Siberian
The Siberian Forest Cat, shortened to Siberian Cat, has the earliest written records from the 11th century: it was a very common cat in Russian markets and Siberian villages. Living in a harsh country, it is covered in long fur with a thick ruff around the neck. Its outer guard hairs are hard, smooth, and oily, and its dense undercoat resists the Siberian cold.
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.
Cornish Rex
The Cornish Rex, English name Cornish Rex, originates from England. Its ancestor is a non-purebred shorthair, dating to 1950, with a childlike, mischievous personality. The breeder mated the first kitten, Kallibunker, with its mother, producing more cats. This is the origin of the Cornish Rex breed.
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.
