Care & health
Setup, routines, and health considerations
Care overview
Short coat, but Persian-type head/face—so day-to-day care can include more face/eye-area attention than most shorthairs.
Environment & space
Calm, indoor-controlled environments tend to suit flat-face types; avoid heat-heavy or chaotic setups when possible.
Daily routine
Coat is easy compared to Persian; the more common routine is checking/cleaning the face area as needed for the individual.
Health sensitivities
Flat-face structure can raise baseline considerations; prioritize breeders who are transparent about what they see and how they breed for comfort, not just appearance.

Background
Created to keep Persian-type head and build in a short-coat format. It’s essentially Persian “type” expressed with shorter fur—developed for the look rather than a working role.
Social & behavior
Temperament and interaction style
Personality & activity
Commonly low-key and comfort-oriented—more lounge-and-observe than chase-and-climb.
Handling & social style
Usually does best with calm, predictable contact; many prefer steady petting over energetic grabbing.
