The price of a Persian Cat in India is ₹ 12,000 - 18,000.
A Persian cat is a long-haired cat breed with a round face and short muzzle. According to the Cat Fanciers' Association, the Persian cat was ranked as the 4th most popular cat breed globally in 2021.
It is not clear when this long-haired cat first appeared; as per records, the first documented ancestor of the Persian cat was imported to Italy from Persia around 1620.
The Persian comes in 2 types:
- Show Persian Cats: It has a round head enhanced with a thick ruff, small ears, big round copper eyes, a flat nose, a short body with heavy boning atop short legs, and a thick & smooth plume tail.
- Traditional Persian Cats: It's also known as the Doll Face, does not have the good features of the show cats, and their nose is a regular length as other cats, gives it a sweet appearance.
- Both types have a long, glamorous fur coat that comes in many colors and patterns, and both share the same wonderful personality.
Trivia: Calico cats are one of the popular choices of cat lovers because of their gorgeous tri-color (black, white, and orange) coats.
