Origin of the variety
The Himalayan cat is a cat native to the United Kingdom and North America. It appeared in 1924 as a hybrid of Siamese and Persian cats.

The Himalayan cat has short, fat and straight limbs, a short body, a deep chest, a strong dome-like head, rounded cheeks and jaw, small ears and short nose, and large round eyes, which are almost all similar to Persian cats. The eyes are blue, and the bluer the better. Its coat is long and soft, with dark spots, and the contrast between the shades of the spots is obvious and eye-catching, there are 7 kinds of seal spots, chocolate points, blue dots, clove dots, orange dots, tortoiseshell dots and blue cream dots, which are very ornamental, and these color spots are distributed in the legs, feet, tail, ears and face of cats.
Personality traits
Himalayan cats are very famous among cats "mixed race", and it is said that Himalayan cats have persian, Siamese and Berman cat pedigrees. So the Himalayan cat blends the quiet elegance of the Persian cat, the noble handsomeness of the Siamese cat, and the gentleness and cleverness of the Berman cat, which is a cat species that is very suitable for family breeding.
Living environment
Most Himalayan cats are usually lazy and don't see them wandering around and jumping up and down at home. It especially likes to lie next to you when the owner is quiet, but when you take out the cat stick and want to play with them, it suddenly becomes very active. Perhaps it is this characteristic of being both mobile and static that makes many people feel that feeding a Himalayan cat can not only have a noble side, but also an interesting side.
