Felis catus
✨ Fait Amusant
Exotic Shorthairs were created by crossing Persians with American Shorthairs to get the Persian look in a short-haired coat — the result was nicknamed the 'Teddy Bear cat.'
Essentially a shorthaired Persian — same round face, cobby body, and sweet temperament, but with a dense, plush, easy-care short coat. Known as the 'lazy man's Persian.' Playful and gentle, with a quiet, loving nature.
