Introduction

The Exotic Shorthair cat, often referred to as the "lazy man's Persian," boasts a plush, short coat, perfect for those who adore the Persian breed but seek less grooming commitment. Possessing a calm and affectionate temperament, Exotics are known to be friendly, easygoing, and enjoy lounging as much as playful engagement. Their medium-sized, sturdy build and round, expressive faces with wide-set eyes captivate hearts, making them a delightful companion for all types of families.
