Persians are the calm and cuddly cats of the family! They love peaceful environments and quiet time.

They have tiny voices and soft purrs. ๐Ÿ˜บ

๐Ÿ– Food & Treats

Persians can be picky eaters! They like their food fresh and their dishes clean. Their flat faces make eating a little tricky, so they might take their time at meals. They need special food to keep their beautiful coat soft and shiny. Don't forget fresh water - keeping their face clean after drinking is important! ๐Ÿ’ง
