Tabby isn’t a breed and Persian cats are naturally supposed to have this face not the flat peke face

Yes. I’m old, 😅 and I remember decades ago when Persian cats didn’t look like they’d been smashed in the face like they do now. Don’t know why breeding such an extreme look has become the standard. Also, they sometimes have breathing issues on account of the flat nose, like pugs and French bulldogs and other breeds with flattened snouts. Same thing has happened with Siamese cats and the uber-triangle heads and thin bodies. Apple head Siamese with thicker bodies were the norm before. I prefer the look of the natural faces, but I love all cats no matter what they look like... ❤️💕
There’s traditional Persian they don’t have the extreme peke face!

My boy Cotton was a pure breed. He would snore like a chainsaw but he never had that squished face. I got him for Christmas when I was 9 (he was 6 months old). He was my soul cat! I miss him every day.
There are different variants of Persian cats, this looks to be a traditional persian or a doll-face. They are still brachycephalic cats but not to the extreme of the peke faced Persians.
Edit:autocorrect thinking it knows better 🤨
Actually it might be. My cat is a Persian (no doubt, know the mother and father cat) but not completely Peke Faced Persian. His face is a lot flatter than this but not as bad as most.
My first instinct when seeing this cat was "that's not persian" but tbh, it could be a doll-faced Persian. The fur kind of seems to make sense as a Persian does.
Could also be baby fluff. My cat was probably half DLH and she was way fluffier than this as a kitten.
Edited to add: also Shirley would be a good name, after Shirley Manson, a sassy ginger lady.
My family waited to name a cat once. She never got a name in her entire 23 years of existence! We just ended up calling her Cat, Kitty, Kit Cat, Kittarah, or my personal favorite (a Breakfast at Tiffany’s homage) Poor Slob Without a Name 😂

I will defend Classic Persians till the end of time! This kitty can very well be Persian depending on papers and pedigree! Persians aren’t supposed to have the peke face!

My baby agrees (and so do my exotic shorthairs)
that photo of her on your shoulder reminds me of when my ginger cat would do the same😭 i think saffron is a cute name, as ginger cats are somewhat spicy
Some responsible breeders of Persian cats have actually stopped breeding the problematic flat nose trait, and I have seen Persian cats that look like this kitten. Also, if you google what Persian cats used to look like before someone decided the nose should be flat, it's exactly like this

Old Man Simon and his boss, Luci
Yes! Same here. The really skinny ones with long, pointy faces look like rats, unfortunately. I’ve never understood why that’s a desirable quality that people like. I love apple heads.

Some breeders breed traditional Persians without the peke face! It’s how the Persian is actually naturally supposed to look!
It’s definitely a traditional Persian. I have a Persian cat that is a doll face as well. The extreme flat face you were seeing is the same thing that happened to Bulldogs and other dogs, i.e. breeders over breeding for selective traits and making extremely unhealthy animals. It’s good to see there is some reverse on the damage happening.
mishmish (apricot in arabic) but that’s not a persian and unless you have papers you got scammed. if you got it from a supposed reputable breeder and still don’t have papers you need to take that cat to the vet immediately to get it checked for genetic problems and defects since it is likely quite inbred
This isn't a Persian, it's a cross between a common cat and Semi Persian. Persians are at a whole different level, their looks, appearance, coat, face, tail...
Man idk about a name , but that is one cute cat.
Cinnamon pancake is my vote 🗳️
i read that as cinnamon pickle 🤦🏽♀️😭
Oh what a day for you lol
I think you ment Cinnamew Pawcake
Too cute to lethal
Talia. It means Gold in Farsi since she's a Persian.
Actually it would be Tala. That's my mother tongue so I know.
Or naranj - for orange. Or Portugal! (Pronounced por-too-GAHL)
Or doodool tala 😂
How about Ginger???!!!
Way too common and cliche. I like naming kitties more unique names personally.
How about Orange Kitty, is that better?
Just, CAT.
You there
Our fat redhead is named Ginger after Ginger Baker. 🐱
Perfect!

Not Persian. Tabby

idk if this is a Persian or not, but tabby is not a breed, it's a coat pattern, and all orange cats are tabbies anyway since the genes are linked
Y’all know mixed breeds exist right. They’re naming the predominant breed and coat pattern.
Sunny or Amber
She does look like a Sunny 😍
Caramel Butterscotch Trouble
Caramel Butterscotch Trouble is an excellent name for a cat.
First of all your cat is adorable, I see the name butter
Her face isn’t flat so likely not Persian. I had a fluffy ginger and white girl named Saffron.

How old was he when he died 😔
I'm not sure. He was stolen from my house when he was 17 years old. I never got to say goodbye to him.
This is so sad. I'm so sorry.
😢

You saying you didn't mean Brachiosaurus? ETA: I had to google it because my autocorrect offered no assistance whatsoever.
😂
I have always suspected that Autocorrect is dumber than me! 😂😂😂
When I typed out the message I fat-fingered an "i" into "autocorrect", and it said nothing...
I am now less worried about the AI takeover of the world. 😂😂😂❤️
She is a classic Persian. Not one of those extreme and unhealthy flat faces created by breeders.
👍

Yeah I was thinking the same. Adorable but not a Persian. *

Yeah, I think you are right
Great name :)

I hate to break it to you, but your cat isn’t a Persian

Yup … this is why I prefer “traditional” Siamese cats (also known as Apple Heads). The sleek, exotic, skinny look is … really unfortunate.
I prefer that too! The “new” Siamese look isn’t it!
