SingapuraใKucinta
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'.
Ocicat
The Ocicat, despite being mistaken for a wild cat, is a wholly domestic breed developed in the United States from Abyssinian, Siamese, and American Shorthair ancestors. After a winding path to recognition, a decade of bloodline management won it acceptance. With its spotted, wild-looking coat and friendly, active nature, the Ocicat is a striking yet affectionate companion.
Abyssinian
The Abyssinian, also called the rabbit cat, Ethiopian cat, or Abyssinian, has the English name Abyssinian and is now distributed around the world. People usually judge a cat's origin by its name, but the Abyssinian's origin seems somewhat distant from Abyssinia. Abyssinia is the old name for Ethiopia, yet many believe the Abyssinian comes from ancient Egypt.
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.
