Breyer — CollectA Persian Cat

The Persian cat is generally described as a quiet cat. Typically placid in nature, it adapts quite well to apartment life. It is a long-haired breed of cat characterized by its round face and short muzzle.

The selective breeding carried out by breeders has allowed the development of a wide variety of coat colors, but has also led to the creation of increasingly flat-faced Persian cats. There have been efforts by some breeders to preserve the older type of cat, the traditional breed, which has a more pronounced muzzle, and is more popular with the general public.

In 2021, Persian cats were ranked as the fourth-most popular cat breed in the world.
