American Curl
American Curl
The first thing you will notice when you look at an American Curl Cat is it's unusual ears. The ears are curled back from the face area towards the center of the back of the skull. If you are used to cats with regular ears, once you see an American curl cat it will look quite abnormal to you. The American curl's ears must be handled delicately in order to prevent any damages to the cartilage in the air. This cat's origin came from what many say was a "Spontaneous mutation" in Lakewood California.
Weight range:
Male: medium: 8-12 lbs.
Female: small: <8 lbs.

Cornish Rex
The Cornish Rex has distinctive large ears set high on a relatively small egg-shaped head. These cats also have high, hallowed cheekbones, a high-bridged Roman nose and a strong chin. The body of the average Cornish Rex is long, slender and muscular, with long thin legs. Their fur lacks guard hairs so the coat is very short and incredibly soft with a "washboard" appearance. Rexes come in up to 42 color variations.
weight: 6 - 10 pounds

Male Munchkins typically weigh between 6 to 9 pounds (3–4 kg) and are usually larger than female Munchkins, which typically weigh between 4 to 8 pounds.

Singapura
This is one of the smallest breeds of cats, noted for its large eyes and ears, brown ticked coat and blunt tail. Reportedly established from three "drain cats" imported from Singapore in the 1970s, it was later revealed that the cats were originally sent to Singapore from the US before they were exported back to the US. Investigations by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) concluded no wrongdoing and the Singapura kept its status as a natural breed.
