Young Persian kittens should be introduced to the grooming regimen as early as possible so they will get used to the routine and learn to tolerate, if not, enjoy the experience. Since they have extremely fine hair, you should be very gentle when combing or brushing them. Persian cats that are not used to regular grooming while still very young can be much harder to brush, which entails being extra careful when grooming them until they get used to the process.

If an adult Persian cat is not comfortable being groomed, avoid subjecting him to the regimen for too long. You can make grooming sessions fun by doing it in short bursts, making sure you have some of his favorite treats on hand. But if you really have trouble getting your cat to accept being groomed, perhaps taking him to a grooming parlor is the best answer to your pet’s grooming needs. The staff is well trained to deal with difficult cats and get them used to being combed and brushed. As your cat gets more accustomed to being groomed, gradually increase the amount of time you comb and brush their hair.
