\"SeeI saw a photograph of an Amikoshi Oriential cat for the first time this week. Interesting\u2014kind of cute. But then it\u2019s a cat and cats are cute. For fun I found a site featuring strange breeds of cats and they include the Pixie Bob, a bobcat-type cat; an Elf cat, an extremely rare hybrid from the American curl and the Sphinx; the Canadian Sphinx, which is hairless; the munchkin, with short legs; the Scottish fold with bent ears, and the Egyptian Mau, which is spotted.

My Cat-a-Day calendar for August 18 showed a pretty fluffy rare breed of cat\u2014a Nebelung. This is the long-haired variety of the Russian blue. Sweet looking cat. Here\u2019s a picture and an overview: https:\/\/www.thesprucepets.com\/nebelung-cat-breed-profile-4770585<\/a><\/p>\n
