Talk:Exotic Shorthair

Hearing Loss?

The first statement purports that they have been known to cause hearing loss in owners...yet further down it states that they seldom meow. Without making noise, how can they possibly cause hearing loss? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.130.165.244 (talk) 11:40, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In this context, should persian be lowercase? Tuf-Kat

If 50% of a litter is likely to have a different coat than is desired, doesn't that mean that the "breed" doesn't breed true (all offsprings have the same characteristics)? And if it doesn't breed true, that would mean that it isn't a fully developed breed. [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 15:23, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

just plain wrong

the 50% statement is an error. Exotics breed true and have been accepted for showing in the US for quite a while. THey are far from the original cross. Pschemp 14:11, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the correct info, I was wondering about that. [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 14:26, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Breeding True

Unless a homozygous shorthair is bred to a homozygous shorthair, there is an even greater possibility than 50% of having longhair kittens in a litter. Sometimes all of the kittens can be longhair. --Stacyrp 15:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)stacyrp[reply]

And most exotics now bred are homozygous shorthair. In fact, longhairs are not allowed into the breed as outcrosses anymore. pschemp | talk 03:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on the Association

In The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA), longhairs and Persians are acceptable outcrosses. In The International Cat Association (TICA) they are not. I don't know about smaller US and foreign associations. No matter the quality of the breeding stock, one always has to go back to the Persian to preserve type.

Garfield not an Exotic

I have removed Garfield from the section of film appearance(s) because Garfield is computer animated in the movie, and his breed has never been specified. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Trader’s Gamble

Rajan was a seasoned trader in the bustling markets of Mumbai. He had spent years mastering the art of reading trends, analyzing stocks, and making quick decisions. His success wasn’t built on luck but on discipline and knowledge. Yet, one fateful day, he faced a decision that could change his life forever.

For weeks, rumors had swirled about a new technology company, Zentech, preparing for an IPO. Analysts were divided—some called it the next big thing, while others warned it was overhyped. Rajan had a choice: go all in or play it safe.

His instincts told him Zentech had potential. He studied the company, its leadership, and its innovations. The numbers looked promising, but there was one problem—he had to sell a major part of his portfolio to afford the investment. It was a risky move, one that could either make him a fortune or leave him in ruins.

The night before the IPO, Rajan barely slept. His mind raced with possibilities. When the market opened, he took a deep breath and placed the order—buying as many shares as he could.

The first few hours were nerve-wracking. The stock price fluctuated wildly, dropping at first before slowly rising. Then, an unexpected announcement: a major investor had bought a significant stake in Zentech. The market reacted instantly. The stock price soared.

Rajan watched in disbelief as his investment doubled in value within hours. His gamble had paid off. He sold a portion of his shares, securing a life-changing profit.

That day, Rajan learned a crucial lesson—not all risks are reckless. Sometimes, the greatest rewards come from trusting your knowledge and making bold moves.

As he walked out of the market that evening, he knew one thing for sure—he was born to be a trader. Jahedulalam.eth (talk) 17:17, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
