Exotic Shorthair




The Exotic Shorthair is the perfect cat for people who love the look and personality of the Persian cat but without the daily grooming. It is often referred to as the “Lazy Mans Persian”. That’s not to say that it never needs grooming and they love to sit on there owners lap and be brushed regularly, but it doesn’t matter if it’s not done every day.

The easiest way to describe an Exotic is to say it is a "shorthaired Persian"; the Exotic must conform to the Persian breed standard in every way except coat length. They have a round cobby body, short thick legs and round massive head, a flat face, short snub nose with large open nostrils and huge round eyes set wide apart. The difference is that the coat on an Exotic should be very soft and dense and stand away from the body due to its thickness.
