How Many Types Of Persian Cats Are There

Table of Contents

There are three main types of Persian cats: the Doll Face Persian, the Traditional (or “Peke-Face”) Persian, and the Himalayan. All three types have long, luxurious coats that require regular grooming.

Doll Face Persians are characterized by their large eyes and round faces. They are typically smaller than other Persian varieties and have a more delicate bone structure.

Traditional Persians have a flat face with a short nose. They are the largest of the three types and can weigh up to 15 pounds.

Himalayans are a cross between Persians and Siamese cats. They have the best of both worlds: the long, silky coat of a Persian and the striking blue eyes of a Siamese. Himalayans come in a variety of colors, including seal point (dark brown), chocolate point (light brown), and lilac point (pale gray).

No matter what type of Persian cat you choose, you’re sure to have a beautiful, loving companion for many years to come.
