When the breeding plan was first carried out, the Exotic Shorthair cats were still very thin, and Persian cat breeders were worried that purebred Persian cats would be hybridized. Some breeders even strongly criticized it for "damaging purebred cats", so mating was banned in 1968. Of course, some people still worked hard secretly, and finally found that the shape gradually took shape when mating with American Shorthair cats. It was not until the 1980s that the Exotic Shorthair cat breed was officially established and recognized by the Cat Association. In 1966, it was recognized as a new breed by CFA.
