Any Persian owners? What should I know?

We are long term fosterers and have had many, many cats through our home. While we have loved them all we have owned cats in the past and quite enjoy the temporary nature of fostering.

DP was recently asked to cat sit for a new neighbour, and over the weekend I went with him to care for the cat. He is the most delightful, handsome smoky Persian with amber eyes. He took to me straight away and was affectionate without being all over me - it took everything in me not to bring him home Wink

I am very rescue minded so I would never buy a kitten from a breeder, but it got me thinking about potentially adopting an adult Persian in the future. Does anyone have any insights into their personality? Are they known for being affectionate? This guy had a quirky little personality - is that typical?

Juicy, yours sounds like an unusual Persian! I agree that if they've been used to having their eyes cleaned from kittenhood it's easier. Mine haven't. So they hate it. They do clean them pretty well themselves though. Only had one major issue with the bum fur and back leg trousers, and that was after I gave them a pouch of Sheba as a treat. I got the vet to deal with that!
