Persians are fairly docile cats and cooperative if you haven’t managed to offend their haughty sensibilities. Add to that, most long haired kitties have a decent appreciation for a good grooming, since it feels good to them, and they’d be a snap to care for.

They are pretty calm compared to real cats. But....my 3 nor Diana's 11 really love grooming! I took care of her 11 for a week and a half and only 1 or 2 tolerated it well. Only 1 of mine does. They are, after all, cats! With their own opinions and not afraid to express them ;) If it's supposed to be different, I will have a talk with mine - but I imagine I'll win. ;) On the other hand, you're right in that if I tried to do with my real cats what I do with the Persians, I'd likely not survive. I guess its a matter of degree. (I'm not meaning to insult the Persians - but at times, they are so mellow, they seem more like furniture accessories, especially when compared to my strays running around, full of spunk).

We’ve got 4 kitties...2 tabby males and 2 long haired females...one believed to be part Maine Coon and the other is a Ragdoll mix.

Very pretty breeds. I always wanted a Maine Coon. Does your Ragdoll fetch? I just put one to sleep that was 17, she was part ragdoll I think. She looked just like 'em and loved to play with bouncy balls.
