Cat Breed of the Week: Exotic Shorthair

By , About.com GuideFebruary 28, 2012

Follow me on:

This breed could easily have been called "Shorthair Persian," as it is cousin to that breed. People who love the look and sweet personality of the Persian, but who don't care to be a slave to daily brushing, will find the Exotic a perfect pet. Selectively bred to develop the short plush coat, the exotic in every other way resembles the Persian, including its quiet, affectionate disposition.
