About the Breed

Exotic Shorthair cats are often referred to as the “lazy man’s Persian” because they share the same adorable appearance as their long-haired cousins, the Persian cats, but with a coat that requires less grooming. They have a sweet and gentle temperament, making them affectionate and loving companions. Exotics are known for being calm, easygoing, and adaptable cats that get along well with children, other pets, and different living environments. They enjoy cuddling and attention but are not overly demanding. Exotic Shorthairs have a playful side, though they may not be as active or energetic as some other cat breeds. They are content to lounge around the house and enjoy relaxing in comfort.
