Be gentle when brushing your cat, especially around their eyes and ears.
Bathe your cat in warm water using a mild shampoo.
Rinse your cat thoroughly after bathing.
Dry your cat's fur with a towel or blow dryer on a low setting.

Provide your cat with a safe and secure environment.
Give your cat plenty of attention and playtime.
Introduce your cat to strangers gradually.
Help your cat to overcome anxiety by providing them with a calming environment and plenty of reassurance.

The Persian cat is a beautiful and rewarding breed, but it is important to be aware of the challenges that come with caring for this breed. By following the advice in this book, you can help to keep your Persian cat healthy and happy for many years to come.
