Also known as the Colourpoint or Himalayan Persian, the Himalayan cat is a cross between a Persian and a Siamese. The Himalayan cat tends to have a rounder body, shorter legs, and mostly white or cream fur. Kinds of Himayalan cats can be differentiated by coat: blue point, lilac point, seal point, chocolate point, red point, and cream point. In terms of its head, it will either have a doll face or squashed-looking face (known as peke-faced). Typically holding a sweet disposition, the Himalayan cat enjoys being coddled and played with but can become agitated or moody.
The typical Himalayan Cat has an overall height of 10”-12” (25-30 cm) and body length of 17”-19” (43-48 cm). An average Himalayan weighs between 7-12 lb (3.2-5.4 kg) and has a typical lifespan of 9-15 years.
