10 Adorable Things Exotic Shorthair Cats & Kittens Do That Melt Hearts

Exotic Shorthair kittens are often called the “teddy bears” of the cat world—and for good reason! With their sweet faces, squishy cheeks, and calm personalities, these kittens have a way of capturing hearts instantly. If you’ve ever spent time with an Exotic Shorthair, you know just how lovable (and hilarious) they can be. Here are 10 of the cutest things they do that will make you fall in love with them even more.

1. Their Squishy Faces and Wide-Eyed Stares

There’s something irresistible about the round faces and big, soulful eyes of an Exotic Shorthair. One look, and you’re hooked. They have a way of gazing at you that makes you feel like you’re the most important person in their world.

2. Kitten Purr Motors

When an Exotic Shorthair starts purring, it’s like having a tiny engine running in your lap. Their happy, steady purrs are the perfect soundtrack for relaxation—and they often start purring as soon as you look at them.

Sound ON!!! Turn it up. Purrrrs!

3. Funny Sleeping Positions

Whiskers twitching, sunbeam naps — head optional!

Exotic Shorthairs are champion nappers. You’ll often find them sprawled on their backs, curled into tiny balls, or sleeping in positions that make you wonder, “Is that even comfortable?”

4. Gentle Head Bumps

These kittens are affectionate without being overly demanding. A gentle head bump (or “boop”) is their way of saying, “I love you.” It’s the sweetest thing.

5. Their Quiet, Sweet Meows

Unlike some breeds, Exotic Shorthairs have soft, almost whisper-like voices. Their tiny, polite meows are just enough to melt your heart—and convince you to give them another treat.

6. Zoomies in Slow Motion

Exotic Shorthairs are playful, but not hyperactive. Their “zoomies” are often more like graceful hops and slow-motion sprints across the room. It’s pure comedy.

7. Following You Around the House

Exotics are little shadows. Whether you’re folding laundry, cooking, or relaxing on the couch, your Exotic Shorthair will likely be nearby, watching and waiting for a chance to snuggle.

8. Their Tiny “Helping” Skills

They love to “help” with everyday tasks—like sitting on your keyboard or inspecting your grocery bags. Whatever you’re doing, they’ll find a way to be involved.

Thank you Lucy for your help! NOT!!

9. Kitten Playtime Antics

Whether it’s chasing a feather wand or pouncing on a crinkly ball, Exotics play with a mix of determination and cuteness that will keep you laughing for hours.

10. The Way They Melt in Your Arms

Exotic kittens are known for being calm and easygoing. When you pick them up, they often relax completely, like a soft, squishy stuffed animal. It’s impossible not to fall in love.
