Himalayan Cat Breed Information

Himalayan Cat History:
Some 50 years ago, cat fanciers decided to try to create a cat of
Persian coat and type but with the color pattern of the
Siamese cat. In North America the resulting cats were called
Himalayans, while in Europe they were classified as Colorpoint
Long-hairs. The ideal Himalayan cat is identical to all other
Persian cats in type, the standard being the same except for the
color. The Himalayan cat's eyes are as deep blue as possible.
Recognized point colors in the Himalayan cat include seal (dark
bitter chocolate), chocolate (milk chocolate), blue, lilac, red (or
flamepoint Himalayan),
cream point himalayan, tortie, blue-cream, seal lynx (tabby) and
blue lynx. Some registering associations regard the Himalayan cat as
a separate breed. The largest group, the Cat Fanciers Association,
decided some years ago to register Himalayan cats as
Persian-Himalayans, a division of the Persian breed. The Himalayan
cat breed's gentle, entertaining disposition makes it a popular pet.
Contrary to its "fluffy" appearance, the Himalayan cat has good muscle tone with no evidence of obesity. The Himalayan cat's coat is is defined by the CFA by the following: CFA considers the Himalayan cat as just another color of the Persian cat breed. In TICA, the Himalayan cat is considered a separate breed, but is included in the Persian Cat Breed Group, which also includes Exotic Shorthair cats. The AACE judges the Himalayan cat under its own separate breed standard. With its glorious long-flowing coat and sweet face to match its disposition, it is no wonder the Himalayan cat is the favorite cat among all pedigreed breeds. Himalayan cats require a secure, serene environment, but once they feel safe, they will be a constant source of pleasure to the lucky household that is owned by a Himalayan. The Himalayan cat requires regular maintenance to keep the beauty of that coat, so consider carefully before making what should be a lifetime commitment to this glorious cat.
