Himalayan cats are a cross between Persians and Siamese They are known for dark coloration on their ears, feet, body and tail. This dark coloration is called point. This is why Himalayan cats are often described as being a "lilac point" or a "chocolate point." There is also the cream point, blue point, seal point, lilac tor tie point, blue tor tie point, red lynx point, lilac lynx point, blue tor tie lynx point, and finally; the chocolate lynx point.
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. :)

Sassy, the cat in the Homeward Bound movie, was a Himalayan cat.
A Himalayan cat is a very similar cat to a Persian cat. It has long white hair and blue eyes, it has been domesticated and it is a very good household pet.
A Himalayan cat...
Sassy. And that is not a Siamese cat it is a Himalayan cat.
Himalayan.
Himalayan cats are beautiful felines that have long hair and often feature the blue eyes and point coloring of the Siamese cat. They are often called Himalayan Persians or Colorpoint Persians because they are a subgroup of the Persian cat family.
Some interesting qualities of the Himalayan cat are its long fur and 'flat' or pushed-in face. The breed also comes in many points- certain colors. The points are chocolate point, flame point, tortie-cream point, lilac point, blue point, seal point, and much more. It was first 'produced' in the 1950s, when crossing a Siamese cat with a Persian cat.
Individual cat's temperment will vary, but overall himalayans do not have that much of a temper. My Himalayan is such a sweetie!
