Exotic Shorthair

History 


The late 50's the American Shorthair cat breeders (ASH) began secretly wed the silver Persian cat race with the ASH. Marriage with the aim to enrich the genetic, improve body shape and type as well as producing silver color.
The result of the marriage of American Shorthair cats with the characteristics of persia. Head more rounded and wide, over a snub nose, ears smaller, more compact body and wide, hair softer, thicker and longer than ASH. Appearances are very beautiful hybrid race, but does not show the actual characteristics of ASH.
In 1966, Jane Martinke, a jury CFA (Cat Fanciersâ € ™ Association) and also a breeder ASH, filed a racial mixture of Persian-ASH as a new race.
In the first race of the invite much debate and rejection. The persian breeder persian cat refused to sell them to fans of exotic. Enthusiasts exotic genes to survive and begin to strengthen the short hairs with their cats mated with race Burmese, Russian Blue and British Shorthair.
After a short fur dominant genes strong and stable, the breeder mated again with the Persians to get the shape of the body and head of persia. 1987 Exotic Shorthair CFA allows only married to the Persian race. Exotic Shorthair slowly started to become popular. Persian and Exotic Shorthair has the same standards, except in the case of long feathers.

Characteristic Exotic Shorthair has a calm and graceful nature of persia, but more agile and active when compared with regular Persian. Always wanted to know and play and rarely meows. This race includes an independent cat, but would rather be around their owners. Cat care is easier than long-haired Persian who had to be combed every day. Exotic Shorthair therefore often referred to as â € œPersian for Lazy Peopleâ €??.
Physically, the shape of the body and head of the Exotic Shorthair, Persian identical. Colors and patterns of color and eye color Juma same as those found on the Persian race. Satndar used in the same contest. The only difference is only on the length of hair.
