5 - Sphynx \r
This creepy looking nearly hairless breed of cat was developed through selective breeding which began in the 1960s, for real, we made these demonic-looking kitties on purpose. These bizarre looking cats have fine, almost silky feeling skin due to their incredibly short soft fur which is so minuscule in size it is almost invisible to the naked human eye. It is possible for these strange felines to grow whiskers and eyebrows but they very rarely do. These little less than adorable kitties, though some find them absolutely enchanting, are best known for features such as wedge-shaped heads, prominent cheekbones, large bulging eyeballs, muscular necks, pot bellies, paw pads and whiplike tails. You know, these creepy extroverted intelligent prune-looking kitties are starting to grow on me.\r

4 - Pixie-Bob \r
This next breed of kitty is known for growing quite large by domestic standards sometimes weighing 11 pounds or more and appear, you guessed it, nearly exly like a miniature bobcat. Bred from exotic looking stray and wild cats, these strange felines rarely meow, instead, they communicate with cute squeaky chirping sounds. Known for their intelligent nature, these kitties are ideal for training to walk on leashes and to play fetch, they can most commonly be found trailing after their owners like little obedient shadows. These smart kitties are said to be capable of understanding some human words and commands. Like the North American Bobcat, these adorable mounds of fuzz have black fur and skin on the bottom of their paws, tipped ears, stubby tails, black lips, white fur surrounding their black eye skin, white furry chins, and their spotted fur patterns have reddish tones sometimes mixed in. \r

Some of these felines have two eye colors, most commonly blue and amber.

The legend goes that a man who owned one of these kitties was sitting under a tree when he noticed his cat beckoning to him with its paw, he rose and started toward the direction of his cat, when a branch fell right where he had been sitting, it would have crushed him dead if not for the warning of his inviting cat. From this story, the Japanese Bobtail has earned the nickname of Lucky Cat, Beckoning Cat and Inviting Cat and is now a popular token of good luck which can be found in nearly every gift shop in Japan and lining every shelf of most Chinatowns round the world. \r
