Cymric
The Cymric, English name Cymric, is also called the Longhaired Manx or Longhaired Isle of Man cat. From its alias we know it is a longhaired cat; though long-haired, it's not hard to groom. Its most striking feature is having no tail, drawing immediate attention.
Turkish Angora
The Turkish Angora, named for Turkey's capital Ankara, is one of the oldest long-haired breeds, dating to the 16th century. Elegant with silky, medium-length coat and almond eyes, it is agile, independent, and famously fond of water. Once nearly supplanted by the Persian, it was revived in the US from 1963 and is now carefully bred to preserve its pure bloodline.
Himalayan、Colourpoint Persians
The Persian is a widely known and popular breed; from its early crossbreeding emerged the Himalayan cat. The Persian's early evolution likely occurred on the cold Persian Plateau (today's Iran and Iraq). When Phoenicians and Romans brought these silky-longhaired cats to Europe, Europeans fell for them. Over the years, the Persian's long coat was deliberately retained and emphasized in breeding.

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.
Canadian Hairless
The Canadian Hairless, also called the Sphynx, is an extremely rare hairless genetic variant that appeared during the breeding of American or European domestic cats. Although it shares the skin pigment of domestic cats, its skin bears only a few hairs. With a wedge-shaped body, large ears, and a bulky frame, its head looks like Yoda's. The whole look makes it seem not cute but rather frightening compared with domestic cats.
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.
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.
Scottish Fold
The Scottish Fold's ears fold neatly forward over the head, earning it a place among the 'elf' cats. It is said that in 1961, a farm cat in Scotland gave birth to a litter containing a strange kitten with white fur, folded ears, and an owl-like face. Named after its birthplace near Coupar Angus, Scotland, and its folded ears, the breed became known as the 'Scottish Fold'.
