2. Sphynx

This hairless cat breed was developed in the 1960s through selective breeding. Did you know that, despite their appearance, these cats aren't truly hairless? Instead, their skin is coated in tiny hairs that are believed to have a chamois-like texture. They lose more body heat as a result of this than their hairless counterparts.

Because of its amiable attitude toward outsiders and the fact that they welcome their owners at the door, the Sphynx has been described as more dog-like than a cat They live to be approximately 13 to 14 years old and require a bath every 1 to 2 weeks due to the buildup of oils on their bodies.

6. Caracal

This wild cat is known for being quite secretive which makes it rather difficult to observe and can be found living in the regions of Persia, Africa, the Middle East, and etc. What makes it even more difficult to study is that these cats are mostly nocturnal and typically live alone or sometimes in pairs.

Caracals live off of a diet of small rodents, birds, and mammals but unfortunately, their habit is being threatened by agricultural expansion and desertification, which is why they’re classified as Least Concern. Female caracals are capable of reproducing a litter of around 1-6 kittens that usually go off on their own around 9 to 10 months, however, some females will stay behind for a little longer.

8. British Shorthair

The British Shorthair remains the most famous pedigreed breed in all of Great Britain, despite being one of the oldest breeds known to exist. This is the cat that inspired another famous cat in literature, Alice in Wonderland's Cheshire Cat, as well as the meme "I Can Has Cheeseburger?"

Norwegian Forest Cats are a domestic cat breed that originated in Northern Europe.

10. Minskin

The Minskin cat gets its name from its small stature and cashmere-soft, sparsely covered skin, which is emphasized by short, silky fur “points” on the face, ears, legs, and tail. The Minskin’s have only been around for a decade. They were first produced in Boston in 1998 by breeder Paul McSorley, who crossed the Sphynx with the Munchkin to get the look and personality he desired.

Those kitties appear to be in good health. The Minskin has a short, non-shedding coat that is simple to maintain. Regular washing with a gentle shampoo, as with sphynxes, is required to keep the skin supple and healthy.
