Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Colourpoint Persian
A blue-eyed, long-haired lap cat that needs daily grooming
The Himalayan combines the long, dense coat and flat face of the Persian with the pointed colour pattern of a Siamese. It is calm, quiet and sweet-natured, and its coat needs careful daily attention.
