Persian (including Himalayan)

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.

Coat colours: Persian coat colours come in too many varieties to list here, the basic “Divisions” are: Solid Colour, Silver and Gold, Smoke and Shaded, Tabby, Parti-Colour, Calico and Bi-Colour.  The Himalayan coat colours are: Seal Point, Lilac Point, Chocolate Point, Blue Point, Cream Point, Flame Point and Torti Point.
