Selkirk Rex
The Selkirk Rex, English name Selkirk Rex, is one of the newest natural breeds, evolved from domestic cats. First from Wyoming, USA, cross-bred with Persians to develop its traits, it can be crossed with Persians, Exotic Shorthairs, British and American Shorthairs. Free of genetic diseases, it is a very healthy cat distinguished by its fully curly coat—even the whiskers curl.
Chartreux
The Chartreux, also called the Chartreux Blue Cat, has the English name Chartreux. Native to France, its history dates to the 14th century. Together with the British Shorthair Blue and the Russian Blue, it is one of the world's three great blue cats. The Chartreux has a long history, recorded in publications as early as 1558.
Oriental Shorthair
The Oriental Shorthair is a distinct breed, unexpectedly produced by breeders while developing another cat. They wanted a pure-white Siamese, so crossed Siamese with pure-white cats, producing today's Oriental. Though born in 1962, it was recognized as a new breed in 1972. Its appearance is close to the Siamese but differs greatly in coat color.
Somali
The Somali cat looks much like the Abyssinian—slender, slightly rounded, with big V-shaped ears and almond eyes—but with a semi-long, soft, dense coat. Developed in the US and Canada from a spontaneous long-haired mutation of the Abyssinian, the Somali is intelligent, gentle, playful, and water-loving, though its abundant coat needs regular grooming.
Korat
The Korat cat, also called the Korat or Si-Sawat, originates from the Khorat Plateau in northwest Thailand and is an ancient breed. Introduced to the US in 1959 and recognized by American cat lovers in 1965, and by Britain 10 years later. Its coat, like the Russian Blue and Chartreux, is solid blue with no shading or pattern, with a silvery sheen, and it has a unique heart-shaped face.

Nebelung
The Nebelung is essentially a long-haired Russian Blue, a rare variant recognized by TICA in 1987 and hailed as the 'nobility of long-haired breeds.' Apart from its coat, it is identical to the Russian Blue. Quiet, shy, and gentle, yet intelligent and adaptable, it is well suited to calm households.
European Burmese
The European Burmese is an elegant cat, but not a fragile one. It has a well-proportioned build, moderate muscle, and expressive eyes. Because it is very intelligent, affectionate, and loyal, it makes an excellent pet.
Japanese Bobtail
The Japanese Bobtail, also known as the Lucky Cat (Maneki-neko), is very popular in Japan. Cat lovers, upon hearing 'lucky,' want one. It is a native Japanese breed with a history tracing back centuries. Bred in the US after introduction, it is said an American cat lover in Japan found a cat with a short rabbit-like tail and brought several back after WWII; these are the ancestors. The Japanese Bobtail sits with one front paw raised, said to represent good fortune.
