Persian cat fur is quite dense, this makes us have to diligently clean it with a hollow comb quite rare. Cats whose fur is tangled or unkempt sometimes make them feel uncomfortable and seem stressed. Reach the parts that can not be cleaned by the cat itself as in the tail, neck or legs so that lice or germs can be lost. You can do this sweep every day at least 15 minutes before you go to the office or college. You may also need to brush the Persian cat's teeth so that the rest of the food does not stick to the teeth.
5. Provide other nutrients other than meat
Can not be denied that the favorite food of Persian cat is meat or fish. Even some time ago I have been discussing about some foods suitable for persian cats in an article titled Persian cat food type. So what about vegetarian feeding for cats?
Are you a vegetarian? Actually it's okay to give vegetarian food mixed with wheatgrass for your cat. This is precisely a counterweight to avoid the problem of body weight in cats, you need to note of course do not directly convert food from meat to vegetarian food directly. Cats also need adaptation in order to receive vegetarian food because of their very sensitive stomach. Persian cat type longhair is usually the most able to receive vegetarian food but you still have to provide protein and amino acids derived from meat and fish.
6. Bathe the cat regularly
Baths are often not identical to cats in general, for example in cats that do not like water very much. Persian cat is a cat who desperately needs a bath to avoid the germs that stick when the cat is playing outside. Then do you have to bathe the cat regularly 2 times a day? Actually not too, the cat bathing schedule is very dependent with veterinary advice or preferences of the owner, even depending on the cat's own habits.

The area around the eyes of persian cat is very sensitive, his eyes are often glazed which makes him have a sticky eye crust. If you do not care about this of course make the cat easily infected with bacteria that sometimes seen from the change in face color.

Overfeeding or too much food into a persian cat is not good for his health. Cats that often eat a lot instead of frequent diarrhea or vomiting, this is because the condition of the stomach of persian cats are quite sensitive. Incorrect feeding can also make the weight of a cat can go down drastically.
10. Clean the nostrils regularly
Persian cat peaknose types often experience problems in their respiratory system. Sometimes they have to breathe using the mouth because there is a barrier that makes the air can not enter through the nose.
