Like many Persians, the Back is affectionate and dignified, although they have a reputation for being more playful than the White Persian. The ancestors of today’s Persians were probably stocky, longhaired grey cats brought to Europe from Persia in the 1600s and silken-haired white Angora cats from turkey.

Persian longhairs come in many different colors and patterns. In some countries, such as the United States the color variations are considered as varieties of the same breed, but in Britain, each different color is listed as a separate breed.
