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.

Persian
The Persian cat, also called Persian, Chinchilla, or Himalayan, with the Latin name Persian, represents nobility in people's minds. In China, most people's first pet cat was a Persian. However, most kept Persians are not purebred but non-purebred bred by merchants to meet the market; purebred Persians cost over a thousand dollars. Originating in Persia (Iran), it was developed in Britain over more than 100 years from Afghan longhair and Angora cats.
Siamese
The Siamese cat, also called the Thai cat, with English name Siamese, traces its origins to Thailand in the 14th century from non-purebred Asian cats. Once living in royal palaces and temples, it was later given as a diplomatic gift to other countries. Famous for its striking color points, blue almond eyes, and vocal, affectionate personality, the Siamese is a beloved and distinctive breed.
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.
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.
