Himalayan

The Himalayan is a breed of cat with extremely long, fluffy fur, and the points of a Siamese. They were bred from Siamese (for the markings) and Persians (for coat-length and temperament), and share characteristics of both breeds. Himalayans are now considered the same breed for cat registries (CFA), (TICA) as the modern Persian show cat since they have the exact same conformation with a pointed coat. They are sweet-tempered, intelligent and good companions. Their coat needs a lot of attention and grooming, because, like many longhaired cats, they have an abundance of fur.
