Persian vs Himalayan Cat: What’s the Difference?

Persian and Himalayan cats have a somewhat similar appearance. This is because they’re quite closely related. In fact, the Himalayan cat was created in the United States in the 1930s by specialized breeding of Persian cats to create a Persian cat with colored points. The Himalayan wasn’t recognized until the 1950s when it became its own breed.

Today, some registries consider Himalayans to be a pointed Persian, part of the Persian class. In Britain, the Himalayan is called the Colorpoint Longhair.
But aside from the colored points, are there any differences between these two breeds? Is one preferable to the other? Let’s take a closer look at each of these specific breeds to see where the differences lie.
