 There
is no correct proven theory as to the origin of
the Persian.
It
is maintained that at the end of the 16th
Century it was discovered in Ankara. For a long
time they were known as Angorian cats.
Other theories designate Persian than the
country of origin and therefore them since some
years Persian are called. Researchers mean that
they maintain others from long hairs game cat
forms, e.g. the Manul descends that the long
hair is a natural protection against winter cold
weather in the mountains around Ankara. With
which we landed again in Turkey. It
is maintained through research that the long
hair for resulted from a mutation and also
through breeding by selection and breeding
programmes to ensure that the long hair gene was
inherited. As is the case for so many,
the truth will lie somewhere also here in the
centre. In
the last Century the Persian was exhibited at
shows in England for the first time. Their
popularity soon spread throughout the World.
Besides
the Siamese the Persian is the most well known
breed in the world.
The
first Persians were black and white. The colours
blue, cream and red were soon to follow.
The
Persian standard calls for a round head and
small ears set well apart and full cheeks. The
eyes are large and round and except for a few
exceptions the standard calls for the eyes to be
Orange or of a Copper colour. A compact body
sits on short, strong legs with round paws. The
coat should be long and silky. The tail is short
and bushy. A break or kink in the tail or a
point at the end of the tail is considered a
fault. The Judges would withhold a cat with
faults like this which would mean no awards. It
would also not be advisable to breed from a cat
with faults such as these.
The table
of color doesn´t show only the kitten for
solid, it is also for smoke, shaded, tabby and
bicolor. The color-code for CFA, FIFE and GCCF
is here.
