Selkirk Rex
Selkirk Rex is a cat breed that includes two varieties - short-haired and long-haired. Released in 1987 in the USA. The very first Selkirk Rex was a shorthaired, he was crossed with a Persian cat by an American felinologist from Montana, Jeri Newman. As a result, short-haired and long-haired kittens were born with a combination of curly and straight hair. Therefore, from the very beginning, the Selkirk Rex breed includes two varieties, differing in the type of wool. The breed is recognized by TICA and other associations are showing interest in it. The character is docile, the coat requires very careful care.

Persian cat
This is a breed of long-haired cats. There is a lot of obscurity about the origin of this breed. Apparently, desert and Asian steppe cats that lived in ancient times on the territory of Near Asia took part in its formation. Turkey is considered the birthplace of the Persian cat. The history of breeding the Persian cat in Europe begins in the 16-17th century, when it was brought to Italy and then to France. The animal has become widespread and popular. The Persian cat, in comparison with other breeds, shows the highest degree of domestication. She even lost the ability to catch mice, rats and cannot live outside the house. The Persian cat is distinguished by its affectionate character and complete trust in a person, very calm. Her devotion to man can be compared to that of a dog.

American curl
The origins of the American Curls are associated with the domestication of a stray cat. The ancestor of the breed is considered to be a cat named Sulamith, distinguished by its black silky hair and unusual shape of the ears. In 1981, Sulamith had four kittens, two of which had the same inverted ears. In 1983 the American Curl was shown in California and recognized in the United States. These cats first came to Europe only in 1995 and have not yet been recognized by the FIFe and the British Coordination Council for Rare Cat Breeds. The character of the American Curl is a mixture of devotion, tenderness, gaiety and curiosity. Robust health and ease of grooming complete the picture of the ideal cat. American Curls retain their playfulness and curiosity throughout their lives.

Турецкая ангора (ангорская кошка)
Turkish Angora (Angora cat)
One of the most ancient long-haired cat breeds, native to Turkey. It is often confused with Persian. Although they are neighbors ("Angora" is the changed name of Ankara, and the capital of Turkey is not that far from Iran, in the past Persia), there are significant differences between them. The Turkish Angora is much smaller than the Persian, more agile, lighter, slimmer, and has a nose without a notch at the base (foot), like a "Persian". Angora cats came to Europe at the end of the 16th century through France, so they were called French for some time. Currently, a purebred Angora cat is quite rare. In Europe, the Turkish Angora, unfortunately, was randomly interbred with cats of other long-haired breeds, primarily Persian. Therefore, for successful breeding work, Angora cats are used whenever possible from Turkey, where they still live at home, and in the cages of the capital's zoo. Lively, intelligent, sociable. They have a calm, even disposition. Turkish Angoras are smart and dedicated, adapting well to different living conditions.

Very unusual cats. With an average body length, their legs are 2-3 times shorter than those of ordinary cats, because of this feature they are sometimes called dachshunds. But the strangeness is not limited to the appearance. Whereas ordinary cats stand on their hind legs to look around, the Munchkin sits on their hips and rests firmly on their tail. Cats can be in this position for quite a long time, and short legs hanging on the sides give the appearance of a kangaroo, which looks quite comical. This breed did not come about as a result of selection, but because of a spontaneous mutation around the 30s. last century, at least at this time Europe was excited by reports of funny short-legged cats, in 1953 short-legged cats were seen in Stalingrad. They arrived in Russia in 2001. Many munchkin owners note that their pets do not like to meow a lot and loudly. Very agile, quick-witted, playful. Breeders note that cats of this breed love to follow their owner on a harness. They are also believed to be very docile and can learn to obey certain vocal commands.
