The Persian is the most popular cat breed in the world for a reason. This charming feline was born for indoor living, and it seems to know where best place itself in a room to complete the interior décor. Whether perched in the windowsill, draped over an armchair or lounging on an end table – the Persian always appears to have intentionally placed itself precisely where it is.

These are relatively shy cats with a quiet, melodious voices. As with most cats, they prefer quieter, more relaxed environments. That said, a Persian can be expected to reasonably adjust to a livelier atmosphere. This is a versatile breed, to say the least, and extra considerations such as Persian cat insurance ensure they live long and happy lives.

Persians come in a wide range of colours and patterns. They come in solid colours along with silver and gold, shaded and smoked, Siamese colourpoint (i.e. Himalayan) and much more. Suffice it to say, if it’s a possible cat colouration you’re looking for, there’s probably a Persian that has it.
