THE EXOTIC SHORTHAIR

These distinctive cats with their solid body, short bushy tail, round face, snub nose and large, round golden eyes were first bred in America in the 1960s. A program of selective breeding was developed to produce a cat that looked like a Persian but had a manageable coat that didn't need constant brushing and attention. American breeders crossed a Persian with an American Shorthair to develop a sturdy cat with a dense fluffy coat, who was playful and alert with a calm and affectionate personality. Altogether there are about forty varieties of exotic shorthairs in all coat colours and patterns.'
