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.
 Himalayan
Cat Breed Appearance: The Himalayan cat's body
is medium to large, of the "cobby" type, low on the
legs, broad and deep through the chest, equally massive
across the shoulders and rump, and with a sweet "pansy"
face. There appear to be variations among breeders between
flat faced Himalayans and
Doll-Faced Himalayans (Dollface
Himalayans) which are very popular among Himalayan
cat fanciers.
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.
Himalayan Cat
Grooming:
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.

Cat Names: From A to Z - Cats have
very distinctive personalities, and every new kitten deserves

mischief. Those two plus 998 additional names fill this entertaining
and informative little book, written to inspire soon-to-be cat
owners. They'll find names to match not only their kitten's
personality, but also to reflect their own tastes and interests,
all names presented in alphabetical order. And while trying
to decide on that perfect feline name—whether it be Pinocchio
or Picasso, Hercules or Hamlet—cat owners can delight over the
dozens of enchanting, comical, and endearing color photos of
kittens at rest and at play.
