Hi... yes, they are one and the same. A Himalayan is a Persian cat - with points.
At one time, they were classed and shown as a seperate breed, this is where the confusion can come in.
Though they are still referred to as Himalayans, this actually only signifies the colourpoint pattern.
They are wonderful cats, mellow and very laid- back.. though of course high-maintenance kitties.
Good luck in finding one!
This is my himmy boy Basil, incredibly gentle and sweet natured.
