I have a 5 years old persian male cat living along a bengal of the same age. She always picks on him and he seems kind of depressed because of this. How can I make my persian male cat tougher so that he can defend himself from her?

He needs something worth fighting for. Everybody got something that lights that fire in them.
Feed it rare candy

Let him watch 300 but skip over the part where Leonidas throws the spear at Xerxes, then he'll think the movie is about the Persians kicking ass and winning. You could also build him armor or maybe tape some barbed wire to his collar or something to make him look more metal

That's a tough one. I had a cat that never got along with my other 2 even after several years and I ended up giving away because her life was quite unhappy. Some cats are just meant to be single pets I think.

It seems he's just a bit of a pussy, anon
Persians tend to be quite gentle-natured and prone to timidity, so acquiring two very different purebred cats wasn't the best idea. When you're not around, can you close off a door so they each have access to some separate part of the house? If he has his own space and you supervise them when you're about, he'll probably be happier, otherwise you may need to look at rehoming one.
You don't. Don't encourage fighting. Get your other cat to be less aggressive.

Those abominations are hopeless. Should have taken turkish angora if you like fluffiness.

You should work on the bengal focusing its energy (and boredom) on things like toys, places to climb on, etc. so she doesn't use the persian boy as a toy. Making the cat tougher (honestly don't know how you'd do that) could lead to more serious fighting and death.
I'm trying to do it with my cats now; everytime the problematic one goes into a room where my other cat is in, and begins to show predatory behavior (widened eyes + intense staring, sneaking up on them), I just distract her with a fish rod while petting the other cat so it calms down
Or maybe you just wanted someone to post >>2206854 idk
