The neck should be short and thick, and the body cobby, solid and rounded, deep-chested and broad across the shoulders and hindquarters. The paws should be relatively large, rounded and with good tufts. The coat is long silky, flowing and shiny.

The tail should be short and carried behind, not above the body.  Persians have short heavily-boned legs to support their broad, short bodies.

Proper maintenance requires a daily grooming with a metal comb up to an hour to eliminate the potential drawbacks of tangles and hairballs.
