Egyptian Mau From the land of the cat goddess Bast -- ancient Egypt -- came the original stock of this exceptional cat breed, one of the oldest in the world, and the only "naturally-spotted" domestic cat. While spots have been achieved on the coats of other cat types by selective breeding, the Mau proudly wears its direct lineage back to its African wildcat ancestors. Inside, however, lurks not the heart and soul of a predator, but of a sweetheart, a great family cat. They come in colors such as bronze spotted, silver spotted, and black smoke. Exotic Shorthair This breed was developed by crossing Persians with various types of shorthairs, including the American, but it definitely retains much of its Persian lineage The Exotic Shorthair has the body and head type of the Persian, but has a short plush coat. The breed was developed by crossing Persians and various shorthaired breeds such as American Shorthairs, Burmese, British Shorthairs, and Russian Blues. Exotics are available in the same rainbow of colors and patterns as the Persian breed. Temperamentally, they are also very similar to Persians, quiet, calm and unassuming, but still very affectionate. |
