Meet Mochi, our fictional Exotic Shorthair star. Illustrative sample cover; your cover is painted from your own pet’s photo.
The details that make them yours
Their face. Their name. Your favorite character.
The round cheeks get your attention. The expression makes it your cat. Whether your Exotic has a pale coat, dark patches or a tiny off-center marking, a clear photo gives those details a chance to carry into their storybook character. It is that familiar look you are coming to see.
The story behind this cover
Goodnight, Mochi
The gentle trip from the evening garden to a cozy bed makes this a soothing first story. Choose it when you want a short read-aloud and a familiar face on every illustrated page. The pleasure is in the quiet repetition and your own cat at its center.
The sun goes down, the flowers close, and your pet says goodnight to each of them, all the way from the garden to the blanket. A calm goodnight rhythm made to be read at bedtime, with your own animal at the center of every picture.
The book page shows other sample pets. Yours will star in your copy.
Existing interior sample with a different pet. Same story; your pet becomes the hero.
A gift with their name all over it
For the person who sends you that face every day.
You already know which cat will be in their next message. Give that much-photographed companion a different kind of close-up: a place on the cover of a personalized hardcover. It is an Exotic Shorthair gift that celebrates the particular pet behind the breed they love.
A quiet bedtime story works beautifully for a young child who recognizes the family cat. An adult can enjoy it as a keepsake, with a dedication that explains the thought behind the gift. Choose a favorite clear photo and the name everyone at home actually says.

How to choose your Exotic Shorthair’s photo
01
Let the short coat show
Include the shoulders or chest so the reference shows your Exotic's plush short coat as well as the face. A very tight headshot can hide the outline. Keep blankets and large accessories away from the features you want reflected.
02
Use a level view of the eyes
Photograph at the cat's eye level in gentle light. A steep overhead angle can change how the cheeks and muzzle look. Pick a sharp image where both eyes can be distinguished clearly from the surrounding fur.
03
Keep the actual coloring
Choose an image without a color filter or strong orange indoor light. If your Exotic has patches around the eyes or nose, check that they are visible. Your individual photograph is more useful than a description of the breed alone.
Before you make their book
Your Exotic Shorthair book questions
Will the sample keep the Exotic Shorthair's short coat?
The sample is painted as a short-coated Exotic, and your own cat's photo guides your personalized artwork. Choose an image with the chest and shoulders visible so the coat length and rounded outline are easy to read.
Is this different from the Persian cat sample?
Yes. The breed collection includes a separate Persian example with a long coat. Both promote existing personalized stories, but the fictional sample animals differ. Your own book begins with your pet's photo, whichever page you used to find it.
