With all of the over breeding in cats today I am sure there are almost unlimited breeds these days, the hairless cat is probably one of the craziest out there.

Awesome list, I have been learning about many breeds, my favorite breed has to be a British short hair, such loving cats they are.

The Siberians are awesome. They're generally one of the healthiest cats to live with. They've also been known to be great pets for people who have allergies.

The Burmese cat on the other hand are famously known as "bricks wrapped in silk". They are generally muscled with an athletic body.
