The exotic shorthair cat is a Persian feline with a different coat. This breed is born by crossing Persians with American Shorthairs. Later, crossed with other shorthaired breeds such as the Burmese and the Russian Blue. Now, they have their own legacy.
These cats have the same characteristics as a Persian cat but wrapped in a short, plush, easy-care coat. They are sweet but quiet in nature and love to play on their own when they are not petted. Exotics are very soft spoken and little heard, but when they do speak it is in a soft, pleasant and musical voice.
