"The ideal Persian should present an impression of a heavily boned, well balanced cat with a sweet expression and soft, round lines. The large round eyes set wide apart in a large round head contribute to the overall look and expression. The long thick coat softens the lines of the cat and accentuates the roundness in appearance."

Ancestors of Persian Cats were brought to Europe in the 17th century along with jewels, silk, and spices from central Asia, probably Persia (Iran). Other longhaired cats (Angora) came from Turkey and added to the breed. References to such cats dating back to 1684 B.C. were found. Persians have been popular since the Victorian times. In the 19th century, the Persian Cat became the symbol of luxury among the European elite. These cats were among the first breed to be registered and shown. They were first called Longhairs; this term was used until 1960. Many Persians that were found in the USA come from mating Angora and Maine Coon Cats.

The Persian cat is one of the oldest breeds of cat. In Britain, it is called the "Longhair" or "Persian Longhair" (tipped varieties are known as "Chinchilla Longhair").The Persian cat is reputed to originate from Iran (Persia), but interbreeding of Angoras with native British domestic longhairs in the 19th Century makes the true origin of the breed unclear . A show-quality Persian has an extremely long thick coat, short legs, a wide head with the ears set far apart, large eyes, and an extremely foreshortened muzzle. The breed was originally established with a short (but not non-existent) muzzle, but over time this feature has become extremely exaggerated, particularly in North America, and Persians are prone to a number of health problems (specifically affecting their sinuses and breathing) caused by it. However, conscientious breeders eliminate this by careful choice of breeding stock, as the goal is first and always healthy cats.Persian cats can have any colour or markings including points, tortoiseshell, blue, and tabby. Persian cats with point are refered to as Colourpoint Persian in Europe and Himalayan (cat) in United States.
