Rare Cats
Domestic cat breeding has led us to felines with “colorpoint” patterns, which is when the body of the cat is a lighter color, then it has darker coloring around the ears, paws and nose. Though more common than some colorings, it's still considered rare for felines.

Highlander cats are considered rare because they're a purebred exotic breed. Additionally, while recognized by TICA, they're not recognized by other cat registries, so it can be difficult to find this breed.

Senior Cat
Cornish Rex Cats are bubbly, curious companions who seem to get along with everyone. They are affectionate and people-oriented, and get along well with children and other pets. However, since Cornish Rexes love attention from their humans, they don't do well when left alone for a long time.

The Outsiders
With half wild blood and officially recognised by the TICA (The International Cat Association) as a pedigree cat since 1995, the Chausie has made a name for itself within this trend. However, it is still a rare collector's cat outside of the US, the country in which breeding originated.

The Chartreux is a low-chaos, thoughtful cat, not too loud, demanding or dramatic.. They bond well with family, though typically bonding most strongly with just one person, and they are affectionate with everyone they live with, easy to handle and even said to be good travellers - which is not a usual feline trait.
