hello just wondering which is bigger a himalayan or a persian and any other info on these cats would be great thanks

You might want to go to the boards for those breeds and ask there. Both are beautiful cats who need lots of grooming. I, myself just have muttcats Who I think are just as beautiful as any full breed cat.

A house without cats is like a garden without flowers

In many cat registries (including CFA), the Persian and the Himalayan-Persian are the same breed ... just different colors/pattern.

I am currently owned by 7 Persians and Himalayan-Persians (as CFA calls them, or used to), and have had many others in the past including foster cats through the Persian rescue I foster for. Despite most people thinking they are just large furry lumps, Persians come in many sizes and head/nose shapes, depending on the breeder. I've had 5 pounders to 20 pounders, those with nose smashed up between the eyeballs and others with pretty doll-faces, and some that are active and skid around the house, while others are more stereotypical.

If you are considering buying from a breeder, do research, ask questions, look at the parent/sibling cats, and ask more questions of the breeder. There are also many, many Persians in rescue in need of good homes, so that might be a good option too.

good luck!
