Hai my beloved friends. Today I will tell you about the laziest cat in the world..
you know what is that?
That is Exotic Shorthair..


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.
Exotic Shorthair cats are a cross between an American or British short hair and a Persian.  They have the body conformation of a Persian but with short plush fur, giving them the appearance of living teddy bears.
Originally created in the early 1960's, they were formally recognized by the CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) in 1967.
Shorthair exotic kittens tend to have a gentle and affectionate personality and are quite intelligent.
The Exotic is sometimes referred to as the "lazy man's Persian," Shorthair Persian or Exotic Persian, as it has the same body and head type as a Persian, but due to its shorter fur it does not require the frequent brushing that a Persian does.
Occasionally Exotic Shorthair will produce longhaired kittens as well.  These Exotic Longhair (ELH) are physically identical to a Persian, but have the sweeter, more playful personality of the Exotic.
Exotic Shorthairs come in all colors and patterns.  Their dense coat is plush, and stands out from the body.  The Exotic head is similar to that of the Persian, and has similar problems.  Some of the Persian's flows, such as overflowing tear ducts, constricted nostrils, and dental problems, have unfortuanately, also been inherited by this breed.  The British standard is attempting to correct these problems by requiring that the upper edge of the nose leather be below the lower edge of the eye.  The eyes are large and round, and the head is round and massive with full cheeks.  The body is medium to large and cobby, and is carried low on the cat's legs.  The tail is somewhat short, and the paws are large, rounded, and firm. 
I will give you their very cute photos ^^



 Thanks friends. This is my final post.. good bye ..^^
