The red tabby exotic shorthair cat is the prototype of Garfield cat, a branch of Persian cat, originating from the United States. Around 1960, American breeding experts crossed American short-haired cats with Persian cats in an attempt to improve the coat color of American cats and increase their weight. Thus, the exotic short-haired cat nicknamed Garfield was born. ​​​​​​

Red tabby exotic shorthair cats are specially bred for those who like Persian cats but are too lazy to take care of their long hair. This fluffy, energetic pet cat is very common in the United States and is becoming increasingly popular in Europe. Red tabby exotic shorthair cats are easy to get along with and have a quiet personality, but they don’t like to be alone, so they are relatively simple to raise.
