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.
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.
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

Singapura、Kucinta
The Singapura originates from Singapore and is also known as the Lion City Cat. With the English names Singapura and Kucinta, it is the smallest cat breed in the world, attracting much attention from cat lovers. Its less pleasant nicknames, drain cat and sewer cat, come from its living environment: early on, the Singapura was unwelcome among locals and forced to live in drains or sewers, hence the names.
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'.
Egyptian Mau
The Egyptian Mau (Felinae) is found worldwide. Although called the Egyptian Mau, it cannot be confirmed that it originated in Egypt; however, because its image and written records appear in ancient Egyptian murals, steles, and papyrus scrolls, people believe its ancestor is the African wildcat. In the 1950s, the Egyptian Mau was introduced to the United States and Britain, and in 1968 it won awards in formal competitions.
Tabby Cat
The Tabby Cat originated in the United States. It has a copper-brown base coat with pure black tabby pattern markings and a lighter copper-colored ring surrounding them. The neck is relatively short and muscular. The coat is short, thick, and stiff in texture. The personality is independent, lively, and alert. With strong rat-catching ability, it is beloved by ordinary people. It features a classic tabby pattern and red tortoiseshell markings of varying shades, both clearly visible. The paw pads are red or black. The breed trait is that tortoiseshell tabby cats, or 'tortie tabbies,' are very likely to be female only. It is a natural tabby breed formed through thousands of years of natural selection.
Norwegian Forest Cat
The Norwegian Forest Cat is a breed native to the Scandinavian Peninsula that dwells in the forests of Norway. Its origins are unclear, and it often appears as an elf-like cat in Norse mythology. Resembling the Maine Coon, it is grouped with the Siberian Forest Cat. Living in cold, harsh environments, it developed a thicker, denser coat and a strong, sturdy build. Large and powerful, it runs extremely fast, tolerates sun and rain, and its neck and tail fur flow beautifully as it moves. However, the population in Norway's inland forests has declined year by year, facing the threat of extinction, which made preservation and breeding efforts since the early 1970s especially important.
