Hutchinsonian

The Hutchinsonian is a breed of domestic cat that originated in the United States. It is a relatively new breed, having been developed in the 1980s by crossing the American Shorthair with the Siamese. The breed is named after its developer, Dr. Robert Hutchinson, who was a veterinarian and animal behaviorist.

Hutchinsonians are known for their distinctive appearance, which includes a short, dense coat that is typically blue-gray or silver-gray in color. They have large, round eyes, a broad head, and a muscular body. The breed is also known for its friendly and outgoing personality, as well as its intelligence and adaptability.

Hutchinsonians are generally healthy cats, with a lifespan of 12 to 15 years. They are known to be good with children and other pets, and they are relatively easy to train. However, like all cats, they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy.

The Hutchinsonian is recognized by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) and the International Cat Association (TICA). It is not recognized by the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) or the World Cat Congress (WCC). The breed is still relatively rare, but its popularity is growing as more people become aware of its unique appearance and personality.
