Meowy Monday – Introducing the Newest Cat Breeds on the Block

Who says there’s nothing new under the sun? Just when I think I’ve researched the latest and most unusual cat breeds, I stumble upon a site with 15 of the newest cat breeds and actually find some I haven’t heard of. Here’s the link so you can see pictures of these unique cats and learn more about them. https://petkeen.com/newest-cat-breeds/ I do hope, however, that you’ll support your local cat shelter and rescue when you’re ready to add a fur baby to your home rather than encourage breeders to add to the problem of cat homelessness.

Here are a few of the most unusual cats I found listed: The Highlander—a cross between the Desert Lynx and the Jungle Cat. Evidently this new cat is still in the experimental stage, but basically it will mature to weigh 10 to 20 pounds, it’s polydactyl, has curly ears, and these cats love being in the water.

Aphrodite (also called the Cypress Cat because it was found in the mountains of Cypress) is also a large cat. He’ll weigh in at 11 to 24 pounds.

You might have heard of the Cheetoh and the Ojos Azules (Blue Eyes), but what about the tiniest cats—the Minskin, weighing only 4 to 6 pounds and the ToyBob, another very small breed.

The newest breed on the block is the Tennessee Rex, which is a natural mutation. This cat has a curly, satin-like coat. There’s a picture of him at this website, as well.

Enjoy the tour through this gourmet collection of cats. Which one would you most like to share your home with? Again, don’t forget about all of the cats that are already here and that need a loving home. They come in a smorgasbord of ages, sizes, colors, and temperament. We share our home with two rescues who, if kind and caring people hadn’t intervened, would either be running wild and trying to fend for themselves still or be dead from starvation, extremes in weather, or another of the many dangers for outdoor cats.
