Personality: While it is the Burmese's appearance that first may attract notice, it's the breed's personality that inspires lifelong devotion. They are considered incredibly loving, intelligent, people-oriented and inquisitive. A champion cuddler who prefers to sleep under the covers with you, sit in your lap rather than beside you and will drape around your neck or sit on your shoulder. They are devoted to their people and require regular affection and interaction to thrive. Many will play fetch readily and are easily trained. A closed door is a challenge they will work hard to overcome.
Appearance: A medium-size cat with surprising weight for its size and a glossy, short, close coat. A rounded head, large, expressive golden eyes and sweet expression dominate their appearance.

Personality: Owners often find themselves negotiating an agreement with these intelligent cats about behavior. These friendly and devoted cats tend to pick a favorite person and form strong bonds with the family dog. Although Chartreux communicate in squeaks and chirps, they can create a large, rumbling purr.
Appearance: The robust body features a broad chest and relatively fine-boned legs. The broad head, with powerful jaws and pronounced cheeks, terminates with a small, tapered muzzle. Blue remains the only acceptable color for this cat, although it may vary from light ash to deep slate. The mature adult should have a silver-tipped, woolly, dense coat. The eyes should be brilliant orange.

Personality: Highly affectionate and active. Chausies demand attention and reward it with obvious affection. Highly intelligent with feral grace and agility. Their antics can be enormously entertaining, but their high energy level can be exhausting.
Appearance: The Chausie, which has also been called the Nile Cat because of its ancient Egyptian heritage, retains the tall, leggy, long-bodied look of its Jungle Cat ancestor; the lean, agile physique of an athlete. The medium-size, gently wedge-shaped head features a long, square muzzle and strong chin. Prominent ears set upright and are wide at the base, tapering to slightly rounded points, which ideally are topped with longer hair tufts, giving the Chausie a wild lynx look. Chausies have long-muscled legs built for running, and their large, powerful hindquarters attest to their tremendous leaping ability. Tails can range from the preferred three-quarter length of the Jungle Cat, which has fewer vertebrae, to full length. Chausies are large cats, typically weighing 16 to 20 pounds and sometimes reaching 16'' at the shoulder. Females generally run one-third smaller.

The Devon Rex's coat, much like that of the other Rex breeds, is delicate, short and curly. The Devon Rex is a small breed, with a friendly and comical personality that matches its charming appearance.

Personality: Maus demonstrate extreme intelligence and fierce loyalty to their families. While gregarious and interactive, they can express shyness with strangers. They love human companionship, but on their own terms. When happy, Maus often express themselves using little chortling sounds and wiggling their tails. Moderately active, Maus love to play with moving things. They have been known to steal judges' toys and refuse to relinquish them.
Appearance: The Egyptian Mau is the only naturally occurring spotted domestic cat. The spots can appear large or small, but must be randomly placed and distinct from the lighter background color. Dramatic tabby markings include the "M" on the forehead and mascara lines from the eyes to the cheeks. Legs and tail sport multiple bars and rings. At least one necklace adorns the chest area. The cat's body possesses the lean and elegant lines of the cats in Egyptian paintings. Females range from 6 to 8 pounds, while males can weigh up to 12 pounds. Eyes are a gooseberry-green in color.

Personality: This sociable, affectionate and intelligent companion instinctively knows when to give and when to demand attention. It is quiet and gentle with a soft voice (most of the time). The Havana Brown often uses its paws to investigate by touching and feeling, as well as using the "wounded paw" technique to elicit sympathy. Quick, agile and playful, this cat thrives on human companionship.
Appearance: Two features separate the Havana Brown from any other breed. The first, and most obvious is a glistening mahogany-brown coat. Medium short and close lying, it glows with reddish highlights and should be sound to the roots. (TICA accepts lilac Havanas.) The second feature is a distinctive "corn cob" muzzle that appears added to the skull rather than flowing from it. Unlike any other breed of cat, the whiskers are the same brown as the coat. The cat's medium-sized body should be firm and muscular but not tubular like a Siamese. Males tend to be larger, weighing 8 to 10 pounds, while females average 6 to 8. Large, oval green eyes give the cat a sultry look.

Personality: Despite their distant Siamese genes, Himalayans share the easygoing personality of Persians. They are quiet and gentle yet playful, affectionate and willing participants in family activities.
Appearance: Named after similarly marked Himalayan rabbits, Himalayan cats have the best of both worlds: the striking pointed markings of the Siamese and the long, luxurious coat, cobby body, trademark short nose, large round eyes and small ears of the Persian. With blue eyes gorgeous enough to make any copper-eyed Persian jealous, they are truly a sight to behold.

Personality: This playful, social cat demands interaction. The cat will want to participate in all family activities. They are stable, not high-strung, and will show affection to family and friends. The cat produces quiet chirps, hums and meows. A born retriever, Japanese Bobtails love a good game of fetch.
Appearance: The Japanese Bobtail is a medium-sized cat; females weigh approximately 6 pounds and males approximately 8. The lean and muscular body should never have the tubular look of the Oriental or Siamese. Legs are long and slender with the taller hind legs carried at a deep angle so the back appears level. Every cat has a unique tail, which can have any combination of curves, angles and kinks, but may not exceed 3 inches in length. The tail is movable at the base and can be very expressive. High cheekbones and a distinct slant to the eyes complete the chiseled Oriental look. The coat can be short, soft and silky or semi-long with britches and a neck ruff.
