Exotic Shorthair
The Plush Little Introvert Who Has Mastered Relaxation
Overview
Round-faced, soft-coated, and permanently unimpressed-looking, the Exotic Shorthair is often described as the “lazy person’s Persian”, but emotionally, they’re something much sweeter than that. They combine calm affection with a wonderfully low-drama personality that makes them incredibly easy to live with.
They don’t rush through life.
They specialise in comfort, naps, and quietly keeping you company.
