SEALPOINT HIMALAYAN
Real glamor cats, the himalayans
combine the luxurious sophistication of the Persian family with
the poise, good looks and markings of the Siamese. Like the Siamese
the himalayan invariably has bright, sapphire-blue eyes and a face
mask, ears, legs, feet and tail (the 'points') that are a different
color than the rest of the body.
HISTORY
Experimental breeding programs in
Sweden and the US during the 1920's produced the first Himalayans,
but it was not until the late 1940's after a succession of carefully
planned crossbreedings bewtween Persians and Siamese, that the modern
cat finally emerged.
Himalayans are a subdivision of
the Persian breed, whereas a few decades ago, in the CFA, they were
presented as a separate breed.
TEMPERAMENT
To their owners, Himalayans combine
the best of the two worlds: they have the gentle nature of the Persian,
and the spirited, conversational nature of the Siamese. They are
wonderful companions!
Himalayans come in MANY color varieties,
such as sealpoint, bluepoint, chocolate point, creampoint, flamepoint
to name a few. Crossing in tabby has also produced lynx-points in
as many colors.

Quote from "The Rules for Cats,"
by Fancy Mews
If grains of litter are clinging to your toes or tail, take care
to scatter them in a confetti-like arc behind you as you make your
exit. From time to time, bolt from your litter box as if shot from
a cannon.
Paper shredding is but one of your many important responsibilities.
Relieve your person of the stress of living on the information age
by searching out and destroying letters, the newspaper, and important
recipes.
Few people are capable of filling in the entire Sunday crossword.
Help the puzzle-solver by lying across the difficult part.
