10. Persian Cat – Iran
Persian cats, or Iranian cats, have been “created” through selective breeding from the traditional Persian cat. Their main features are the long hair and flat faces, which look like someone hit them with a frying pan.
Persian cats tend to be quiet and affectionate cats that adapt well to any environment. Their long hair needs to be frequently cleaned and combed to avoid matting. It’s important to note that, while being majestic creatures, they’re also prone to many medical conditions due to the process of artificial selection.
