 She
is a Flame Point Himalayan who is about 2 years old. She had her
first litter back September. They are about 3 weeks old. Instead
of being Himalayan , she was breed with Rebel our Bengal. We are
in hopes of some day starting a new breed for TICA. We know it
might be 10 or more years but it will be worth it. Pictures are

The Himalayan cat is not a breed in itself, but
is actually a division of the Persian Cat, Identified as the
color point. To create this color division, a cross breed was
made of the Siamese and the Persian. though it has taken lots of
work by dedicated Himalayan breeders to the cat to the standard
it is today.
In the beginning of the breed it was difficult to get the
Himalayan perfectly to the CFA standard of the Persian cat. Once
the color point pattern was standardized, breeders also had to
perfect the body and head type of the Persian. This is why as
you research Himalayans, you'll see the doll face variety
referred to as Traditional Doll Face Himalayan. The original
Himalayan simply weren't reaching the Persian standard. May
people simply prefer the doll face, either of looks or because
they believe them to be healthier than the snub nose.
