Name the Breed (cats)

Abyssinian

This cat is a breed of domestic shorthaired cat with a distinctive "ticked" tabby coat, in which individual hairs are banded with different colors. It is named after the country (now known as Ethiopia), from where it was first thought to have originated; more recent research now places its origins somewhere near the Egyptian coast. This breed has since become one of the most popular breeds of shorthair cat in the USA.

Arabian Mau

This cat is a formal breed of domestic cat, originated from the desert cat, a short-haired landrace native to the desert of the Arabian Peninsula, which lives there in the streets and has adapted very well to the extreme climate. The breed is recognized as a formal breed by few fancier and breeder organization and cat registry, World Cat Federation (WCF) and Middle East Cat Society (MECATS). Based on one landrace, the cat it is a natural breed. It is medium in size, with a body structure that is rather large and firm, not particularly slender, and with well developed musculature. The legs are comparatively long, with oval paws. The head appears round, but is slightly longer than broad. The nose is slightly concave curved, when viewed in profile. The whisker pads are clearly pronounced, with a slight pinch. The chin is very firm. The eyes are slightly oval, large and slightly slanted. The cat may have any normal cat eye color, and there is no relation between the eye and coat colors, usually they have bright green eyes. The ears are large, slightly forward and sideward-placed, high-set on the skull. The tail is generally of medium length and tapers slightly towards the tip. The coat is short and lying close to the body. It has no undercoat and is firm to touch. It may not be silky, but is noticeably very glossy.

Aegean cat

This cat is a naturally occurring landrace of domestic cat originating from the Cycladic Islands of Greece. Development of the cat as a formal breed began in the early 1990s by breeders in the fledgling Greek cat fancy, but the variety has yet to be recognized by any major fancier and breeder organization. It is considered to be the only native Greek variety of cat.

American Polydactyl

A polydactyl cat is a cat with a congenital physical anomaly called polydactyly (or polydactylism, also known as hyperdactyly), a type of cat body-type genetic mutation that causes the cat to be born with more than the usual number of toes on one or more of its paws. Cats with this genetically inherited trait are most commonly found along the East Coast of North America (in the United States and Canada) and in South West England and Wales.

Asian (cat)

The breed, also known as the Malayan, is a cat breed similar to the Burmese but in a range of different coat colors and patterns.Longhaired cats of all varieties are called Tiffanies. They are grouped in the foreign section at cat shows. The breed was developed in Britain, starting with a litter of kittens bred in 1981 by Baroness Miranda von Kirchberg. It is a medium-sized cat, with a muscular and compact body, which is devoid of fat. It has a broad and rounded chest, and slender legs. The straight tail is of medium length. The pleasantly rounded head has no flattened areas, and there is a very visible spot in profile. This gives the cat a full-looking face. The round and wide-set eyes come in the color of yellow.

Asian Semi-longhair

The cat is a cat breed similar to the Asian Shorthair except it has semi-long fur. The breed is also known by the name Tiffanie or Tiffany. They are recognized in any of the cats or Burmese colors and patterns. Like the Asian Shorthair, the breed was developed in Britain, and is not currently recognized by any U.S. Registries. It has full recognition in the GCCF. It is related to, and in some registries distinct from, the Chantilly-Tiffany or Foreign Longhair the North American variant. The Tiffanie was developed in the 1980s in the United Kingdom as a longhaired version of the Asian Shorthair. The breed origins can be traced back to matings between a longhaired cat and a Burmese (cat). It is very similar to Burmillas.

Australian Mist

This cat (formerly known as the Spotted Mist) is a breed of cat developed in Australia.This breed was developed by Truda Straede in Australia commencing in 1976, hence its name. The breed was developed by crossing the Burmese, Abyssinian, and miscellaneous domestic short-haired cats to create a short-haired cat with a spotted coat. The name was changed from "Spotted Mist" to it's modern name in 1998, when cats with marbled coats, rather than spots, were accepted as part of the breed.

American Curl

This cat is a breed of cat characterized by its unusual ears, which curl back from the face toward the center of the back of the skull. This cat's ears should be handled carefully because rough handling may damage the cartilage in the ear. The breed originated in Lakewood, California, as the result of a spontaneous mutation. In June 1981, two stray kittens were found and taken in by the Ruga family. The kittens were both longhaired, one black and the other black and white. The family named them Shulamith and Panda respectively, but Panda disappeared several weeks later, making Shulamith the foundation female of the breed.

American Shorthair

This cat is a breed of domestic cat believed to be descended from European cats brought to North America by early settlers to protect valuable cargo from mice and rats, there are not a great variety of mixed breeds with this breed's heritage. According to the Cat Fancier's Association, in 2012, it was the 7th most popular breed of cat in the United States.

American Wirehair

This cat is a breed of domestic cat originating in upstate New York. As of 2003, though the breed is well-known, it is ranked as the most rare of the 41 Cat Fanciers' Association breeds, with only 22 registered, down from 39 in 2002. The breed is a spontaneous mutation of the American Shorthair. It first occurred as a random mutation among a litter of five born to a pair of barn cats in 1966 in Vernon, in upstate New York. This single red-and-white male had wiry fur. The owner of the cats called a local breeder of Rex cats, Mrs. Joan O'Shea, to take a look at the kitten. She bought the kitten for $50, along with one of his normal-coated female littermates, to start a breeding program. The wirehaired male was named Adam, and the female Tip-Top.

American Bobtail

This cat is an uncommon breed of domestic cat which was developed in the late 1960s. It is most notable for its stubby "bobbed" tail about one-third to one-half the length of a normal cat's tail. This is the result of a cat body type genetic mutation affecting the tail development, similar to that of a Manx cat. The breed is not related to the Japanese Bobtail despite the similar name and physical type—the breeding programs are entirely unrelated, and the genetic mutation causing the bobbed tail are known to be different because the mutation causing the breed's tail is dominant, whereas the Japanese Bobtail tail mutation is recessive. They are a very sturdy breed, with both short- and long-haired coats. Their coat is shaggy rather than dense or fluffy. They can have any color of eyes and coat, with a strong emphasis on the "wild" tabby appearance in show animals.
