Tonkinese
The Tonkinese, also known as the Vietnamese cat, is not from Vietnam but a purebred short-haired breed produced by crossing the Siamese with the Burmese, first appearing in North America in the 1930s. With pointed coloring softer than the Siamese and a short, silky coat like the Burmese, the Tonkinese is famously affectionate, active, and people-oriented.

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'.
Abyssinian
The Abyssinian, also called the rabbit cat, Ethiopian cat, or Abyssinian, has the English name Abyssinian and is now distributed around the world.

In the 1950s, the Egyptian Mau was introduced to the United States and Britain, and in 1968 it won awards in formal competitions.
