I just love Persian cats ! I think they just have the most awesome faces, and such a unique personality. I have had several Persian cats, and they were all highly intelligent individuals, with their own special ways about them.
One of my favorites was a Himalayan, which is like a Persian cat with Siamese coloring and markings on the feet and ears. This cat just showed up at the house one day, and adopted me; as cats are sometimes apt to do. I lived out in the country, and had catfish ponds out behind the house where I enjoyed going fishing.
Besides the catfish, there were some bluegills, which were eager biters on almost any bait, so I caught quite a few of those. "Mr. Fisher", as he came to be called, loved to go fishing with me, and we would sit on the dock together and wait for the fish to bite, and he eagerly watched me reeling in the little bluegills, which he got to eat.
Soon, he learned to watch the bobber, and could tell as soon as it began to wiggle that we had a fish, and would jump up and start waiting for his dinner to be reeled in.
He was a very smart cat, and a great fishing partner.
