Himalayan
Calm and devoted, Himalayans make excellent companions, though they prefer a quieter home. They are playful in a sedate kind of way and enjoy having an assortment of toys. The Himalayan will stretch out next to you, sleep in your bed and even sit on your lap when she is in the mood.
Breed Characteristics
About Himalayan
The Himalayan, is a breed or sub-breed of long-haired cat similar in type to the Persian, with the exception of its blue eyes and its point colouration, which were derived from crossing the Persian with the Siamese. Some registries may classify the Himalayan as a long-haired sub-breed of Siamese, or a colourpoint sub-breed of Persian. The World Cat Federation has merged them with the Colourpoint Shorthair and Javanese into a single breed, the Colourpoint.
