The Exotic Shorthair is a cross between a Persian, a longhaired docile cat, and an American Shorthair, a shorthaired semi-active cat.
Exotics have short, plush coats that are thick and dense. Like Persians, Exotics have chunky bodies with thick, short legs and neck. They have large heads on short necks. Their eyes are small and rounded and their cheeks are full. Some Exotics have flat, pushed-in faces. Exotics come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Exotics have short, bushy tails, which rarely curls. Their eyes are large and gold.
The Exotic Shorthair is a gentle, playful cat. It is great as an indoor cat since it has a docile nature and is often described as less destructive thanm many Shorthairs!
