HISTORY AND BACKGROUND



The birth of Exotic Shorthair began in earnest in the late 1950s, when American cat breeder Carolyn Bussey hooked up Persians with brown Burmese, in the hope of seducing a brown Persian. He ends up with a black kitten, but he manages to find an endless discovery that the resulting kitten is so cute. He believes that cat lover may like the shorter-haired Persian idea, which would be more easily done by the bridegroom, but it still has the same beauty and Persian nature.

While American Shorthair is crossed with the Persians to produce a better coat and to re-create Shorthair's appearance, Shorthair breed alone loses most of the qualities that make it proliferate.

These cat breeders make their paper fail so it looks as though these new physical characteristics happen naturally, and the cat association has no choice but for all but to end Shorthair's registration.
