain around 1871, where several colors of Persian were shown by Teacup Kitten breeders. The longer bodies, larger ears and small eyes made way for the short-faced and round-eyed felines we know today, as breeders’ preference shifted from the classic Angoras to the more compact Iranian type. Though the cat has changed significantly since that time, it is still the same luxurious pet.
Persian Cat Info: Their heritage may be aristocratic and luxurious, but Teacup Persian kittens are by no means delicate. Each cat has a long plush coat, heavy bones, large wide skull, large black lined eyes, round face, domed forehead, small ears, short nose, and is shorter and stockier than the normal cat. The nose of our Persian is considerably shorter than that of an ordinary cat and has a break between the forehead and nostrils. They’re unlike Flat-Faced Persians, whose noses have a more “smashed in” appearance. Their soft, dense coat is extremely long from head to tail.
