Which cat breed is right for you?
The Himalayan — known as the Colourpoint Persian in Europe — was developed in the 1930s–1950s by crossing Siamese with Persians to combine the Persian's luxurious coat with Siamese point coloring. This medium-to-large breed weighs 7–14 pounds and has the Persian's flat face, round body, and short legs. Their long, thick, flowing coat comes in all point colors — seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, cream, and tortoiseshell — contrasted against a pale cream or white body.
Himalayans are calm, sweet, and devoted cats that enjoy a serene environment and gentle handling. They are more playful than Persians — thanks to their Siamese heritage — and may enjoy short bursts of activity with a favorite toy. They are patient with well-behaved children and prefer a quiet household, bonding closely with their family while remaining friendly with gentle visitors.

The Sphynx originated in Toronto, Canada, in 1966 when a domestic cat gave birth to a hairless kitten due to a natural genetic mutation. Through careful breeding with Devon Rex and other cats, the Sphynx was established as a robust breed. Weighing 6–12 pounds, this medium-sized cat is famous for its apparent hairlessness — though most Sphynx have a fine layer of peach-fuzz that gives their skin a warm, suede-like texture. Their wrinkled skin, lemon-shaped eyes, enormous ears, and pot belly give them an unmistakable extraterrestrial appearance.
Sphynx cats are extroverted clowns that crave human attention and warmth — literally, as they seek out body heat and will burrow under blankets or curl up on any available lap. They are fearless, social, and endlessly entertaining, performing acrobatic feats and greeting everyone — including strangers — with enthusiasm. They do wonderfully with children, dogs, and other cats.
