With a sweet expression and mild temperament, the Persian is the most popular cat breed in America. It has large, round, and wide-set eyes that give it a curious and adorable look. They have higher maintenance grooming needs than other breeds, but their sunny and easy-going dispositions more than make up for the time commitment needed to groom them properly. 

 

The Persian is a heavily boned, well-balanced cat with a sweet expression and soft, round lines. This cat has large round eyes set wide apart in a large round head. The long thick coat softens the lines of the cat and accentuates the roundness in appearance.
