Early History

You may not know that the Persian cat breed was originally bred in Iran, although it’s now one of the most popular cat breeds in the world. It was first imported to Europe by Pietro della Valle and his family, who returned from their travels with one male and three female Persians. The first litter of cats produced by these felines was born in 1858, with a second litter following shortly after.

The breed became known as longhaired cats because of their long coats and fluffy tails; however, this wasn’t always an accurate description given that there are also short-haired persian cats around today!

Bred to be a pet

The Persian cat is a breed that was bred to be a house pet. They are one of the most popular cat breeds in the world today, but their origins can be traced back thousands of years ago. Their name comes from Persia (which is now Iran), where they were highly prized by royalty and regarded as sacred creatures.

Persian cats come in a wide variety of colors and patterns: solid black or brown, white with gray markings, tortoiseshells with black stripes or spots on them, tabbies with distinct tabby stripes like jaguars have—the list goes on and on!

If you love cats but aren’t sure which kind would best fit into your lifestyle then it might be worth keeping an eye out for a Persian because they tend to have sweet personalities that make great pets for families or individuals alike.

Modern History

Nowadays, Persians can be found in all different colors and patterns. You can find them with ebony coats, snow white fur and even varying shades of gray. They make excellent companions for many reasons: they are intelligent, gentle and loyal to their owner.

They were first bred in Iran around 300 B.C., and were originally imported to Europe by Pietro della Valle, an Italian traveler from Rome.

Persian cats are one of the most popular cat breeds in the world today. They have been bred for their beautiful coats and green eyes, but they also have a sweet personality.

Persians were first bred in Iran around 300 B.C., when Persian merchants brought them to Europe as gifts for royalty. The breed was originally called “Angora,” after its place of origin, Angora (now Ankara), Turkey. In Europe, Persians were known as “Turkish Cats” until 1871 when they became official members of the American Cat Fanciers’ Association (ACFA). In that same year, British fanciers began breeding Persians with Siamese cats for their graceful bodies and long silky fur; this led to what we now consider to be traditional-style Persians with longer coats than those found on modern show cats today
