Persian fun facts

Fun Facts:

They are called Persians because the long-haired gene mutation was thought to have originated in Persia.

Long-haired cats go back a long time -- they are even pictured in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics!

Persians have a reputation for being "furniture with fur" because they are so docile and sedentary, but they do enjoy a good bit of playtime when the time is right!
