The main characteristic of this race is thick and short tail, about one third of normal long-tailed cat. As well as the Manx cat, short tail shape is the result of genetic mutation.
A young couple and a family named Sanders found a male bobtail kitten Tabby brown colored, in the area of Indian cultural heritage located in the southern part of Arizona. It is estimated that the kitten is from a wild Bobcat cat who married the local cat. The young couple was wed male cat with a normal-tailed female cat. Then the kittens was born with a short tail (bobtail). From children bobtail cat american race is formed.

The main difference is the color of Javanese and Balinese pointnya color.
Some clubs such as TICA cat, Javanese and Balinese to classify in one same race that is Balinese. Balinese and Javanese CFA distinguish color from color pointnya. Cats with traditional point color (solid) are seal point, blue point, chocolate point and lilac point is classified as a Balinese. While sienk is having a color point which is non-traditional (non-solid) such as lynx point, tortoishell point, red point, cream point, etc..

Munchkin cats listed today largely the descendants of Blackberry and Toulouse.

American Wirehair (AWH)

At first long-haired cats are not considered important by the breeder, because they do not have the desired characteristics of the race burmilla. However, a small group of breeders trying to develop a long-haired cats are burmilla. Gradually, their efforts began to succeed, race Tiffanie gaining in popularity.

Bengal

History 

A geneticist and breeder cats in California attempted to cross the Asian Leopard Cat with the American Shorthair. Hybridization was conducted to find patterns of wild-catâ œspotted â € €? on domestic cats. Furthermore, children of female offspring is crossed back with his father to produce kittens with spotted pattern which was then known as the race of Bengal.

Roman soldiers carrying a cat to keep agricultural products. The cats are cats called workers, because they have to work to get food. Cats are not kept as pets.
The cats are living independently in the barn and farm with very little influence from humans. Cat population began to flourish. When the Romans left, England are isolated from other parts of the world. For several hundred years no longer import new cat.

Burmese

History  

Early 1930s, Dr. Joseph Thompson of San Francisco imported a dark brown female cat from Burma. Cat named Wong Mau. Because at that moment no cat with the same race, Wong wanted mated with a Siamese cat. Some kids want to have Wong siamese cat characteristics, this indicates that the Burmese cat Wong want is not pure, but the Tonkinese. Because if wong want is Burmese, all the kids with Siamese cats must tonkinese (mink pattern). Wong is known as a cat would tonkinese first.
 

After several generations, began to produce kittens with three different colors and stable properties. The cats were obtained by mating with mink mink-colored cat again.
Burmese race known in the U.S. since 1936 and is recognized by the CFA in 1947. At that time only recognized color Sable, and the early 1960s began to produce other colors. Breeder in the UK's first Burmese imports from U.S. in 1947 and was recognized by its presence there in 1952.

Tonkinese

History
 

Note that there is indicated in brown Siamese cat in the 1800s is actually a cat tonkinese. But the first recorded tonkinese named Wong Mau, a cat who was brought from Burma to the United States there in the 1930s.
In the 1950s, a cat owner in New York who named Milan Greer, began mengembangbiakan cat which he called â € œGolden Siameseâ €??. This resulted from the Golden Siamese Siamese with Burmese cats mating. At first, this breeding program aims to produce a cat with a mahogany color and the color of dark points.
Greer produce cats with œgenetik murniâ € â €? this for five generations. Her cats are very popular around the year 1950-1960. Greer produce brown cat with dark brown color or seal point. After five generations, the greer loses his interest to continue breeding her cats.
Coincidentally, around the beginning of 1960, a fan of cats in Canada, named Margaret Conroy, decided to cross the color siamese sealpoint with colored Burmese Sable (dark brown). At that point Siamese cat does not have the genetic properties of pure and stabilized.
With the help of some friends, Conroy wrote a few standard races and took them to paint the Canadian association. In 1960 the race has been recognized in Canada.

Somali

History
 

Somali cat race is a version of "semi-long hair" from the Abyssinian. Around the year 1920 until the 1930s, from a breeding program, this version of the semi-long hair appeared spontaneously. Some Abyssinian kitten has a tail with a thick feather, inflate like a brush and long hair that covers the entire body.
Long hair is a recessive gene (lost / covered) compared with the short hair gene. At first long-haired cats are not recognized. Many Abyssinian breeders do not want to admit that some of the kittens they produce long-haired, because it shows the genetic impurity Aby cats belong to them. In order to improve the stability of the genetic type of cat Aby, Aby long hairy removed from the breeding program and has been hidden. Only about 1960 breeders in the United States began to develop a long-haired Aby and registered as a separate race called Somali. New Somali in 1978 is considered as one race with genetic traits that is stable and has a class of its own role in the contest held by a cat Cat Fanciers Association (CFA). In 1991 the organization's cat enthusiasts English (Great Britain Cat Association) to recognize and participate in the contest to allow Somali cats.
Somali characteristics similar to the Abyssinian, unless the long fur. As in the Persian exotic longhair and shorthair, persian these two races have similar characteristics, except for feather length. Some other races are also formed from the long fur variations, such as the Cymric (long hair version of the Manx) and Tiffanie (long hair version of burmilla).
