Persian cat

Persian cat, grey cat, chonky cat, gypsy

The Persian cat roots can be traced back as far 1620, originally from Iran (then Persia). The story has it that these long-haired cats were then imported into Europe as their popularity grew and breeding took place in Italy and France. The Persian cat was first presented at the world’s first organised cat show in 1871 in London, England, before making it’s way to the United States of America in the early 1900’s.
