[header] How to identify an exotic shorthair cat [title] Look for a short, plush coat. [step] The fur on an exotic shorthair cat is thick and dense like its relative the persian. However, unlike the persian, the fur is plush and short.
Unlike the persian, though, the fluffy coat isn't smooth and voluminous. [substeps] If the fur on the cat is thick and dense, the cat is likely overweight or obese, which can cause unwanted weight gain on your exotic shorthair cat. The fur will lay flat and hidden in patches, but the coats will be fluffy and lean. [substeps] The shedding has a distinct and mysterious look to it. It almost gives the cat the general appearance of having the coat of a teddy bear. [substeps] This coat makes the exotic shorthair much more easy to keep groomed than a persian. In comparison, the persian dachshund should get a short coat because with that long coat, you can easily tell if it is an exotic shorthair by looking at its short hair. [substeps] Not all exotic shorthair cats have long hair, which is why the fur on an exotic shorthair can be very short.
