Do you keep their butt shaved? I know to brush every day. I shave my doggies but so it's not as messy when she poos. She has long fur too. But persians are even longer.

My cat Tibby isn't a persian, but she does have long hair. I normally just trim the hair around her bum, if I don't she sometimes will get klingons!

I don't have to have persian. But I do want big ol fluff ball. I know that ragdolls and maincoons are long haired. Is there any others? FLUFFY like a persian.

There are Birmans and Norwegian Forest Cats. My Sky is a Norwegian Forest Cat/Siamese Mix and he acts more like a dog than a cat because he's so social.

I was at an International Cat Show last weekend and I talked to a lady about her Turkish Angora. They're very beautiful cats and she said that they're very social and love helping people with their daily activities. They have medium long hair with bushy tails. Here's a link about them: Turkish Angora. There are so many wonderful cats out there but some do require a lot of maintenance. Good luck.
