Overview & Traits
The Kashmir cat is not recognized as its own breed, more of a label or a color in that matter. The Kashmir is a name given by the Canadian Cat Association and one U.S.A. organization (Cat Fanciers' Association). These organizations specify the colour possibilities for Kashmirs: lilac and chocolate. Kashmirs are classified as Colorpoint Longhairs in Britain and mostly Himalayan in America.

Breed History
The origins of the Kashmir date back many decades, surrounded by fascinating lore and dedicated breeding programs. Early foundation cats were crossbred to solidify the standard traits we observe today. It quickly gained international recognition by the WCF and other major registries.
Living Needs
When it comes to the living environment, the Kashmir thrives in spaces where it can safely explore, play, and interact with its family. They benefit from vertical spaces like cat trees and regular mental stimulation. A balanced diet and routine veterinary check-ups are essential for their well-being.
