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.
Siberian
The Siberian Forest Cat, shortened to Siberian Cat, has the earliest written records from the 11th century: it was a very common cat in Russian markets and Siberian villages.

The Selkirk Rex, English name Selkirk Rex, is one of the newest natural breeds, evolved from domestic cats. First from Wyoming, USA, cross-bred with Persians to develop its traits, it can be crossed with Persians, Exotic Shorthairs, British and American Shorthairs. Free of genetic diseases, it is a very healthy cat distinguished by its fully curly coat—even the whiskers curl.
Oriental Shorthair
The Oriental Shorthair is a distinct breed, unexpectedly produced by breeders while developing another cat. They wanted a pure-white Siamese, so crossed Siamese with pure-white cats, producing today's Oriental. Though born in 1962, it was recognized as a new breed in 1972. Its appearance is close to the Siamese but differs greatly in coat color.
