Feeling overwhelmed by new cat

Please don't flame me. I'm feeling utterly overwhelmed by my new cat,he was a christmas suprise from dh. Persian,8 months old.
The grooming is fine,but cleaning the eyes,wiping it's bottom etc I just find it overwhelming.
Today there is a trail of poo in his path as he wont let me clean his bottom. He's very very fluffy. He's an adorable cat & we all are very fond of him. He's settling into our home well & we've
I wouldn't say to dh,but what on earth was he thinking? I'm having a wobble. Just need a routine I think but it feels like another baby.
Is it normal to feel like this? I've had cats all my life,but general moggies.
Dh researched the breeder etc & he's lovely when I've contacted him about anything. Dh knows I love Persians which is why he got him.
Please be kind!

Beautiful cats. I love persians but could not handle the fur, so we got an exotic shorthair. Same squished face and similar personality, minimal grooming. Sadly he was knocked down last month but it is definitely a breed I will get again. Come over to the cat picture thread to show off your cats ladies!

One of our neighbours has a cat similar to Jesus, he comes over every morning for a chat (no idea what he is saying obv so we just smile and nod) lovely cat but I always think God I couldn't handle that fur!! I would get some clippers and keep him well trimmed Wink

I have a friend with a rabbit called Jesus....
