At first, only silver was accepted in the competition, but later all other colors were recognized and the name was changed to "Exotic Shorthair". After that, the breeders used different breeds, such as Maine Coon cats, Russian blue cats, etc., to breed with Persian cats to obtain exotic shorthair cats with different coat colors.

Sphinx cats are smart and very docile and friendly. They often fall asleep in the blanket with their owner. They like to stay on people's laps.

9. German curly cat

History:

The German curly cat comes from the UK. In the 1960s, a tortoiseshell and white striped stray cat was adopted by Beryl Cox. She gave birth to a litter of kittens, including a male kitten with dark brown curls. Miss Cox left the cat and named it Karlee. Miss Cox thought Karlee was a Cornish curly cat, so she wrote to Brian Sterling-Webb, a cat breeding expert. However, the test results show that Karlee's curl gene is completely different from that of the Konigs curl cat. There are also many differences in gene expression. For example, the whiskers of the Cornish cat are curved, while the whiskers of Kirlee are short and thick; Karlee's curls are very dense, but not as wavy as the Cornish cat. Breeders then began to cultivate this new breed and named it the German Curl cat. The ancestor of all German curly cats is Karlee.


Physiological characteristics:

The German Curl cat is of medium size and weighs about 3-4 kg. The shape of their short curly hair varies from cat to cat. Some cats have thick fur like messy mops, some have less fur like goatskin, and some even have bald patches. The beard and eyelashes are also short and wrinkled. Their hair is not as thermally insulating as other breeds, so it feels very warm when held.

The ears and eyes of the German curly cat are very large, and they look like an elf, with a long and thin neck and a very strange head shape. It is said that ET was designed based on the German curly cat.


Because the whiskers of German curly cats are often broken, it is difficult for them to accurately determine the position and direction in the dark. In addition, they have almost only a layer of undercoat, no protective hair, and are difficult to keep warm, so they are only suitable for domestic use.

Character characteristics:

The German curly cat has a strange appearance and personality. They are smart, mischievous, and very active. They love to play and are good at jumping. They may appear anywhere you can't think of. They are very clingy and love to stay on people's legs. They are relatively quiet and can live in harmony with children and other pets.

 

10. Abyssinian cat

History:

The Abyssinian is one of the oldest domestic cat breeds. Legend has it that Abyssinian cats are descendants of ancient Egyptian god cats because they are very similar to cats in ancient Egyptian murals and crafts. But recent studies have shown that the ancestors of Abyssinian cats may have come to Bengal.

Physiological characteristics:

Abyssinian cats are short-haired cats, medium-sized, and muscular. Male cats can weigh up to 3.5-4.5 kg, and female cats can weigh up to 2.7-3.2 kg. The body is slender, with slender legs.

The Abyssinian’s ears are large and arched forward, sometimes forming a bunch like an African wild cat. The head is small and slightly wedge-shaped. Their large eyes are almond-shaped and look like a circle of black eyeliner. The muzzle is naturally embedded in the overall face contour, neither protruding nor retracted. So they look very elegant and noble.

The fur of the Abyssinian cat has a gradient color similar to the agouti, and each hair has 4-6 shades, which is called "agouti pattern" (for more description of the agouti pattern, please see " A complete list of cat hair colors"). The hair is very elastic and clings to the body. When the hair is stroked backwards, it will immediately return to its original place. There is a dark line on the back that reaches the tail.

The coat colors are red, chocolate, laurel, blue, light purple, and light fawn. There is also a silver variety, the hair near the skin is icy and the color changes to the tip of the hair.

Character characteristics:

Abyssinian cats are loyal, friendly, very intelligent, and enjoy interacting with their owners and their surroundings. They will explore all the places, but rarely overturn things. They have a strong interest in surrounding things. It's not a cat who likes to stay on people's lap, mainly because they are always energetic and curious. Abyssinian cats sometimes lie on the owner's lap, but instantly become as energetic as a child, posing in weird poses. They love the company of humans of all ages, love to play, and hope to bring their masters into their activities. Don't like being alone.
