The development of the Himalayan breed was from cross breeding Persian and Siamese cats to obtain a Persian with a Siamese coloring. Years of breeding were necessary to achieve these results.The Cat Fanciers' Association. Inc: Himalayan Cat Division

The breeding of the Himalayn began in 1930 by Harvard Medical School doctor Clyde Keller and Virginia Cobb. The point was not to begin a new breed but to study cat genetics. The first successful Himalayan was named Newton's Debutante. By 1957, the breed was accepted by The Cat Fanciers' Association. In the 1980s, the breed became a subgroup of the Persian breed.TheCatSite.com: Himalayan Cat Profile Cats & Kittens Magazine: The Himalayan Cat: Pinnacle of Success
