Shampoo for Persian Cats
The Persian is a medium to large breed, easily recognised by its round, flat face, which gives it a slightly grumpy look, and by its long, luxurious coat in a wide range of colours and patterns. Persians are gentle, loving companions. From its sumptuous fur to its affectionate, easy going nature, the Persian has earned a special place in the hearts of cat lovers around the world.
It is a quiet breed, much loved in many households. Persians are known to be affectionate towards their favourite person and to prefer a calm, drama free life. They make wonderful companions, because their affectionate nature comes with an independence that means they do not demand all of your time.
Their long fur knots easily, so the shampoo has to match that need. You will find one at Ladybel, and the whole cat shampoo range is on our category page.
What are the characteristics of the Persian?
It is one of the most popular breeds in the world, with an exceptionally beautiful coat, endearing cheeks, expressive eyes and an affectionate personality. The fur may be solid or carry various patterns such as tabby or calico. It is worth noting that Persian kittens may not have their full coat until adulthood.
The texture of a Persian's coat is soft and fine, which gives it a silky feel. Regular grooming is essential to prevent knots forming, because its long fur is particularly prone to them.
Where does the Persian come from?
Although the origin of Persian cats is not clear, the ancient Persian cat seems to have come from Persia, now Iran. The breed has developed somewhat since, and the modern Persian is thought to be more closely related to cats of European origin.
The Persian officially entered Europe through the Italian peninsula in 1620. From there it spread to other European countries, including Turkey, France and Great Britain. Some historians believe Persians first reached Europe hundreds of years earlier, around 1300. Later, traders introduced them to the European continent in countries such as France and Italy, where they became very popular.
They arrived in Great Britain in the nineteenth century and were crossed several times with Angora cats in order to obtain a longer coat. Persians were highly sought after, particularly once they became popular within the royal family. After its success in Europe, the breed was exported to the United States, where the search for a flatter face and a small nose continued.
The breed as we know it today is the result of strong selection over recent decades, and many variants exist. There are seven types of Persian: the silver and golden Persian, the tabby, the bicolour, the solid, the smoke and shaded, the particolour and the Himalayan.
