Himalayan
Ideal feline companions for those who want the perfect domestic companion that is affectionate and playful.
Breed Overview
This crossbreed of a Persian and Siamese cat originated in the 1900s after many attempts. These perfect indoor companions are calm, sweet, gentle, and are extremely devoted. They also possess a playful side and enjoy playing fetch and playing with toys or crumpled pieces of paper. They love to be petted and groomed, and are in general, affectionate cats. They are very docile, quite intelligent and independent. They are excellent companions for children and other pets. They are ideal for first-time cat owners, families, and multi-pet households. Good thing they enjoy being groomed, because these fluffy long haired cats require a lot of grooming, such as two to three brushings per week.
