Summary
About Exotic Shorthair
The Exotic Shorthair is a medium to large, cobby indoor cat with a sweet, Persian‑like face and dense, plush short coat. Calm, gentle and affectionate, it enjoys laps, quiet companionship and moderate play. It suits stable homes, adapts well to apartments, and needs regular but manageable grooming.
About Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
