Developed in California in the 1960s, specifically bred for its striking appearance, vivid blue eyes, and exceptionally docile, placid temperament. They get their name from their tendency to go completely limp and relaxed when picked up.

Personality: Known as "puppy cats" for their dog-like devotion. They are extremely affectionate, gentle, and social, often following their owners from room to room and greeting them at the door. They love cuddles and lap time. Grooming: Surprisingly manageable for a long-haired cat. Their semi-long, silky coat lacks a dense undercoat, meaning it is less prone to serious matting, but regular brushing is still necessary. Care: Thrive on companionship and should not be left alone for extended periods. Their trusting nature means they must be kept strictly indoors (they lack "street smarts"). Best for: Families, first-time owners, and anyone seeking a highly interactive and loving companion.
