The glamorous, flat-faced aristocrat of cats, the Persian is placid, quiet, and devoted to a calm life on the sofa. It loves gentle affection but is choosy about strangers and chaos. The long luxurious coat is a serious commitment — daily brushing is non-negotiable — and the flat face brings breathing, eye, and dental issues. Best for a quiet home with time to groom.
