Persian cats have a distinct and elegant beauty that flows about them. Long soft manes of thick fur, big eyes, and a scrunched flat face, all describe the Persian. They are amongst the oldest of cats bred as pets, and many owners have adored the Persian for centuries.

Persians are a special pedigree breed that have been kept as pets since the early 1600s. They were imported into Italy around that time era, and their appearance was quite different than it is today. Selective breeding has been an important factor for Persians, especially since many breeders do not want a flawed or defective Persian cat. Science has been unable to provide documented proof of what country or region the Persian cats originated.

The purchasing aspect of obtaining a Persian cat can be arduous at best. Try to only do business with breeders who have many satisfied customers, can provide a lot of information on the history of the cat and their own experiences, and overall try to get as much information as possible from the breeder to ensure no fraud or scams are taking place.

Protecting one’s investment is improtant, and usually it will indeed mean that a few hundred dollars in veterinarian bills must be paid in the process. With much care and proper hygiene regimens, a typical Persian cat can live anywhere from one to two decades in age. This is a fairly impressive track record- one that can easily be reached through responsible care taking abilities.

If you choose to become a Persian breeder, it is important that you choose two high quality cats. A high pedigree and a low one, will often produce less than desired results. It is also important to get a DNA test on the male and female to see if they have Polycystic kidney disease in their DNA.

Breeding a cat is not an easy process, especially with Persians. Many owners, or potential buyers do not understand the importance of taking care of a Persian. They require strenuous care, and a litter of kittens would make that even more difficult.
