Do you need to groom a Persian cat?

Yes, you need to groom a Persian cat. Daily brushing is necessary to prevent matting and tangling of their lavish coats. Due to their thick fur, Persians are prone to hairballs, but regular grooming helps minimize this risk. Pay attention to areas like the underarms, stomach, and hindquarters, where matting is common. 

Additionally, routine eye cleaning is necessary, especially for Persians with teary eyes, as their facial structure can contribute to tear staining. Occasional baths, teeth cleaning, and nail trimming are also essential to keeping your Persian healthy.
