Scottish Fold Cat.

     The Scottish Fold is a breed of cat with a natural dominant-gene mutation that makes its ear cartilage contain a fold, causing the ears to bend forward and down towards the front of their head, which gives the cat what is often described as an "owl-like" appearance
Originally called lop-eared or just lops after the lop-eared rabbit, Scottish Fold became the breed's name in 1966.

     All Folds are born with straight, unfolded ears, and those with the Fold gene will begin to show the fold usually within about 21 days.The original cats only had one fold in their ears, but due to selective breeding breeders have increased the fold to a double or triple crease that causes the ear to lie totally flat against the head.The Scottish Fold is a medium-size cat, with males typically reaching 9 to 13 lbs. (6-9 for females). The Fold's entire body structure, especially the head and face, is generally rounded, and the eyes large and round. The nose will be short with a gentle curve and the cat's body well-rounded with a padded look and medium-to-short legs. The head is domed at the top, and the neck very short. The broadly-spaced eyes give the Scottish Fold a "sweet expression".Scottish Folds can be either long- or short-haired, and they may have nearly any coat colour or combination of colours (including white) except pointed colours: for example: Cream, Bi-color, and etc.

Sacred Birmans kittens playing

     Birmans have semi-long, silky hair, a semi-cobby body and relatively small ears compared to other cat races and a Roman nose. In order to comply with breed standards, the Birman's body should be of an eggshell colour or golden, depending on the intensity of the markings colour. The markings can be pure seal, chocolate, blue, red, lilac or cream. Tabby variations are also allowed. Tortie cats can be seal, chocolate, blue or lilac. Birmans have sapphire coloured eyes.

The Birman's coat is unusual due to the white 'gloves' on each paw. They are one of the few cat breeds in the colourpoint coat that has fingers and toes in pure white colour. The genetics of this feature may not be not fully clear, though a gene conferring the white 'gloves' has been identified.

     Points of Birman are: Seal-point, Blue-point, Chocolate-point, Lilac-point, Seal Tortie-point, Cream-point, Blue Cream point, Chocolate Tortie point, Lilac Tortie point. The same colours in Tabby version (Lynx): Seal Tabby point, Blue Tabby point, Chocolate Tabby point, Lilac Tabby point, Red Tabby, Cream Tabby point, Tortie Tabby point. Lynx or Red Factor colors on the legs, tail and face. The same colors exist in Silver/Smoke version while not yet recognize by all clubs. Birmans differ from conventional colour-point cats by their white paws called gloves. The coat is medium-length, not as long and thick as a Persian's, and does not mat. A notable feature is their blue eyes which remain blue throughout their life. Australian breeders have been recently working on new colors like: Cinnamon point, fawn point.

     The only allowed white areas are gloves. A spot of white in another area is a fault in a Birman cat. Gloves are symmetrical in all four feet. The white must stop at the articulation or at the transition of toes to metacarpals; and all fingers must be white too. The posterior gloves on the back paws finish with an inverted V extended 1/2" to 3/4".

Bombay Cat.

     The Bombay is a muscular, yet agile, cat with a black coat. The heads of British Bombay cats are rounded and wide with a medium-short, blunt tapered muzzle. The eyes, which are usually brown or green, should be shaped like a Burmese cat's (not round) and set wide, and their ears are broad, slightly rounded and medium sized and, like the eyes, set wide. The American Bombay should have copper or golden eyes and a jet-black coat (occasionally sable), with the same eye shape, and a rounded head. There should be no edges in the shaping of the Bombay's head, and the ears are also slightly rounded at the tips. This cat also looks like a miniature panther giving it the nickname "the parlor panther". The Bombay has a coat that is short, satiny, high-gloss and tight to the body, thus giving it another name—the Patent Leather Cat. Bombay cats require little grooming. They have personalities like Burmese cats as they are virtually genetically the same - they are fun, loving, very affectionate,curious and active
     Both the American Bombay and British Bombay have unique voices. They are not a traditional "meow", but more of a sort of warble. While some cats are very vocal, others tend to keep quiet. This is perfectly normal and simply reflects the type of personality each individual cat has. Bombay cats are heat-seekers, meaning that they love to be warm and will tend to sleep with their owners, either under the covers or on top of your legs because of the heat you emit. It shouldn't be a surprise if you sit down on the couch and soon after, your Bombay sits next to you. They're very beautiful and affectionate cats that love human attention. They are also known to get along with dogs better than most cats and to have an inclination towards fetching.
In February 2010, The Bombay won "Best Breed of cat" for the first time in 50 years.

Persian Cat.

     The Persian is a longhaired cat characterized by its round face and shortened muzzle. Its name refers to Persia, the former name of Iran, where similar cats are found. Recognized by the cat fancy since the late 19th century, it was developed first by the English, and then mainly by American breeders after the Second World War. In Britain, it is called the Longhair or Persian Longhair.

     The selective breeding carried out by breeders has allowed the development of a wide variety of coat colors, but has also led to the creation of increasingly flat-faced Persians. Favored by fanciers; this head structure can bring with it a number of health problems. As is the case with the Siamese breed, there have been efforts by some breeders to preserve the older type of cat with a more pronounced muzzle, which is more popular with the general public. The hereditary polycystic kidney disease is prevalent in the breed, affecting almost half the population in some countries.

     The placid and homely nature of the Persian confers a propensity for apartment living. It has been the most popular breed in the United States for many years but its popularity has seen a decline in Britain and France.
