These days, Persian cats are among the most popular breeds of cat. On a Persian cat you will notice it has long hair and it is very attractive, with a very gentle disposition. These Persian cats can become man’s best friend in no time and they require very little attention. Despite this, as a pet owner it is worth noting down some important cat health care tips to ensure they stay happy and healthy.

White is the most common colour for Persian cats but there are also other colours too. During competitions, they are divided into seven colour divisions – solid, silver and gold, tabby, shaded and smoke, particular, bicolour, and Himalayan.

Persian cats should always be kept inside of the house, to protect their coat. If they travel outside, they can easily damage their coat. It is also important to brush your Persian daily to prevent hairballs and stop the fur becoming tangled. Bathing is also essential. Bathing works best when the cat is young, as it will get him used to it. Some breeds simply don’t need regular bathing, but Persian cats cant maintain their beautiful coats on their own so you need to help them out a bit. This is because the Persian fur is long and dense, so regular brushing keeps it in pristine condition.

Naturally, you want your beautiful Persian cat to be as healthy as possible and these cat health care tips should help ensure that. Make sure you take your pet to the vet on an annual basis for him to check over your cat’s general health. Persian cats can live up to 20 years providing you look after them properly and keep their health in good order. However, one important thing to be aware of is a Persian cat’s eyes. Persia cats have large eyes and this means they sometimes cant clean them efficiently. This is a common healthy problem with the breed, and should be checked on a regular basis to ensure that it doesn’t get out of control.
