Himalayan cat
Blue-eyed longhair breed
A Himalayan cat is a breed with the long, luxurious coat of a Persian and the pointed coloring of a Siamese—pale body with darker face, ears, paws, and tail.
The breed originated from crossing these two cats.
Some registries classify Himalayans as a color variety of Persian rather than a separate breed.
