Its fluffy fur, soft lion paws, and refined demeanour have all made the Persian cat one of the most fancied felines across the globe. This ancient breed from Persia (and later, Iran) now graces a myriad of homes with their calm and quiet grandeur, often preferring to tend to their elegant kingdoms alone.

Though naturally easygoing and independent, however, Persian cats require diligent care and attention—from tedious grooming to tailored nutrition. A catered diet, like those provided by Royal Canin, can notably address their unique nutrient needs while improving hair health and digestive performance.
