About the Exotic
The Exotic Shorthair is essentially a shorthaired Persian — the same sweet, quiet, docile temperament and flat-faced round appearance, but with a plush, easy-to-groom coat. Often called 'the lazy man's Persian,' Exotics are calm, affectionate, and playful in gentle bursts, making excellent apartment companions.
