The head seems round when viewed from the front of the cat. This impression is not true, since its width is less than the length. The chin is quite pronounced and not massive.

The ears are large, wide. Their shape is a regular triangle, which is slightly rounded at the end. The eyes are oval. Eye color matches color. The coat adheres tightly to the cat's body, it looks silky, and the undercoat is absent. Color can be of different options.
