Breeds

    The breeds you see above are not all of them but are few of the many. One of the most common breeds in America are American short haired and American long haired. But there are so many other breeds in America. Don't be startled if you have a cat with no tail. There are many breeds of cats that are born that way. Not only are there different breeds, there are different body types.
    There are many interesting facts about different cat breeds. The Siamese cat originated in Siam, a Thailand country, and are one of the oldest known cat breeds. Some say they got their kinked tail from curling it around statues to guard and protect them many centuries ago. Siamese come in many different colors, but in the same design, dark nose, tail , ears, and paws. They are skinny long cats with long tails.
    A show-quality  Persia has an extremely long thick coat, short legs, a wide head with the ears set far apart, large eyes, and an extremely foreshortened muzzle. The breed was originally established with a short  muzzle, but over time this feature has become extremely exaggerated, particularly in North America, and Persians with the more extreme brachycephalic head type are susceptible to a number of health problems caused by it.
   The Manx cat is a cat born with out a tail or just a stub. These cats originated on the Isle Of Man, where they are usually found at. Manx cats also have different patterns and lengths of their pelts. Some have long hair and some have short. These cats also have great balance and are good at hunting large prey, even at a young age.
