Cymric
The Cymric, English name Cymric, is also called the Longhaired Manx or Longhaired Isle of Man cat. From its alias we know it is a longhaired cat; though long-haired, it's not hard to groom. Its most striking feature is having no tail, drawing immediate attention.
Turkish Angora
The Turkish Angora, named for Turkey's capital Ankara, is one of the oldest long-haired breeds, dating to the 16th century. Elegant with silky, medium-length coat and almond eyes, it is agile, independent, and famously fond of water. Once nearly supplanted by the Persian, it was revived in the US from 1963 and is now carefully bred to preserve its pure bloodline.
HimalayanใColourpoint 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.
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.
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.
