Himalayan

Persian coat care with Siamese colouring; daily grooming applies. Short play sessions and comfortable places to rest can suit a quieter routine. The long coat also makes grooming a regular part of the routine. The published 7–12 lb adult range is a starting point; your pet's measured weight is what matters for choosing food and gear.
