The Maine Coon is a relatively new breed that originated in New England, where it is known as the American Longhair or American Shorthair.

The Maine Coon may be large or small (15 to 20 pounds) with a long coat that can vary in color from solid black to tabby patterns.
The Ragdoll was developed by Ann Baker in California during the 1960s by crossing Persians and Burmese cats and then breeding back to Persians.

The Manx is a breed of domestic cat that is native to the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea. The cats have no tail and this is due to a genetic abnormality that causes their tails to be missing, or so short as to disappear into their fur.
The American Curl was first recognized as a breed in 1981 by The International Cat Association (TICA). The American Curl has an unusual trait – its ears curl backwards towards its head when they are relaxed or happy, making them look like miniature horns on top of their heads.
The Scottish Fold is another breed that has earned recognition from TICA as well as The Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) and many other registries worldwide. They have folded ears that are folded forward at birth but tend to relax over time so they eventually stand up straight again!
Long-tailed cats have a long tail that can be up to one third of their body length. The tail is usually held high and curled over the back.

The American Shorthair is an all-round type of cat with no specific characteristics except for its robust body structure and very dense coat (which comes in all colors except white).
