Bengal Cat:

The Bengal cat is a hybrid of the Asian leopard cat and the domestic cat. They are confident, alert, curious, lovably friendly, playful, gregarious and energetic cats. Bengals are not intimidated by water and may even swim with their owners occasionally. They are very popular because of their "glowing" fur. The rarest coats on this type are marbled, snow marbled and snow leopard.

British Shorthair

The British Shorthair originated in Great Britain. They were featured in England's very first cat show at the Crystal Palace of London, thanks to Harrison Weir. This breed is a fairly large miniature teddy-bear with a full round face. British Shorthairs are undemanding, quiet cats who are extremely faithful companions. They are unique in the fact that they show their loyalty to not just one person but the entire family. Return to Top

Burmese

The overall impression of the ideal Burmese would be a cat of medium size and rich, solid color with substantial bone structure, good muscular development and a surprising weight for its size. This, together with its expressive eyes and sweet face, presents a totally distinctive cat which is comparable to no other breed.

The non-pointed Himalayan has the eye color, coat color and pattern of the Persian. Any similarity in type to the Siamese is undesirable.

Persian

The ideal Persian should be a well proportioned, medium to large cat, giving the impression of elegant robust power. The head is massive with small rounded ears, wide set eyes and a short nose presenting a sweet expression. In profile, the forehead, the nose and the chin appear to form a perpendicular line. The body is short and cobby, well balanced with heavy boning and short legs. Tail is in proportion to the body. It is recognized in a variety of colors and patterns.

Siamese

The Siamese is gentle, amenable to handling and gives the appearance of a well balanced cat, both physically and temperamentally. It should "fit together", all parts balanced, without emphasizing any one particular quality. Medium is size, long and svelte. A distinct combination of fine bones and firm solid muscles giving a surprising sensation of solid weight without excessive bulk. A fully mature Siamese, of approximately two (2) years of age, has the grace, elegance and beauty of no other cat. Type over color is preferred at all times.

Siberian

The Siberian is a medium to medium-large, strong cat that hails from a very unforgiving climate … Siberia. They first appeared in recorded history around the year 1000. Oral tradition suggests the Siberian started to migrate towards the herders of animals where they were provided with warmth from a campfire and a few pieces of food scraps, and where their ability to bond to humans became a genetically ingrained survival trait, which buffered them from the harsh winter climate. The Siberian is Russia’s native cat. The overall appearance should be one of strength and force with an excellent physical condition and alertness, with a sweet facial expression. The breed is extremely slow to mature taking as long as 5 years. Adult males are usually larger than the females and allowances should be made for a size differential between males, females and young juveniles. Type takes preference over size. The general impression is one of roundness and circles, rather than the rectangles and triangles of similar breeds.
