Korat  One of the world’s oldest and rarest, even in the 14th century when they lived in monasteries in the Kingdom of Siam, the Korat cat was considered “good luck” and given only rarely to members of the Thai government or foreign government representatives as a special expression of honor. If you’ve ever spotted one of these beauties, with its shimmering blue coat tipped with silver, consider yourself lucky. They are rarely seen at cat shows. Joan describes the Korat as a “real homebody, not fond of loud noise and extremely sensitive to smells.” The  gentle, smart Korat cherishes its owners and familiar surroundings.

Almost everything scientists know about the Bornean bay cat is based on 12 samples, the first of which was a skin collected in 1855 in Sarawak, Malaysia. In the decades following this discovery, seven other skins appeared. It wasn't until 1992 that a living specimen was obtained. Then the species disappeared. It was widely thought to be extinct until a photograph was taken of a single cat in 2003. Now, the photographic record has expanded after photographs were captured by camera traps in 2010 Small Wild Cats, Cats And Kittens, Siamese Cats, Wild Cat Species, Rare Species, Endangered Species

Don't be concerned, the Highlander's ears are supposed to look like that. The breed's origins can be traced back to the highland lynx, along with the desert lynx and jungle curl. This wild ancestry gives the Highlander a "big cat" look. It also  means that the cat has some extra energy to burn off. The Highlander is best suited for a larger space and a home with lots of social interaction. Credit: Alamy Beautiful Pictures, Cat Empire, Purebred Cats, Hybrid Cat

It is such a rare genetic mutation that even if two known carriers of the gene breed mate, there is no guarantee there will be a King cheetah born." -Kimberly Cotter African Cats, Genetic Variation, Endangered Wildlife, Cat Species, Cheater, Cheetahs, Felidae
