Exotic

The Exotic has the body and head type of the Persian, but has a short, plush coat. The breed was developed by crossing Persians and various shorthaired breeds such as American Shorthairs, Burmese, British Shorthairs, and Russian Blues. Exotics are available in the same rainbow of colours and patterns as the Persian breed. Like the Persian, the Exotic is a docile, gentle cat with a soft voice. They are sweet-tempered pets who enjoy sitting on laps and the refined comforts of home. The Exotic Shorthair is sometimes called the "lazy man's Persian", as it has the same body and head type, but without the daily grooming requirements. Exotic is accepted in all major cat registries in its shorthaired variety. AACE, ACA, ACFA, and CFF also recognize the Exotic Longhair.
