The Cornish Rex is the result of the mutation that occurred from a litter of kittens where one of the kittens, a male had an extremely unusual fine and curly coat; he was the first Cornish Rex. The owner soon realized that it is occurred due to mutation and soon the male grew up and was able to mate it was cross breed with the mother and hence produced two more such kittens. Later it was bred with the Siamese and this where they got the long tails and ears from.

Cornish rex only has undercoat they have fur that is curled the more it is rubbed the tighter the curl gets. They have no hair except for the down hair; the undercoat which means that they are best suited for indoor living in warm and dry conditions. Its body temperature is slightly higher than the other cats (102 F), and these cats tend to hang around places that are warmer such as the light bulbs, the tops of computer monitors and other warm places including laps and shoulders. The Cornish Rex is lean from torso to tail and they every thing they have Legs, Ears are Tail its long. They come in different colors white, black, chocolate, orange and diluted blue, lilac and cream also mackerel and ticked tabbies in bicolor. Their eyes colors are usually copper or gold.

The Cornish Rex are very delightful, fun, active and fascinating creatures they form bonds with every one and very quickly they have no favorites as every one who comes in front of it becomes their favorite. So if the owner has to go for some time and have to leave their cat back they really don’t have to bother about it that much. They also can go along very well with other pets or animals either new one or regular, be it either dog, cats, parrots, birds or rabbits it has no problem with any one in fact they would actively like to play with them. If they are provided an option they will choose to play and spend time with the humans; at the time of their sleep you are likely going to find them in the bed primary reason is to get to a warmer place but there are certain other places to go to but the human bonding has a lot to do with it. Be it kitten or full grown up their interest in playing and remaining active never fades out. Their maintenance is also very easy as they don’t have hair; only under coat, no guard hair or the outer fur so there is no hassle of brushing just the little rubbing with the hands is the only care that is required and they don’t shed hair excessively just like other breeds of cats do. They cost $650 to $700 and they can live up to 13-15 years of age.

British shorthair cat that comes in variety of colors and the most fascinating factor in coloring is that it can be either a blend of two colors or simply one single color for the whole body. They are natural breed and they are crossbred with Persian Cats to improve the thickness of their coat which is the reason why they have dense coats of hair that are often described as crisp or cracking, which refers to the way the coat breaks over the cat’s body contours when ruffled. British Shorthair eyes are big round that comes in many colors primarily copper or gold eyes. British Shorthairs are large and muscular but they can carry around that weight easily and are cobby build that enables them to play around and do the usual cat activities.

British Blue is one variant and the grey color gives it the name though it has a tinge of blue therefore called British Blue; which one upon beholding the sheer sight of a cat clad in coat comprising of a mix of grey color with slight blue ting take away the senses that enable one to structure sentences in order to explain the pure charisma that scene holds because its simply divine to watch that and that is what which makes it popular across the globe. They are very less demanding though when they need the attention they communicate it and after the fulfillment of their appetite for their attention they go back to what they were doing and let you alone to complete the task you were working on. British Shorthair is very quite, laidback and affectionate creature they often like to help and they love to participate in activities that people around them are working on, they might even at times jump into bed with you. They are equally inclined towards people belonging to the adult age group or children they are at par with the teddy bear though they don’t mind cuddling but they would love it a little petting on the back with the just resting on the ground.

They make very little noise but they do talk when required; they don’t brag around all the time. They have a very unique distinction of recognizing voice of people and they try to literally talk to them and reply back in their distinctive manner. They go along very well with cats, dogs or birds. As British Shorthair enjoys company of other animals who share the same temperament as they have. They are not demanding at all doesn’t matter if you are a person or a family that sits around and watch TV or have less activity going around they only need affection and they will just come and sit around where you are or watch any activity that is going on from a distant place and contend it self with that.

They cost around $600 to $700.

Coarse-haired cats have appeared in many countries, but only a few breeders have been busy selecting and improving them. Born from a spontaneous mutation of American short hair cat, cat breed is an American with coarse texture characterized by coat: wavy hair with the ends bent inwards or hook shaped. This mutation has occurred naturally during the pregnancy of an American short hair cat born in 1967 in New York.

A good advice so that the hair  remains always curly, it requires to the master to often give a few minutes to combed and brushed, which will keep the animal in condition.

Varieties.

And in this race there are many varieties, differentiated by color, but also by the length and degree of crimping of the hair.

Devon Rex breed comes  from a cat with  curly  fur , found in 1960 by Beryl Cox, in Devon, England. He  observed that a  street cat  gave birth to a kitten with a weird look and wavy fur, whose father apparently was a cat with the same kind of coat that made his century in the area. The kitten became  the ancestor of  Devon Rex breed. Being a relatively new breed, Devon Rex is carefully crossed  with copies of American and British Shorthair, to strengthen existing genetic background. In the U.S., the first copies of Devon Rex arrived in 1968 and was recognized in 1983.

Morphological traits

The first impression  that  a Devon Rex cat leave  is a mischievous  face with curly fur . Cheekbones are grade, large eyes and ears and bigger and located quite low on the skull. The face of the cats have a distinctive line. Viewed from the front, the skull is limited by a series of 3 distinct convex curves that gradually narrows: the outer edge of ear lobes, cheekbones and the clamping line of whiskers. The head is preferably flat, but its length must be greater than the width. It is recommended that face to be good shape, with prominent cheekbones and a junction area of the whiskers clearly delineated. Seen in profile, the nose presents a prominent stop. The forehead is slightly curved, and the skull is flat. The muzzle is short and well-defined and  the chin is strong and developed.

Birman have a very robust attitude and they are very endurable. That a lot has to do with the myth that has been associated with it that a lot has to do with the place it originates from Burma; Birman cats are tagged as sacred companion of the Kittah priests the temple of Lao-Tsun. One day, when the temple was attacked and Mun-Ha was killed, Sinh placed his feet on his master and faced the goddess. While the white fur got a golden tint to it, his eyes turned blue, as the goddess and the legs and tail that were touching the ground turned into the shade of the earthy color. However, the paws that were on top of the priest remained white. It is astonishing to notice that still Birman cats have fingers and toes that are in pure white color regardless of what other color they have for the rest of the body. Birman is a large, strongly built, elongated and stocky cat, they are a natural breed. In comparison to the other cat types, Birman have long, silky hair with a semi-cobby body. All Birman Cats are born white its color starts developing only after a week or two weeks. While in the first week, Birman Cats have dark color, it is only after two weeks that they have clearer color.

They are very timid once either discouraged or encouraged while doing anything they surely grab that instance and would act accordingly then. Another very intriguing aspect to this cat breed is the voice; as it has a very sweet tone and soft vocals, which they often use when acquiring peoples attention.

Birman Cats are very popular for their disciplinary temperament and companionship as they form a great affinity with not just the owner but with their entire family and as often at times it has been witnessed that children has the tendency to man handle or roughly handle the cats they don’t mind that in fact they love that rough play. One thing common amongst many breeds of cats is that they all are very intelligent but Birman Cats are highly intelligent creatures they keenly watch all the activities that are going on around and love to take part in them too, they are not afraid of any house hold activity and actively wants their share in any thing that is happening around. They live about for 15-18 years and they cost around $450. The maintenance is quite much as 2-3 brushes a week and bath at end of every season but the deep blue eyes and the divine factor to this cat makes all this worth it.

American Curl breed is famous especially for his bent ears , which are the result of spontaneous mutations. Ears are straight and open, bending through the back, in a graceful curve, opposite to the  Scottish Fold cats, which are bowed and bent toward the front. The ears give the breed an alert and cheerful look.
American Curl breed history begins in a sunny day of June 1981, in Lakewood, California. A black female with long hair and silky, with some unusual ears, appeared at the door of Joe and Grace Ruga. Joe Grace encouraged her not to feed the cat, but the woman, listening to her heart, left a bowl of cat food next to the doorway.  The black and affectionate cat  quickly made its way into the heart of the family, who called  it Shulamith, which means “black but pleasant”.
In December 1981, Shulamith gave birth to her first offspring. Of four kittens, two had their ears bent. He was contacted a geneticist to study this phenomenon, confirming that this unusual ear is the result of genetic mutations, most likely inherited, caused by a dominant gene, and strains without attachments. Referring to it as a spontaneous mutation, the gene that caused the bending ear seemed to follow a single dominant pattern.
Inbreeding began in 1983. The standard of this breed is a medium-sized cat, alert, with an elegant aspect and a sweet expression, open, filled his ears remarkable. Because of his domestic ancestors, American Curl therapy is available both in the long hair, and in one with short hair, both varieties with a soft fur, silky, shiny and attached to the body. breed with long hair is different because of the very bushy tail. The  care of this breed is easily done. An occasional bath and brushing is all that one needs for these cats to maintain coat in good condition.

Morphological traits

The distinctive feature of this breed it  is the unique ear shape. The ears are quite stiff to the touch, high and open, bending the light in an arch. American Curl breed ears were compared with those of Lynx’s, with long tufts of hair accentuating the appearance of bending the ears. Great care must be taken handling the ears to avoid breaking  the cartilage.
When they are born, their ears are straight, but within 3-4 days after birth, the ears start to bend back. In the first  4 months of life, kittens ears gradually bend in different degrees, ranging up when determining the final shape at the age of 4 months. Around this age, professional can determine the quality cat breeder, based on the degree of bending of the ears, correlated with body type.

Character and behavior

In terms of personality, American Curl breed is very people oriented, loyal and affectionate. Being a nosy and curious temperament,  they assist their human companions in any action that those are  planning to do.
American Curl loves human company and adapt very quickly to any other animals, children or new situations. Although cats are considered to be smart, they keep the kitten behavior even on adulthood.

Varieties

Besides the fact that they are available with short fur  and the long fur varieties, the cats of breed American Curl can be any color or coat pattern. The eyes can have a whole range of colors.

American Short-Hair Cat or American with short hair that descended from European cats were brought to the New World by immigrants, after the conquest of the  “saint” earth  and selected  in the new conditions to obtain the current form. The beauty and loving nature of these cats came to be widely appreciated, as well as their ability to catch rats.
A cat belonging to this breed came to be offered for sale at the second annual exhibition at Madison Square Garden, in 1896, for fabulous sum of 2,500 dollars!

In the early twentieth century, the U.S. imported foreign breeds (breeds with long hair),which were crossed with native cats with short hair, producing kittens with different types of fur, colors and temperaments. Those who wanted to keep North American cats with short hair have acquired the best examples of the breed, which they began to selectively mate them, to keep their conformation, temperament and expressive figure, American Shorthair, as we know it today. FCA recognized the breed in 1906, being one of the first five races recorded in this Association. Known originally as “short-haired domestic cat, the breed was renamed in 1966, receiving the name of American Shorthair, that suggests more than its specific character and which distinguish American from all other breeds with short hair. This name emphasizes, at the same time, the idea that North American cat with short hair is clearly different from specimens that are found on the street.

Of pure chance, a cat with short hair and no pedigree may resemble an American Shorthair, as other breeds may have similar characteristics with Siamese cats, Persians or other cats. The difference, however, is that a cat with pedigree can consistently produce kittens with the same physical conformation, the same as the coat and the same temper, this thing doesn’t happen  common  cats. Years of inbreeding and careful recording of many generations of cats guarantees that each set of kittens will have certain qualities.

These beautiful cats have not only a great look , they are also healthy, tough and full of affection. Males have a waist larger than females, weighing between 5 and 7 kilograms at maturity. Female adults  weighing between 3.5 and 5.5 kilograms.

The name as it is showcases the sheer grace that it caries in its persona; the attraction and the beauty that it has earns it the name similar to Balinese Dancers that is why called Balinese. Though they are very similar in color and other feature to Siamese but they don’t inherit the hyper attitude which makes them very subtle and adaptive. They are very affectionate creatures and once they are in the house then the house doesn’t belong to you; they simply own it then. They go along with other animals very well especially suitable for those who have dogs at their house; they go along very well with dogs.

Balinese are very family oriented they go along very well with the environment in the house and are very timid as they can be carried out to travel with you even If it’s a 10 hour long drive. They are very talkative; this is a trait very similar to Siamese in fact this is where Balinese inherited it from actually but they don’t have a sharp voice like Siamese have. They like to seek the attention of those who are often around them and this is a tool that Balinese always use to seek attention as they like some activity going around them because they are full of affection and are very loveable. They always like to hang around people and when they sense that you want to be alone for a while or you go to sleep they will wait for the moment when it can sit back onto your lap they are very active and alert as well they recognize people and in case of the arrival of any stranger or new person into the house they are going to make you aware of their presence. It costs $500 to $600 and can live up to 12-15 years. Almost no shedding, startling loyalty, dog like attitude and a plus of talkative feature makes it one of the sought out cat breed.

Oriental cat is actually a Siamese with different color fur and green eyes. The form and the temperament  are identical with the ones in Siamese cat . Oriental breed was created by crossing a breed of cats of  Siamese breed with cats from other breeds,  to produce different colors of Siamese. Black Siamese is one of the oldest types of cats but only in 1950 began to make efforts to change the color of the first race. Havana was the first Oriental cat champion who won the status of the exhibitions for cats.

Morphological traits:

Oriental cats of breed standards are the same as for Siamese cats, regardless of color or type. They are medium sized cats, but appear to be more cumbersome than they actually are. In fact, Siamese and oriental short hair are practically the same race. Oriental short hair was created as desired characteristic  Siamese signs  distribution throughout the body. The first step in getting new breeds of cats were crossing twins in  one color  flexible specimens . The result came soon: a cat like Siamese, but  with no specific  Himalayan model. The head, of medium size, form a perfect equilateral triangle beginning at the nose and the ears, increased gradually, with straight lines, without hollow pear trees in the right touch. Profile is elongated and straight, slightly convex and without stop. The ears are large, broad based and distance.  She needs to be fed 80 kcal / kg / day. Under no circumstances, the Oriental cat should not be fat.
Oriental cats have  specific breed health problems. An annual inspection is recommended, however, since the age of eight years for  checking liver and functioning kidneys, as well as for cleaner teeth.

Character and temperament:

As Siamese ,the Oriental cats  are intelligent cats, curious ,who know how to make known their presence. They like to “talk” with their human companions and always expect a reply. They want to be part of the family and they love to play. Oriental Cats inherited from twins not only look, with the Siamese  but also  have their temperament. Like Siamese cats, the Oriental  are very “talkative”. Once you arrive home full of enthusiasm  you will be welcomed at the door and she  will tell you what she have done. If you are late and she  will argue with you, “saying” that she was  worry because  you were not given any phone. Eastern has a colorful personality. They are  very attached to people and want desperately to share life with them.
Short and glossy coat Oriental cats do not require very much care, but it is better to grant them from time to time carefully, because this makes them very happy.

Varieties.

The most interesting thing to Oriental, besides their great personality, is that  they are known in over 300 different colors and designs. Shepherd sheds hair very little.

This medium sized, short haired cat and inquisitive eyes Australian Mist is developed by crossing of different breeds of cats which have different characteristics; that the developers wanted to induce into one package, that included the Burmese, Abyssinian and random Shorthair Domestic cats and eventually this genetic combo leads to the inheritance of certain features of laid back nature & loving personality from Burmese; the intelligence and ticked coat from the Abyssinian and the genetic hardiness from the Domestic Shorthair cats.

As they have been inflicted genes of so friendly and active donors that it is perfect for any age group or environment as opposed to the extreme nature of other breeds; the crossing between different factions have resulted in the cancellation of these negative aspects or have either been minimized for instance Abyssinian; they are playful and they easily mingle with the residents of the house ranging from the very young children to adults as they are very calm relax and don’t scratch; which makes them safe for small children. But Aby’s hardly like to sit in the lap or stay put for a while but Australian Mist do that thanks to the genes that it got from Burmese which inculcated this trait in their personality one other thing which adds more attraction to this breed of cats; Australian Mist is their eyes, they are so eye-catching which simply takes one’s heart away they come in different shades of green which are breathtaking, where its cool, calm and relax demeanor multiplies the adorability of this creature.

They are very social and like to play, stay active and have fun even when they grow up; they don’t lose this spark in their personality, they do are friendly towards humans and likes more to hang around with them thanks to the genetics of Abyssinian but the presence of other animals also don’t bothers them. Their fur coat is short and dense this is where the genes of Burmese comes into play; which makes the maintenance easy for these cats as they only need to be brushed weekly. They eat a lot and they are prone to obesity therefore the food intake should be monitored and if the situation leads to obesity then properly regulation for the food intake must be exercised because that can badly effect the health of Australian Mist. They have strong teethes and they must be given something to chew onto.

One of the interesting aspect to the personality of Australian mist is that they respond to the human vocals or instructions and if they are properly trained they are likely going to understand some of the basic instruction used in daily life i.e. stand, sit, stop and come but they like dogs also like to fetch things !! This is very interesting and that is why they like to hang around teenage or grownup male because they like such activities. The average cat life among all the cat breeds is the same i.e. between 15-18 years. An Australian Mist can cost $350 to $400.
