Cats have been selectively bred for appearance and temperament
for
thousands of years no doubt starting with the first good mousers who
made
themselves useful in the first farmhouses. Recently all sorts of
exciting varieties and cool cat breeds have been developed including
several hairless
breeds and some fabulous felines like the Singapura which is one of the
smallest. Along with different domestic cats
there are an assortment of wild cat/domestic cat crosses that add lots
of spice to the mix. Exotic cats are in vogue too. Many of the
varieties of cats listed here are pedigreed and recognized by the Cat
Fanciers
Association(CFA), the world's largest cat organization. Check them all
out in our exclusive -CatStats-
fact files.

Wondering if you should allow your cat to go outside unsupervised? Well there are definitely some pure breeds that should never be outside cats. Hairless breeds like the Sphynx are extremely vulnerable and should always be supervised outdoors. Docile breeds like the Burmese may not be able to defend themselves. All cats allowed outdoors are exposed to diseases and parasites that they would not otherwise encounter. Fred Flintstone put his saber-tooth out every night, but the cat jumped right back in the window - and he was a saber-tooth! Still, most of us feel a little envy when we see our domestic companion out on some high perch, sniffing the breeze of liberty, and there is no doubt that cats love their freedom.
