Himalayan cat (definite introduction)
Persian is a widely recognized and quite popular breed. In its early days, hybrid breeding Conditionally, the Himalayan cat appeared (confirmed introduction). The early evolution of the Persian cat (definitely introduced) most likely occurred on the alpine Persian plateau (today's Iran and Iraq). When these cats with silky long hair were brought to Europe by the Phoenicians and Romans, Europeans were fascinated by them. Over the years, Persians have been deliberately grown to maintain and exaggerate their hairy characteristics.
The first step in cultivating a heavy-colored Persian is to cross a Siamese cat with a Persian. Later descendants then produced a group of cats with long hair and heavy heart color patterns through years of breeding. These dark-colored long-haired cats were immediately bred with Persians, and later bred with each other. Over many years breeders have acquired cats with many of the basic Persian characteristics and a heavy heart color. At this point, the next step begins - which is to obtain formal species approval from the filing agency. In the UK, Sterling-Webb spent more than 10 years perfecting his dark-colored long-haired cat. In 1955, he approached the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) and begged them to confess this new variant of the long-haired cat. Because he and other breeders described and justified their work in breeding this new color, their request was accepted and the Longhaired Colourpoint became a separate breed in the UK.
In the following ten years, Himalayan cats rapidly became popular. However, the vast majority of Himalayan cats cannot meet Persian breeding standards. Many breeders no longer regularly use solid-colored Persians for crossbreeding. They used existing light and dark colors for development, so the development of the Himalayan into a Persian-standard breed was slow or even invisible. The Himalayan forms a dark-colored long-haired cat with a long nose. In the 1870s, Himalayan breeders began to reminisce and reflect on what they had been trying to achieve. Clearly, they had a lot to do to start growing a more Persian-like cat. To this end, they began to regularly cross with Persia to keep the best descendants for breeding. After a while, heavy-colored long-haired cats that looked more like Persians began to appear in cat shows. These cats looked more like Persians and thus competed with them for the grand prize at the end.
