Sometimes, we want to ignore the red flags because we&rsquo;re mesmerized by how adorable they are, but we know we can&rsquo;t (and shouldn&rsquo;t) ignore them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you bring a pet into your home, they become a part of your family. And you can&rsquo;t just give up on a family member, right?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that you need to be prepared to deal with a few behavior issues that your Persian kitty may have. You can&rsquo;t just abandon them because you wanted a cute cat &ndash; it&rsquo;s a living creature that has wants and needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every cat has a specific personality, but depending on the breed, you can assume what type of cat you&rsquo;re actually dealing with. Every feline has its own charm and temper that you need to brace yourself for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&rsquo;t know a cat completely until you bring her into your home and live with her for a while. Just like with humans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are a few things that you can assume, depending on what breed you&rsquo;re planning to get.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some Persian cat behavior problems that you may encounter if you decide to bring one into your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

That&rsquo;s when your cat continuously runs around, makes weird noises, and you can&rsquo;t get a hold of her, no matter how hard you try.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, be prepared to deal with the zoomies on a daily basis if you get a Persian cat. They&rsquo;re rather small felines and once they accumulate a lot of energy, they&rsquo;ll want to get rid of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem here is that this can happen in the most random moments. It doesn&rsquo;t matter if you&rsquo;re home or not, if you&rsquo;re sleeping or not.&nbsp;These hyperactive cats will zoom through your home like someone&rsquo;s chasing them and they&rsquo;re running for their very lives!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can mean that they may break things without any consideration for your expensive furniture and decor. That said, this is something that almost every cat owner will experience, regardless of breed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t play enough with your cat, she will try to get rid of that accumulated energy by jumping onto the curtains as if there&rsquo;s something waiting on the other side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s really nothing that you can do to avoid the zoomies or calm your cat down until she gets rid of all that energy.

One of the Persian cat behavior problems that you may have to deal with is that they&rsquo;ll try to mark their territory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&rsquo;ll pee anywhere and everywhere just to establish their dominance. This is especially true if your cat is male.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Persian cat owners neuter their male cats precisely because of this. They can&rsquo;t handle the stench and constant cleaning after their cats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially considering that these purring machines won&rsquo;t stop. Once you clean up their business, they just mark their territory once again to feel like they&rsquo;re the ones in control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Persians can also become quite territorial when it comes to their owners, aka you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your furry friend smells another cat on you, don&rsquo;t be surprised at how vengeful she can become. Her sense of smell is so strong that she&rsquo;ll know right away if you petted another cat while you were out of the house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can make your cat ignore you for the entire day, or until the smell completely wears off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

We see them as our children and we love them so much! So, you&rsquo;ll probably want to keep your cat close even while you&rsquo;re sleeping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&rsquo;s when you&rsquo;ll realize that your Persian cat actually SNORES!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t be alarmed. As strange as it sounds, this is normal for this breed. It&rsquo;s weird when you&rsquo;re looking at your sweet kitty and those sounds are actually coming from her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you plan to share sleeping quarters, you may need to invest in a good pair of earplugs. Don&rsquo;t be alarmed, just make sure that you&rsquo;re ready to hear some weird noises coming from that little creature while she&rsquo;s sleeping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

What does that even mean?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, one of the Persian cat behavior problems that you won&rsquo;t be able to avoid is the fact that they are prone to being quite snobby at times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll think that your cat actually hates you. She may look irresistibly cute and cuddly, but she&rsquo;ll always find a way to make you leave her alone. It doesn&rsquo;t matter if she has to show a little aggression to achieve that, she&rsquo;ll find a way to make you back off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;re baffled by your cat&rsquo;s behavior, she&rsquo;ll simply walk away majestically and start grooming herself as if nothing happened. That&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s so specific about this cat breed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a Persian kitty wants attention, she&rsquo;ll make you pay attention to them. But when the time comes for her alone time, make sure you&rsquo;re out of her sharp claws&rsquo; reach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

She doesn&rsquo;t know that her claws actually hurt and that you&rsquo;re in pain. All she&rsquo;s thinking is you&rsquo;re just another cat trying to play with her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, however, can become a huge problem. When you try to pet your Persian purrincess, she may simply jump at your hand and cause serious damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her hissing will make you believe that something is wrong and that you should make your cat feel safe, but you should probably stay away in those moments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t want to deal with any of these issues that we&rsquo;ve mentioned and aren&rsquo;t prepared to go through the training, you may want to reconsider getting a Persian cat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like any other cat you encounter, a Persian cat can have behavior problems.
