El gato persa - Razas de gato

The Persian cat is recognizable by its wide, flat face and abundant fur. They were introduced into Italy from ancient Persia around 1620. Although their true origin is unknown. The Persian cat is a family oriented and calm cat that will often be found relaxing on the sofa as it spends long hours of the day resting. It is an extremely domestic cat that does not display the typical attitudes of its wild relatives. It is boastful and ostentatious. It likes to be accompanied by people, dogs and other animals. It also behaves very well with children. It should be added that it is a very greedy cat that can be easily convinced to do all kinds of tricks if rewarded with treats. The Persian cat is prone to suffering from polycystic disease, kidney disease or retained testicles. Obesity is also a very serious problem in the Persian breed. Like any cat, we must also take care to brush it to avoid the dreaded hairballs that end up in the stomach. Persian cats shed their hair seasonally which is why it is very important to brush them daily to maintain the quality of their coat. Giving your cat a bath if they have been over groomed is a good way to prevent dirt and tangles. They have a rounded head that together with prominent cheekbones and a short snout give shape to their flat face. Their eyes are large and expressive in contrast to their small rounded ears.
