Himalayan cats combine the best traits of both Persian and Siamese breeds. They have the Persian’s luxurious long coat and gentle temperament, and the Siamese’s striking color points and expressive blue eyes. Himalayans are known for their affectionate and sweet nature, making them wonderful companions and lap cats.
They are calm, laid-back, and generally not as vocal as Siamese cats, but they can still be quite expressive with their eyes and body language. Himalayans are social cats that enjoy being around their human family members and can be good with children and other pets if properly introduced.
