I believe that some pet friends will confuse the two breeds of Garfield and Persian, because they are really similar, so how to distinguish Garfield from Persian?
1. Differences in appearance and body type
Persian Cats: Persian cats appear to be larger, with strong bones, short, stout limbs, and short, rounded feet, a narrow face plate, large, slanted eyes, and relatively large ears, and a short and symmetrical tail.
Garfield: Garfield is generally rounded, with the same width from shoulder to hip, and the middle of the body remains full, with a short, flat nose, round and large eyes, and small, well-fitting ears, so it does not look that large.
Second, the difference between hair and nose
Persian cats: Persian cats are long-haired cats that have thick, soft and shiny fur that looks very fluffy and comes in a variety of colors and patterns. The nose of the Persian cat is short and flat, but compared to Garfield, the Persian cat will have a slightly longer nose comparatively, revealing a noble temperament.
Garfield: Garfield, also known as an exotic shorthair, has a short, dense coat, a flatter and shorter nose, and a more sunken middle of the eyes, which makes it look more cute.
Third, the price is different
Persian cat: The price of pet level is about 2000-5000, and for particularly good condition, it will range from 6000-10000. Prices for female cats, solid-colored Persian cats, and kittens may be slightly higher.
Garfield: Garfield generally costs around 1500 to 5000, with pure breeds costing even more, ranging from 4000 to 7000.
Fourth, the difference in care
Persian cats: Due to their long and thick hair, they need more care and need regular grooming to prevent knots and keep their hair healthy.
Garfield: Due to its short-haired nature, Garfield is relatively simple to care for, just groom regularly and keep it clean.
Fifth, the difference in personality
Persian cat: The Persian cat is naturally intelligent, has a relatively gentle personality, and will not easily make a lot of noise, even if it calls, it is thin and gentle, and has elegant manners, giving people a quiet and noble atmosphere that is not easy to touch. Relatively independent, they like to be quiet and alone, and when the owner is at home, they will be more clingy.
Garfield: Garfield's personality is usually relatively gentle, close to people, likes to interact and play with people, they have good endurance, almost do not lose their temper, because they are artificially bred breeds, there is almost no ability to survive in the wild, so they have developed a pleasing personality, it is slightly more lively than the Persian cat.
On weekdays, the shoveler can interact more with Garfield or Persian cats, and can reward them with snacks, which can enhance mutual affection!
Whether it is a Persian cat or a Garfield, they are prone to tear stains due to their facial features, and if they eat too salty food, it will aggravate the cat's tear stains, so the shovel officer should take more care on weekdays, and reduce salt intake, you can choose a light cat for the cat to help manage tear stains.
Conclusion: Do you prefer Persian cats or Garfield?
