The Exotic Shorthair appeared in the USA in the 1950s–60s from crossing Persians with American Shorthairs and is often called “a Persian in pyjamas”. Exotics share the calm, affectionate nature of the Persian but are a little more playful and become very attached to their people. The dense, plush coat needs brushing once or twice a week and the eyes regular care; the breed is great for flats and for anyone who loves the Persian look without daily grooming.
