I love cats!
Especially Persian cats!
The Persian cat, also known as the Persian longhair, is a long-haired
breed of cat characterized by a round face and short muzzle. The first
documented ancestors of Persian cats might have been imported into Italy
from Khorasan as early as around 1620, however this has not been proven.
Instead there is stronger evidence for a longhaired cat breed being
exported from Afghanistan and Iran from the 19th century onwards.Widely recognized by cat fancy since the late 19th century, Persian
cats were first adopted by the British, and later by American breeders
after World War II. Some cat fancier organizations' breed standards
subsume the Himalayan and Exotic Shorthair as variants of this breed,
while others generally treat them as separate breeds.
