Exotic Short Hair

The Exotic Shorthair cat breed is a mid-century masterpiece, developed in the 1950s to be a shorthaired version of the Persian cat. Persian breeders crossed their prize-winning kitties with American Shorthairs and boom the Exotic Shorthair cat breed was born! 

My oh my, what big eyes you have! 
The Exotic Shorthair cat’s expressive and large eyes with large, round heads, small, wide set ears and a smooshed short nose make their gorgeous appearance even more pronounced. A compact body and short thick legs complete the Exotic Shorthair cat’s adorable get-up. 

The Exotic Shorthair cat breed has the calm and friendly attitude of its Persian ancestors but is known to be a little more playful and active - perfect for young families and the young at heart. 

Keep your Exotic Shorthair comfortable with plenty of catnap locations and spots for sunshine snoozing. Indulge their placidly playful nature with a range of stimulating toys and you’ll be rewarded with the cutest head bumps and smooches. 

The Exotic Shorthair cat breed is easier to care for than its longhaired Persian ancestors. Its dense short coat just needs a weekly brush. Due to their adorable flat face, your Exotic Shorthair cat will need tear stain maintenance - a quick wipe with a clean damp cloth every few days will keep them feeling and looking fresh.
