Getty Images Name: Himalayan Appearance: According to TheCatSite.com, Himalayans have large, round heads and short necks with small ears and very large, wide, blue eyes on their brachycephalic faces. They are medium to large in size, and have short legs and big feet. Their pointed coats are their most distinguishing characteristic. They come in colors from lilac to blue, cream to seal. In general, they look like large, puffy Siamese cats. History: Unlike most breeds of cat, the history of the Himalayan is concrete and well-documented, according to Himalayan Cats Online. In 1931, cat breeder Virginia Cobb and Harvard Medical School's Dr. Clyde Keeler set out to breed a long-haired, ...
Getty Images Name: Maine coon Appearance: According to Maine Coon Cat Nation, Maine coons generally are very large, long-haired cats with shaggy coats and pronounced manes. They are most notable for their size -- males can weigh between 13 and 18 pounds, and females between 9 and 12 -- and the massive amounts of long hair that sprouts from all over their bodies, except their faces.

Their faces are long and expressive, and they have large, lynx-like ears. History: Although many people believe that Maine coons came about in ...

Your first reaction might be concern, wondering if the cat's tail was lost in some sort of accident. But, no, that's the way it should be, as Japanese bobtails have one of the strangest mutations: They have little stubby tails. According to the Cat Fanciers' Association, the mutation is a recessive trait, so the only way to breed bobtails is by breeding two of them together. Aside from their tails, Japanese bobtails have triangular heads, large, alert ears, a medium sized body, and can come in all colors and patterns. Also, bobtails are prone to have mismatched eyes. History: ...
Flickr/The Pug Father The sphynx is easily the most recognizable breed of cat. Though considered hairless, the sphynx does have a layer of light fuzz over its body. Other than its unusual follicular qualities, the sphynx has other eye-catching features including a wedge-shaped head, large ears and often, a distended belly. Sphynxes are not nearly as old as their name would suggest. Although the genetic mutation that results in their lack of fur is as old as genetic mutations themselves, the sphynx breed has only existed since the 1960s. Several naturally hairless cats were bred both amongst themselves and also with normal cats in order to create the genetically healthy yet consistently ...
