Persian Cat 

This is a Persian cat, a breed known for its long, luxurious fur, flat face, and calm personality. The most striking feature in this photo is the heterochromia—one blue eye and one amber or copper eye. This condition is rare and considered beautiful in cats.

Specific Expression:

The cat appears to have a calm yet slightly aloof expression, which is typical of Persian cats. The straight, slightly tilted head and neutral mouth give it an almost regal or composed look, while the eyes add a touch of mystery.

The Persian cat is one of the oldest cat breeds in history, dating back to ancient Egyptian times. They originated in Persia (modern-day Iran) and were imported to western Europe during the 1600s. Considered very rare, members of royalty and noble families favored these cats. Queen Victoria of England had many cats, but one of her favorites was a fluffy white Persian cat named White Heather.

If you've recently adopted a prim and proper Persian your own, here are 120 purrfect Persian cat names to draw inspiration from.
