Longhair (Persian) Breed

The Persian, or longhair, is a most popular breed of cats. They are generally very sweet-natured, even tempered and not too demanding of your attention.

With their long, luxuriant fur, Persians are a truly glamourous breed and are available in such a wide range of coat colours and patterns that there should be a variety that appeals to even the most discerning of aesthetes. However, remember for all the 'plus' points, you must dedicate ten minutes or so a day to the maintenance of their costs.
