Persian / Pers.

The official history of the Persians' existence as a species of cats began in the 17th century, when their ancestors were brought to Europe.
This is the most mysterious breed in terms of origin. The Persian cat breed is one of the most ancient.
It remains a mystery where cats, whose potential homeland are not the coldest countries in the Middle East, have such long hair. There is an assumption that long-haired cats from the Middle Eastern countries got there a long time ago from Siberia.
When Queen Victoria of England adopted two blue Persian cats, a real Persian boom began.
It is the English Persians who are the ancestors of not only today's Persians, but also many other breeds. Over the past hundred-odd years, the appearance of the Persian has changed significantly, a whole range of colors has appeared - now there are about four hundred options.
