Persian Reviews

Having been an animal lover all my life and owning all kind of animals naturally I am only happy to have the house full of furry friends. Since meeting my partner who is not a fan of animals we had to make a compromise. If we were going to get a cat - it had to be a persian. Deal! So we set about trying to find the new addition to our ...  Read the complete review

PERSIAN CAT Or should I say 'My Persian Cat' I knew nothing about cats until I got two as pets. As an introduction to the Persian I do know they originate from Egypt, which surprised me, as they must be jolly warm with all that hair. They are a pedigree breed and these days they breed them to have almost no protrusion on ...  Read the complete review

Firstly excuse the long introduction but I feel it is important to set the scene ... just under four years ago, my husband and I decided to expand our family by getting a cat. We would have liked a cat from a rescue centre, but as we lived in a flat and were in full time employment at the time, we were deemed undesirables by most rescue centres. ...  Read the complete review

As a cat and all round animal lover I have five cats ( I know five!!) two of which are Persian. Persians are well known for their flat faces, good temprements and for being very high maintainence cats. I first thought about getting Persians after stumbling across a Persian Breeders website, I had always liked the idea of a pretty Persian cat and ...  Read the complete review

If you are thinking about getting a Persian Cat I would like to help by giving you an insight into what it is like to own them, how they are to care for, and to highlight the difficulties and of course the joys. I will start by explaining that I have kept them for the last decade following on from 15 years of owning moggies. I had ...  Read the complete review

We wre planning on buying an apartment dog but then we decided it would be unfair so we (me my mum and my sister) looked in Loot (the newspaper) for adverts for cats. We weren't planning on getting a persian but the desciption seemed adorable. 'Mischievious little boy; like knocking things over. White with brown nose, pasa, tail ...  Read the complete review

The main difficulty with persian cats ...  Read the complete review

Until recently, we had only owned the usual sort of cats - tabbies, rescued ones, that kind of thing. We did have a half-Persian cat in my childhood though, which was beautiful and briefly owned an Abyssinian, which moved out of a neighbour's house and into ours - but our new cat, Shady, is our first proper Persian cat. She belonged ...  Read the complete review

I have four persians, a big black boy called Al, a red self, a blue and a blue white bi colour girls. They take up alot of my time, grooming seems to be my middle name! I am hoping to breed them this summertime, but if nothing comes of it i dont mind, they are first and foremost members of the family. To give my opinion on persian ...  Read the complete review

I have a Chinchilla Persian who is now 5 years old called "Oscar" Although I admit it takes a alot of time to keep his coat in good condition, grooming him sometimes two or three a day. The rewards you get from this affectionate breed are certainly worth it. I love persians and I chose this breed of Persian due to the ...  Read the complete review

I have three. A huge red self. A seal point princess and a white chinchilla. I love them to bits especially the seal point. If you want a cat that is playful but not very destructive then i don't think you can go past a persian. They are usually very gentle and love to be petted. They are proper pets in the real sense of the word. they can ...  Read the complete review

I am going to echo Catawall's opinion. Please think very carefully before taking on a Persian cat - they take a lot of care and hard work. Ideally they should be groomed at least twice a day. My persian was two when I adopted him, quite frankly the owners made a very lame excuse why they couldn't keep him - it was obvious they cope with ...  Read the complete review

Please think very carefuly before aquiring a Persian, I had always wanted one so took the plunge. My first mistake was to not question the conditions the kitten had been raised in she appeared to live in the house but I could see cat runs in the garden it became very obvious she had only been bought into the house for me to see her. A very pretty ...  Read the complete review
