Kitties Galore

From hairless cats with batlike ears and grumpy faces (but not demeanors) to curly-haired and folded-ear varieties to those that look like they could exist in the wild, we've rounded up 25 feline breeds — in honor of National Cat Day, Oct. 29 — that illustrate the diversity of the species.

Selkirk Rex

Not all cats of this breed have curly coats, but those that do will first start to lose their curls, then gain them back as they approach one year old and increase in curliness until the cat reaches around 2 years of age. The breed gets along well with people, other cats, and friendly dogs.

Canadian Sphynx

This cat breed didn't exist before 1966, when a domestic cat in Toronto gave birth to a hairless kitten, the result of a genetic mutation. Sphynx cats might not always look friendly, but their temperaments are actually quite cuddly. They're named after the Egyptian cat sculpture they resemble.

Munchkin

There were reports of Munchkin cats as early as the 1930s, but there weren't officially established as a breed until 1983. This friendly breed likes to play with dogs and children and is characterized by its short legs.

Elf Cat

The Elf cat is a hybrid of the American Curl and Sphynx breeds and is considered extremely rare. It was introduced in 2004 by Karen Nelson and Kristen Leedom, a pair of cat enthusiasts and breeders. The breed is sociable, gentle, adaptable, and friendly — just like the breeds it's been adapted from.

Japanese Bobtail

Japanese Bobtails are one of the oldest cat breeds — they've been around since at least the 6th century — and are characterized by their lack of a tail, athletic nature, and sweet and sociable temperament.
