The Persian cat (Persian: Ú¯Ø±Ø¨Ù Ø§ÛØ±Ø§ÙÛ) is a long-haired breed of cat characterized by its round face and short muzzle. In Britain, it is sometimes called the Longhair or Persian Longhair. It is also known as the Shirazi cat or Iranian cat, particularly in the Middle East. The first documented ancestors of the Persian were imported into Europe from Iran (Persia) around 1620.
