Persian cats are very calm and pliable; they like to spend a lot of time either in the arms of their owner or in a cozy, comfortable place allotted to them.
Why was the Persian cat bred
In the 17th century, Pietro della Valle brought the cat from Persia to Italy to include it in a breeding program.
This cat may have been the cat known in Persia as the desert sand cat.
This sand cat has fur that is as hard as steel wool and serves as protection in the sand.
