The Toyger was bred by an American woman in the 1980s from a mackerel tabby and a street cat with a spotted face that she imported from India. Judy Sugden created the Toyger specifically to look like a Bengal tiger. She mixed non-pedigree short hairs that had striping patterns with domestic Bengal cats and came up with the Toyger. They have strong bodies and big-boned high-set shoulders that make them look like a proper big tiger when they walk. They stand at about 13 inches tall on average. There are fewer than 500 Toygers in the world and only 19 breeders as of 2020. As a very modern breed, there is a Toyger called Pippa with an Instagram account of 30K followers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This cat breed first appeared on a Scottish farm in the early 1960s and its characteristic physical features may be the result of a spontaneous mutation. The breed has a unique round head and low forward-folding ears and big eyes, noticeably a different owl-like look to most other medium-sized domestic cats. They come in a range of coat colors and can be long-haired or short. They are calm cats and only vocal when necessary. They often give their love to one lucky human and have a stocky body. The genetic trait that caused the cartilage in their ears to fold can sometimes lead to bone and joint disorders. Their beautiful eyes can be gold, green, or blue.

The Exotic breed has been called the “Persian of lazy people”, because it resembles the Persian in its face and body, but it has a much shorter and more easily manageable fur coat. The breed was first recognized by the Cat Fanciers’ Association in the U.S. In the 1950s it was bred from crossing Persians with American shorthairs as well as Russian blues and Burmese. The famous cartoon cat Garfield is an Exotic, he was a wisecracking creature! They share much of their DNA with Persians so have similar health issues like kidney problems and heart disease, but the Exotic is generally a healthy breed.

The name \u201cRagdoll\u201d refers to this cat\u00b4s gentleness and loose muscles as they love to relax like a rag doll. The Ragdoll lives between 13 and 18 years, is a cat of high intelligence, and has a quiet nature. They are known to be very patient cats with strong loyal tendencies.

This wrinkled, hairless, and very cute cat began to be bred in America in 2008. The breed is very similar both in DNA and looks to the Sphynx cat but has a backward-curved ear tip (a genetic mutation) that gives it an “elf” -like appearance. Two American women are known to be the creators of the breed, crossing the Sphynx with the American Curl. The Elf needs to be wiped down frequently to prevent the build-up of oil and possible skin rashes on its sensitive skin. The Elf is great if you are allergic to cat hair and dander and is good with kids and other cats. They need a high-calorie diet to stay warm, and both the Elf and the Sphynx have robust appetites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Peterbald, sometimes also known as the St. Petersburg Sphinx Cat, was bred in 1994 by Olga Mironova, a St. Petersburg lady who crossed an Oriental shorthair with a naked breed called the Donskoy. The Peterbald is a vocal cat that often meows its replies to its owners and is known to be both affectionate and loyal. They like to eat a lot as they have a higher metabolism than coated cats and need daily exercise to keep their muscle-bound bodies in good shape. A sweater in winter and regular baths will keep your Peterbald healthy. They are a relatively healthy breed and actually have five coat variations from bald to 70% hairless to a coat of 5mm hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It is another relatively new breed, in existence since the 1940s and only recognized as a breed in 1991.

They are intelligent, loving, and energetic and get along well with other cats, kids, and seniors. Because of their rarity, kittens can cost quite a bit.

The more their ears resemble a crescent moon, the more demand among potential owners for the cat\u2014and its price will increase proportionally according to those specific criteria. It is a rare cat species with only about 3000 cats all over the world. Living from 12 to 15 years, they are of medium intelligence and infrequently meow.

The ancient Persian is one of the most popular cats breeds due to its majestic coat and gentle, calm friendly, and obedient disposition.

By the 1800s they were found in Britain\u2014Queen Victoria owned several Persians and loved one in particular called \u201cWhite Heather\u201d who remained at Buckingham Palace after she had died, endearing the breed to the British public. As we have seen, a number of more modern breeds owe their ancestry to this cat…The Persian cat demands daily grooming with special rounded-end brushes. Bathe or spot clean your Persian (if it does not like baths,) but if you have your Persian from kittenhood regularly bathe them and as an adult, they won\u00b4t mind!

The caracat is the result of a cross between the wild Caracal, or desert Lynx, and an Abyssinian cat; it is considered to be one of the rarest and most expensive cat hybrid species in the world. The breeding program was officially successful in 2007. It is very difficult to breed this cat and there are only a few of them around the world. Keeping them requires much care and attention, they are more gentle than their direct ancestors, but they still show some aggression. The Caracat is said by some to be an instance of humans exploiting animals to make the perfect cat. Whatever you think of the creation of the Caracat, it can weigh up to 13 kg and is very beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Another hybrid wild cat breed is the Savannah. The first ever recorded Savannah kitten was the result of a crossbreeding between a domesticated Siamese cat and an African serval. Breeding began in 1986. It was only introduced as a new breed of cat in 2001. There will be no mature behavioral problems if you raise it properly from kittenhood, but if your Savannah plays too rough and you don’t train it to behave, it can become an aggressive adult cat. It requires a lot of careful attention. It is only recommended as a cat for people who can spend all their free time with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
