The Exotic Shorthair is a breed of domestic cat known for its round face, short muzzle, and plush coat. It is a close relative of the Persian cat but has a shorter, easier-to-maintain coat. This breed typically has a calm and affectionate temperament, making it a popular choice for families and individuals alike. Exotic Shorthairs come in various colors and patterns, including solid, tabby, and bicolor. They are known for their playful nature and enjoy interacting with their owners. Regular grooming is still recommended to keep their coat healthy and to minimize shedding.
