Indoor homes wanting a calm, affectionate cat that follows people quietly from room to room.

Care

Comb twice a week. Ask about HCM testing, and keep it indoors — it will not defend itself.

History of the breed

Ann Baker of Riverside, California began the breed in the 1960s from a white domestic cat named Josephine. Baker made extravagant claims about the cats' origins and ran the breed through a franchise scheme, which is why other breeders eventually broke away.
