How does a Persian look?

Inviting is what you see when you look at a persian. Their warm, soft, fluffy coats are an invitation to touch, pet, cuddle, & hold these loving creatures.  The sweet expression of their round faces and huge gentle eyes complete the spell that draws them into your heart.   Psychologists agree that petting a cat will reduce your stress level & there's no better cat to pet than a soft, fluffy persian!  

What is the personality of a Persian?

The persian is generally a quiet cat, a couch potato, but they do have their spells of acting like a complete goofball.  They are gently players, non destructive, and seem to enjoy entertaining their human counterparts with their silliness.  They can chase a ball all morning and then nap with you all afternoon
​

Do Persians require special care or grooming?

Spending just a few minutes a day combing a persian will keep it's long fluffy coat looking beautiful as well as providing valuable bonding time with your pet.  Bathing will greatly reduce any tangles as well as shedding & will enhance the beauty of the coat.   Your Cacao Persian will have had multiple bathing and grooming sessions before coming to you so it will enjoy the grooming time as special.  Persians love the attention.  

Don't let the fear of grooming keep you from one of these wonderful cats.  If you prefer, you can keep the coat in a short cut, called a "lion cut", that is still soft and fluffy, but requires less grooming.
