The medium Persian cat is one type of Persian cat that has a half-flat nose and results from crossbreeding with local cats.
That is, medium Persians result from crossbreeding between Persians and Locals, which then results in a blend of noses between the two breeds (not sharp and not flat noses).
Medium Persian Cat Breed
The Medium Persian Cat that resulted from crossbreeding between Persians and local cats can be distinguished according to fur color and type. So here are the types of Medium Persian cats:
1. Persia Medium Shorthair
Persian Medium Shorthair is the result of crossbreeding between Persian females and local males, or it could be the other way around. That is Persian males and local females.
The characteristic of the Persian Medium is that it has fur that resembles the local parent, so it is short-haired. In addition, they will also inherit other genes from the local parent.
Whether it’s from other physical forms or a nature that usually characterizes local cats in general.
2. Persia Medium Longhair
Persian Medium Shorthair is the result of mating between Persians and local long-haired cats. So the result is a kitten that has long hair.
Although in some cases, crosses between Persians and short-haired locals can also produce long-haired cats. But this happens quite rarely because in fact they are more often produced from the mating of two parents who both have long hair on their bodies.
Characteristics of Medium Persian Cats
That’s because in order to mate with a local shorthair cat, the cat must inherit the physical genes from the Persian.
To get to know more about Persian Medium cats, then you should read about the characteristics they have.
Well here are some of the characteristics of Medium Persian cats that can be clearly seen:
1. Has a Medium Nose
That is, this type of cat has a nose that is neither sharp nor flat, so it is said to be medium-nosed (medium).
This kind of character can be obtained by Persian Medium, because he is a child of a crossbreeding between a snub-nosed Persian, with a local cat that has a normal and slightly sharp nose.
Therefore, the result of the combination of the two genes has produced a kitten with a nose shape that is neither flat nor pointed.
2. Face Shape Not too flat
Although in general Persian cats have a flat face due to a flat nose. But in the Persian Medium version, the face is not really flat, because there is still a bulge from the nose that is not flat.
If you try to compare Medium and Peak noses in one table, you will be able to see it clearly. How flat the Peak nose type is when compared to the Persian Medium.
3. His face is not too round and tends to be a bit sharp
Although normally Persian cats have a round face because they are fat, in the Medium version, the face is not too round and rather pointed like local parents.
Crossbreeding between two breeds of cats will generally result in a blend of two genes from each cat parent.
4. Medium Persian Cat Fur Some Long and Some Short
Persian Medium cat hair is indeed divided into 2 different types, shorthair, and longhair. But although some have short hair, when compared to other short-haired cats, the fur will look a little longer.
Vice versa, if the long hair version, it will be seen that the length of the fur is not as long as the Persian cat.
5. Medium Cat’s Legs are Slightly Stronger than Pure Persians
The mother cat so will have more strength in the legs than pure breeds.
But when compared to local breeds, Persian Medium still loses in terms of strength and length.
Because Persian Medium, still inherits the genes of Persian cats that are famous for being short and having fat bodies. So the result of the fusion of the breeds produced kittens like this.
