Exotic Shorthairs is sometimes called as “the lazy man’s Persian”. Unlike Persians, Exotic Shorthairs have short and plush coats that are easier to take care. It’s a great choice for those who love the Persian’s docile personality but find it hard to take care of its long fur coat. The coats of Exotic Shorthairs come in a variety of colours such as white, cream, black and beige. Since they are lap cats with affectionate personalities, they don’t like to be alone. Calm and loyal, they are friendly to other pets including canines. However, they may take a little time to get comfortable with someone new.
