One look at the Scottish Fold and it’s pretty easy to see where he got the second half of his name. Yup, he’s named after his folded ears and yes, he hails from Scotland. The Scottish Fold breed members today can all trace their heritage back to Susie, a white female cat with unusual collapsed ears, who lived as a barn mouser in Scotland. Susie might have lived her life in obscurity but in 1961 a shepherd named William Ross and his wife Mary noticed her. When Susie had kittens with a local tom, realizing the uniqueness of Susie’s 'lop' ears, Mr. Ross acquired one of them, a female he named Snooki. Snooks had kittens, and one, a male was bred to a British Shorthair. Thus began the development of what was first known as “lop-eared cats,” later as Scottish Folds, a nod to their country of origin and their defining characteristic. Scottish Folds were first imported into theUnited States in 1971 by Dr. Neil Todd for research on genetic mutation. One of the cats found his way to Sall...

Baker took a stray domestic longhaired white female that was found running wild in her neighborhood and bred her with another long-haired cat. Nobody knows just which cat breeds Baker used to make the Ragdoll but some guesses are Birman, Burmese, or Persian. The result, however, was the Ragdoll. The breed's popularity quickly caught on, but it also became a source of controversy. Ann Baker invented wild myths about the origins of the breed and created her registry called the International Ragdoll Cat Association. She wanted to enforce strict standards and even went so far as to trademark the name "Ragdoll" so it could only be used with catsat her registry. Her organization, the IRCA is still in existence today but is quite small, particularly since Baker's death in 1997. IRCA cats are ...

          the Maine coon is the oldest cat breed native to America, and it’s possible the breed originated when the Vikings and other European sailors arrived in America with long-haired cats that were bred with native short-haired cats and voila the Maine coon breed was created. Considering this, it’s pretty sad to learn that Maine Coons almost disappeared not a long time ago. Once the stars of cat competitions, MaineCoon cats began losing their popularity in the 1900s, due to other breeds being brought in the country. They were even declared extinct in the 1950s. Luckily this didn’t turn out to be the case. Due to the extraordinary breeding efforts of a few Maine Coon breeders, these cats continued to exist. Nowadays, Maine Coons regained the fame they once held, being Us’s second cat breed in terms of numbers and popularity. You can truly say the Maine Coons were reborn from their own ashes.         They’re often called gentle gi...
