Many people want a pet. A serious and careful approach is necessary. When we buy a dog, cat, parrot, guinea pig, etc., we all need to understand that we are responsible for it.

For these reasons, many modern people choose cats. They are less annoying, they are not picky and they do not eat a lot of food. The only thing that can be difficult is to choose a breed of cat because there is a huge variety of breeds in nature.
Fluffy, short-haired, calm, temperamental, colorful, and with different colored eyes. All of them deserve special attention. There are rare breeds of cats that, because of their uniqueness and rarity, are included in the Red Book.
These are both newly bred hybrid creatures and those that come to us from the distant past. Their beauty literally seduces everyone and leaves no one indifferent. Not only that, but the price of cats is amazing, and sometimes it can be too high. It is worth taking a closer look at their main representatives.
1-American bearded cat
This amazing animal is one of the rarest cats. The first time people heard about this breed was in 1966. For a long time, American breeders wanted to breed something similar to this cat.
And by crossing American shorthair cats, they ended up with such a natural wonder. This one has a few differences from its cousin. It has a regular head with a square muzzle, a medium-sized nose, and golden eyes.
The body of the cat is regular and well proportioned. The hair is long, with light curls. There are 22 registered animals in the world.

Earlier in the 1960s, unconventional-looking shorthair cats were born in England and immediately attracted attention. The cat’s body can be said to be delicately constructed and covered with soft, curly hair.
The Devon Rex’s large ears attract attention. Cats are so smart that they can quickly learn tricks that are quite difficult for all their fellow cats.

The appearance of these pets is very similar to that of the Persian. The only differences are the blue of their eyes and the rare color of the cat, which is characterized by a lighter coat all over the body and darker colors on the muzzle, legs and tail.
This color combination fascinates animal lovers. The Himalayan cat has inherited all the most amazing characteristics and appearance from its Siamese and Persian ancestors.
The appearance of this breed dates back to 1950. They were first seen in America. It is in every respect between a Persian and a Siamese. They do not have the habit of imposing themselves like the Siamese, they are very active, even more than their Persian ancestors.
Their affectionate, obedient, playful and friendly character attracts the attention of many people. They are calm and gentle creatures.
5-The Scottish Lop
The interest of this cat is first of all due to the originality of its ears, whose shell curves forward in an unusual and unaccustomed way. This ear shape was given to the Scots by a mutation. The first observation of this rare cat in the world was in 1961.
Its country of origin is Scotland. They have many positive qualities. The cats are distinguished by their cunning intelligence, their presence and their playfulness. They have no problem finding a common language with everyone around them.
Their unique character is reflected in their distinctive voice. They don’t purr and meow like most of their cousins. These sounds are more squeaky. What appeals and makes owners smile is their ability to stand on their hind legs.
They can stand on their hind legs for a long time while looking at something that interests them. They are also known for their interesting resting posture. Cats sit with their backs straight and their paws extended. This pose is called the Buddha pose.

We have these beautiful animals from America. In appearance, striped color and large fluffy tail, the cats strongly resemble raccoons, hence the name containing the word coon, which translates to a raccoon.
These heavyweights can weigh anywhere from 5 to 15 kilograms and grow to over a meter in length. But such huge parameters and a fearsome appearance only seem so at first glance. In fact, it’s hard to find a sweeter, more pleasing-looking pet.
Gentle, affectionate, friendly and playful are essential traits. Singing creatures give incredible pleasure to those who hear them.
