American Bobtail Cat
3. The American Bobtail
The Bobtail cat is basically a large cat breed which has a very short tail. The word "bob" is short for Bobbette. Which means cut off. The American Bob Tail cat is not the only known "bob" in this class. There are Japanese Bob tails and also the Kurlian Bob tail. The Bobtail cat’s short or absent tail comes about due to a genetic mutation such as is found in the Manx cat, leading to the development of a stunted tail or no tail at all. The American Bobtail is the largest of the Bobtail cat types, with females averaging 7-11lb and males reaching 12-16lb as standard.

Siberian Cat
8. The Siberian Cat
When cat and Siberia comes together, many people begin to think large tigers. But this Siberian cat I speak of is much smaller than the Siberian Tiger, doesn't take down large preys and you most certainly would not be scared of touching or holding it. I am speaking of the Domestic Siberian Cat. If you are suffering from dander caused by cats that trigger your allergy, then this cat may be right for you as they produce much less Fel D1 protein that is the common allergenic trigger. This chunky, yet firm built cat comes in at 8-12lbs for females and males of 17-22lbs.
