The detail
One of the oldest pedigree breeds, bred over generations for a long, full coat and a round, flat face. The result is a quiet, gentle house cat that needs daily grooming and a buyer who asks hard health questions.
What to weigh
Daily combing is not optional, and the flat face can bring breathing trouble, tear staining and dental crowding. Polycystic kidney disease is common in the breed without testing.
