Himalayan cats are a cross between a Persian and a Siamese. They do not come from the Himalayans but rather were named "Himalayan" because of their coloring that is the same as that of the Himalayan rabbits.

Himalayan cats are highly domesticated and are not known for being particularly predatory. However, like all cats, most Himalayan cats will hunt birds, rodents, and small reptiles if given the chance to do so.

No, they are a mix of Persian cats and Siamese cats, but they're not from the Himilayas. :)
