The
Exotic Shorthair is a docile, gentle cat with a soft
voice. They are sweet-tempered pets
who enjoy sitting on laps and the refined comforts of home. The Exotic is sometimes
called the "
lazy man's Persian", as it has the same body and head type,
but without the daily grooming requirements.

Exotic
Shorthair Cat History
Breeders
crossed the American Shorthair with the Persian
in the United
States around 1960.
From
the beginning, the standard for the Exotic
was written with the goal of creating a Persian
with a shorter, more care-free coat. Early
breeders outcrossed to shorthairs to get
the shorthair gene and then continued to
take those cats back to Persians to get closer
to the Persian standard. As the Persian standard
evolved, so did the standard of the Exotic.
As Persians became more "typy," so
did the Exotic. As the breed became more
popular, more and more Persian breeders were
willing to allow their lines to be used in
Exotic breeding programs and even began breeding
Exotics themselves.
During
the breeding program, crosses were also made
with the Russian Blue and the
Burmese. Sufficient
outcrosses were being introduced from
these breedings to catch the attention
of Jane
Martinke. She noticed that changes
were gradually taking place in the American
Shorthair type
and coat texture. Jane, with her vision
and foresight, saw both the harm that
could
be
done to the American Shorthair breed
through the continuation of these outcrosses,
and
also the possibilities presented by
this adorable cat. In 1966, she proposed
to
the CFA Board of Directors the creation
of a
new breed. Thus were born shorthaired
Persians, called Exotic Shorthairs and recognized
by the C.F.A
in 1966. The F.I.Fe. recognized
the Exotic Shorthair in 1986. Since 1987,
the only allowable outcross breed is the
Persian.
The
Exotic Shorthair
has nearly the same body as the Persian,
but
a thick,
dense short coat. They appeal
to people who like the personality of a Persian
but
do
not want the hassle of grooming a long-haired
cat.
They are also known as "The Lazy
Man's Persian".
