It's favourite season of the year is Autumn and it has large ears to find the source of every rustle and a warm shorty pullover to keep its upper body warm. Its lower half is also provided for, with an especially fluffy tail. Like all breeds of cats, it wishes only to be adored, well fed, amused often and to have access to a warm friendly lap at all times. It has been known to be addictive.

Ahhh... the lithe beauty and all-too-knowing naughtiness of the oriental with those forest cat innocent eyes. A match made in heaven... or maybe just in Wales :) Enjoy...

This interesting breed is being developed by Steph, who is only 13 years old. It is good to see a youngster with such enthusiasm for cat breeding - keep it up Steph!

Bred chiefly for its watchman qualities, the 4eyed cat is also an expert at decorating your newly washed floor with paw prints and turning your favorite furniture into ribbons.

The extra eyes come in handy when the cat is chasing things that are not there, or staring at things that don't exist.

The eyes enable the cat to make the owner feel doubly guilty for not paying it enough attention, paying it too much attention, your very existence on the planet, the use of the air that you are breathing.

The Beacon - native to the cold waters of Greenland
gets its name from being a dark beacon in the snowy region.. That's right WATERS! This fishercat has a longhaired coat starting at the back of its head, moving down the top half of the cat's body to half its tail, and over its shoulders. Its belly, face, and tip of the tail, and paws are smooth coated, giving the cat a fox-like appearance. Patterns in the coat may differ slightly, but the coloration is camouflauge for forest dwelling. Their thick fur acts as a windbreaker, and armour. They can be tamed, and make loyal, though overprotective one-person pets. Someone keeping this cat would have to brush it constantly, as the fur mats, and stiffens naturally for protection from the elements. They travel in large hordes, and are not prone to health problems or shedding. An average litter is 5-9 kittens, born with solid white thick fur to be hidden in snow tunnels. Their patterns darken as they hit sexual maturity around 4 months of age, two months sooner than normal domestic breeds. Inbreeding has no ill effect, and they seem virtually immune to disease.

This breed is renowned for its majestic furry bib, which provides an eye-catching contrast to its lithe, spotty body and slim legs. It is hardy and affectionate, but is rather prone to shedding.

Despite its enormous size, the fatcat makes a very affectionate pet. It is incredibly intelligent, and very, very strong.

If you have several cats, you can rely on a fatcat to take care of the others when you need to be away for a couple of days: it will open ringpull cans of food with its paws, and turn taps on and off as necessary for all the cats to have enough to eat and drink.

Commercial petfood, however, is not its favourite. Given a free rein, the fatcat prefers to eat frogs, which it swallows whole - hence its nickname: the frog cat.

With ancestors originating from Pomerania, the Percosian is a medium sized cat, with a strong personality and excellent temperament. It has a unique feature, the so-called "Percosian shawl", which keeps it cool in summer and warm in winter. This is vestigial at birth, but usually fully developed by the age of 14 months.

A new and exceptionally holy breed which is becoming popular among American clergy. Specimens should have clear green eyes, a distinctive 'cross' marking, and a visible halo.
