_{Foghart grunted, finally away from the hustle and bustle of the clan. It was somehoe quieter, even with the deafening crickets, and siren of the wind. He sighed deeply, letting the cool air wash over him, sending his long fur into a frenzy. It whipped and whistled in the wind, and he gently shut his eyes. 'Hummm hm hm, all the stars in the skhmm hmm' He hummed, the old lullaby like his best friend. He hummed gently into the wind, letting the music notes carry themselves into the air.}

The large tom leaned against the tree, content and watchful. He scanned the ground, catching his eyes on the little grey furballs that sauntered, the fell, sauntered than fell. He smiled, grimly, remembering his youth. His brother's and sister's squeaks in the early morning, as they all yearned for milk from mother. He chuckled softly, then gingerly looked left. The freshkill pile stood in a threatening mound, gleaming down on him. He was hungry, but he was in no rush. The day was lazy and quiet, no rush to make his maneuver to the pile. Besides, who had the energy to find something of their taste, these days? He grinned, then looked up at the sky, the glowing purple seeming like a loose blanket over him. 'Oh lovely...' He whispered quietly, to himself.

The Persian is a long-haired breed of cat characterized by its round face and shortened muzzle. Its name refers to Persia, the former name of Iran, where similar cats are found.[dubious – discuss] Recognized by the cat fancy since the late 19th century, it was developed first by the English, and then mainly by American breeders after the Second World War. In Britain, it is called the Longhair or Persian Longhair. The selective breeding carried out by breeders has allowed the development of a wide variety of coat colors, but has also led to the creation of increasingly flat-faced Persians. Favored by fanciers, this head structure can bring with it a number of health problems. As is the case with the Siamese breed, there have been efforts by some breeders to preserve the older type of cat, the traditional breed, having a more pronounced muzzle, which is more popular with the general public. Hereditary polycystic kidney disease is prevalent in the breed, affecting almost half the population in some countries.
The placid and unpretentious nature of the Persian confers a propensity for apartment living. It has been the most popular breed in the United States for many years but its popularity has seen a decline in Britain and France.
