Nice and beautiful cats, looking very much alike with Persian cats and being their far relatives, Exotic Shorthairs are their amazing version.

History

In the early 1960s, breeders of American Shorthair trying to strengthen the breed began making outcrosses with Persians. As a result, new kittens were marvellous with  a completely different appearance. It was a shock and a kind of breakthrough between breeders. That’s why, breeders made a decision to work on a new breed and to call it – the Exotic Shorthair.  In 1967 the Exotic Shorthair was officially recognized as a breed.

These Exotic Shorthair cats come in all colors. Truly speaking, the Burmese, British and American Shorthair, even Russian Blues lines were to introduce the short coat. But nowadays, the only one possible and acceptable outcross is with Persian. 

Discription

Exotic Shorthairs are incredible cats with the flat faces of the Persian but a cut and short plush teddy-bear appearance.  Exotic cats are gentle, calm, loving, lively, playful, curious, friendly to other animals, more active then Persians, as a rule, they are called  a “Persian wet tee-shirt contest.”  Exotic cats are perfect mouse hunters. Their coat is very dense, soft and looks like a plush-bear fur. Cats create an impression of heavily boned ones.  A cat looks like a big, fluffy toy with large eyes.

Grooming

You can brush them just once a week, ’cause the rest these cats will make on their own. In general, the breed is healthy.
