Exotic Shorthair

Exotic Shorthairs are essentially Persians with short coats—same flat face, same sweet temperament, but easier grooming. These teddy-bear-faced cats are calm, affectionate, and more playful than their Persian cousins. They're quiet cats who enjoy lounging and receiving gentle affection. Exotics are known for their patient, sweet nature and adapt well to apartment living.

Exotic Shorthairs need their flat faces cleaned regularly to prevent staining. Keep them cool in hot weather. They're perfect for apartments and quieter homes. While less demanding than Persians in grooming, they still benefit from regular brushing. These cats love routine and can stress with too much change.
