Cat Breeds

The modern, hairless masterpiece 

The Peterbald is one of the youngest recognized cat breeds in the world. 

This breed was first bred in 1994 in Russia by cross-breeding an Oriental Shorthair and a Don Sphinx. The Peterbald was officially recognized as a separate breed in 1997. 

The result? A curiously short-to-no-haired, regal-looking cat that is highly affectionate and sociable, more so than either the Sphinx or the Oriental. The Peterbald is the best of both ancestors, carrying the unusual hairlessness of the Sphinx and the friendly demeanor of the Oriental Shorthair. 

Turkish Van Cats are very elegant and intelligent. 

The Turkish Vans are and very playful. However, their hardiness means they won’t care for your needs. They may play fight with you. This is them trying to teach you how to fight.

They are very friendly towards children and infants. They are high-activity animals. They may display a high-activity energy nickname “THE ZOOMIES”. This may be during the day or night when you’re trying to sleep.
