9. Scottish Fold: The Scottish Fold is recognized by its medium-size body and unusual ears, which fold forward and downward, and are quite small. The Fold’s ears look straight and normal at birth, but will begin to fold after about 21 days. Most Folds also have short, silky hair, although there is a long-haired variety as well.
8. American Curl: Initially, a Curl kitten looks like any other kitten, though with large, open ears. Within a week their ears will curl back, curling and uncurling until the cat reaches four months of age. Their curl will then become fixed and permanent. This breed found in United States, Spain, France, Japan, Russia, and many other countries.
7. Snowshoe: Snowshoes are generally affectionate, sweet-tempered, and mellow. They enjoy the company of humans and being pet, and are compatible with children and other pets. Snowshoes are very social and docile, and show great devotion and love towards their owners.

4. Ukrainian Levkoy: Having similarty to the Sphynx in some ways, the cat is of medium size with a longish body, appearing both muscular and slender. It has soft, elastic skin; an excess of which leads to a wrinkled appearance. The Ukrainian Levkoy is still relatively new as a breed. The first official specimen was born in January 2004.
3. Minskin: They are derived from crossing the Munchkin with the Sphynx. The Minskin is an incredibly new breed, and has only been around since 1998. The first standard Minskin “TRT I Am Minskin Hear Me Roar” ‘Rory’ was born in 2000, and by 2005, there were fifty of them in existence.
2. Munchkin: The Munchkin is a relatively new breed of cat characterized by its very short legs, medium-size with a long body, walnut-shaped eyes and triangular ears. The cat comes in all coat colors and patterns. It also comes in short-haired and long-haired varieties, both sporting an all-weather coat.
1. Sphynx: The Sphynx, or Canadian Hairless, is probably one of the best-known bizarre cat breeds. It is a breed of cat that is born without fur. It is actually covered with a fine gossamer-like down which can only barely be felt or even seen by the naked eye. Another bizarre trait of this breed is its wrinkles. Around the shoulders, between the ears, and around the muzzle is where the wrinkles should be heaviest.
