Description of Himalayan Cat Breed

The Himalayan breed was formed as a result of the cross of the Persian and Siamese.  This breeding was then followed by breeding the offspring to obtain a breed of cat with long hair and the color point pattern.  Then the color points were bred back to the Persians.

In general Himalayans are not a hyperactive cat.  However, they do like to play when they are active. As with the Persian the Himalayans are a people oriented breed and love their humans.

As with any cat with long hair, the Himalayans require vigorous grooming and maintenance. The Himmy should be groomed regularly.

Pricing on Himalayans usually depends on type, applicable markings and bloodlines.

Typically breeders of all breeds of kittens release their kittens somewhere between twelve and sixteen weeks of age. The reasoning behind keeping a kitten until after twelve weeks is that kittens have had their basic inoculations. This gives them time to develop the physical and social stability needed to make a smooth transition into their new environment.  It is never recommended that a breeder release a kitten before twelve weeks of age as the kittens need this time to develop properly. Releasing a kitten prior to twelve weeks of age is against the law in many states.  It is also recommended that you keep all pedigreed cats and kittens indoors and that they be spayed or neutered.  Cats and kittens of all ages also need suitable surfaces for scratching, such as scratching posts.  Scratching is a natural behavior of the cat breed and declawing a cat is not recommended and is not accepted by the Cat Fanciers Association.
