In the 1960s, American shorthair cats< In order to obtain the silver coat and green eyes of Persian cats, breeders of bred their American Shorthair cats with silver Persian cats, but the kittens bred from this pairing had a different appearance. Lacking the characteristics of an American Shorthair, they look more like a shorthaired Persian. However, some breeders have noticed that the kittens produced by this pairing have changed the appearance and coat quality of the American Shorthair, and have distinctive characteristics.

In the early days of exotic shorthair breeding, it was indeed Blue Star's purpose to create a Persian cat in pajamas. These lazy guys like the sweet and gentle nature of Persians, but don't want to spend too much time grooming them, so the Exotic Shorthair was born.

However, something went awry in this seemingly perfect plan, and aside from the neat cropped coat and gentle personality, it seemed that something was messing in.

Lively

Intruder: American Shorthair

In order to get the short coat, breeders had to live in exotic shorthairs. The American Shorthair fund is added to the cat's manufacturing process. But this also brings side effects. In addition to the short coat, the American Shorthair also has its perpetual motion characteristics. This makes Exotics far more lively than their long-haired relatives.

A little chatty

Intruder: Burmese cat

The Burmese cat also has sex with the Exotic Shorthair . At that time, the original intention of the breeders was to let the Exotic Shorthair inherit their stocky body and full head, and the result was really good. But the same tragic thing happened, and the Burmese cat's chattering personality was also inherited by the exotic shorthair cat. Fortunately, their calls are softer.

Unstoppable curiosity

Intruder: Russian cat

Another step in such a messy relationship And Russian Blue. The main purpose of its trouble is to bring the exotic shorthair cat a thick and supple double coat, but with the coat, there is also the unique curiosity of the Russian blue cat.

Therefore, the trick of the Blue Stars to let the Persian cats take off their long coats has completely failed. After taking off the coats and putting on the short shirts, they are no longer Persian cats, but lively, cute, and curious. An exotic shorthair cat with a strong heart and a little chatter.

The Exotic also has a nickname, the Lazy Persian, which means that it is much easier to take care of an Exotic than a Persian. But don't believe it, the Exotic Shorthair really isn't for lazy people at all.

You have to wipe its eyes every day

Exotics also have very short nasolacrimal ducts due to the Persian cat's extremely large flat face , which prevents their tears from being swallowed down the throat, but instead flows directly from the eyes, forming unsightly tear streaks.

You have to brush it every week

Sometimes you have to feed them

Because of the flat face, the table manners of the Exotic Shorthair are also very hurry, They often work hard for a long time to eat a hole in the cat food in the pot, and the part close to the edge of the pot is almost never eaten.
