The Exotic (Shorthair) Cat
Originally created by crossing Persian cats with American or British shorthairs, the Exotic cat (sometimes called the Exotic Shorthair cat) has the look and temperament of a Persian with the shorter, thick, plushy coat of the latter breeds. Like their Persian "cousins", Exotics are medium to large cats with a "cobby type" body - low and wide with a short abdomen. They are also bred in the same extensive variety of coat colors. The temperament of Exotics is generally sweet, gentle and easygoing. They are lap cats and enjoy a life of luxury. They can be playful, but normally not in the high-energy style of Siamese or Abyssinian cats. They are homebodies. Shop
