Yes, the short plush coat tangles less and needs far less time than a long Persian coat. It still benefits from regular brushing and face cleaning.
They are usually patient and tolerant with gentle children. Calm handling matters because they prefer quiet company over rough play.
Many cope well with a normal working day if they have company from time to time, but they are people-oriented. Daily check-ins help keep them content.
