I visited there in May and was surprised at the low entrance fee of two leva. London zoo, by contrast, will set you back 19 pounds sterling. Zoo park, however, still retained the feel of a zoo from a bygone era; unfortunately, it still has to catch up with London's progressive approach towards housing animals. I have read, however, that zoo park is in the process of upgrading its facilities to meet current European standards in order to become a full member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Nearby were two hyenas who were playing roughly and running around their sizeable concrete enclosure, leading onto an extensive collection of big cats, the first of which were two Servals, dozing in their sunny cage. Next was a jungle cat, a jaguar and a Persian leopard. Although the bears and big cats appeared well physically, they displayed signs of poor mental health, pacing back and forth in one corner of their cage or enclosure. I also felt that these big cats were being housed in cramped cages, less than three metres in width. The lions, however, had a very large concrete enclosure. Then they can head off into smaller rooms at the rear, affording us a closer look when in the insect and reptile enclosure. Also on display are hippos, elephants and a good range of primates. The primates were in cages similar in size to those of the big cats which again made me uneasy. Having said that, I did see some signs of an upgrade during my visit. On the day I was there the press were present to film the unveiling of an interactive touch screen map. I am not sure at the time of writing if this is fully functional. The older map is a large pictorial plan of the zoo in the centre of the park. Although basic, it was fairly easy to understand, the pictures making it straightforward for speakers of any language and/or children.

It is believed that around 1850, diplomats who were traveling around world began to bring to their families in British Empire and Mainland Europe few longhaired kittens from Middle East. These were the Persian cats (they’ve received the name as the country of origin- Persia). Persians had an immediate success in England, Italy and France becoming most popular than the native domestic cats who were shorthaired. Than as now their beautiful fur aroused the interest of everybody but actually it was their mild temper which cemented their relationship with humans.

Today’s Persian cat is the result for the transformation of the breed lasting for more that 150 years. Breeders shaped this breed over the time in a real vision of beauty and of serenity succeeding to keep the balance between health and force on one hand and a kind temper on the other hand, a mix which drew an ever increasing number of admirers. With their long fur and funny muzzle Persians are considered today’s most popular cats.

Persians are excellent pets and integrates very well within family, especially when they fell safely in the new environment. They mostly like to stay inside house in an atmosphere of peace and calm. People of all ages like them as they are playful pets but never annoy their master trying to grip the attention. They have a melodious and pleasant voice and big expressive eyes. The most popular color for Persians is white but there is a wide variety of colors.

Persians are big and strong cats. This look is accentuated by their large and thick fur. Their body is stable and stocky, have massive and muscular shoulders and back. The head is round and wide, ears are small and deep hidden by hair and sometimes covered with tufts of hair. The Persian cat ’s limbs are short and thick and the paws are large and rounded, similar to lion’s paws.

The long fur needs a closed and protected environment, a proper maintenance (daily brush which should remove the fur peewee) occasional baths – made only after the coat was well-brushed thus the fur will be kept clean and healthy. You have to pay attention also to their eyes and ears as they are very sensitive. The polycystic kidney disease (a genetic disorder) affects almost 50% of Persians. An excessive long fur could cause them skin sensitivities, sebaceous secretions or eczemas.
