Rusty belongs to the breed known as “Exotic Shorthair.” It’s an official CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) name for this breed of cats that originated from the Persians by way of a genetic mutation many, many years ago.
One of the distinguishing features of these cats is their broad, flat face and small ears. This is the first time I was able to capture Rusty’s phenomenal facial side view.
Such an interesting profile. Mom loves exotic shorthairs.
Wow, that is flat.
Mol! Adorable!😺
