00:00 Here are 10 cat breeds that you may have never seen in your life.
00:03 Let's start!
00:04 Let me ask you a question, how many tails does a cat have?
00:08 One, you will answer me.
00:09 Well, it's not always the case.
00:10 Keep watching the video and at some point we will introduce you to an incredible cat
00:14 that may have several tails.
00:15 Yes, I swear, stay focused.
00:17 You know the Sphynx, this cat famous for its naked skin, don't you?
00:22 But do you know the elf cat?
00:24 You've never heard of this cat before, have you?
00:27 Well, know that this is a breed of cat that is from the cross between the Sphynx
00:31 and another breed of cat called American Curl.
00:33 The elf cat was born in 2005 in the United States and, as little as we can say,
00:37 this cat has an extraordinary physique.
00:39 Being a hairless cat like the Sphynx, the elf cat has the particularity of having
00:44 curved ears, like those of elves, hence its name.
00:47 Its atypical physique is scary, of course, but know that the elf cat is a very affectionate,
00:52 sociable and playful cat.
00:53 In addition, it is considered a very intelligent animal.
00:56 The only thing we can blame it for is its need to take a bath all the time.
01:00 Oh yes, as it has no hair, its skin is exposed to the air and secretes sebum, which can
01:05 make it sticky to the touch and even sensitive to certain diseases.
01:07 So just clean it regularly, but be fearless.
01:11 If you ever decide to adopt an elf cat, make sure it won't do its own
01:15 in your shower because, unlike many other cats, this one likes water.
01:18 And then, of course, you will have to protect it from the cold and heat.
01:21 Sit back comfortably and keep your eyes fixed on your screen,
01:26 because we are about to introduce you to a cat of the Mainkun breed, which comes from Russia.
01:30 What makes this young cat so special, and not like the others, is not its giant size,
01:35 but its features, which are more like those of a human.
01:38 Look closely and you will see for yourself.
01:40 Everything on its face, from the shape of its mouth to the roundness of its head, through
01:43 its eyes, recalls the features of an old man.
01:46 Moreover, it is this amazing physical peculiarity of Valkyrie that decided its owners
01:50 to post some of its photos on social networks.
01:53 And as you can guess, the buzz was not long in coming.
01:56 Valkyrie's photos quickly went viral, but the poor cat was afraid of it,
02:00 as it was widely mocked and compared to an old person because of its appearance.
02:04 Fortunately, this is not everyone's life.
02:06 And what do you think?
02:07 Before talking to you about the next cat, tell me, have you ever heard of a cat
02:12 named Frank and Louis?
02:13 An incredible cat that understood everyone when it made its entrance to the Guinness
02:16 Records in 2012 thanks to its striking peculiarity.
02:19 What do you think it is?
02:21 Come on, it's not that difficult if you have the answer, put it in the comments.
02:24 Otherwise, wait patiently because its story is coming in a few moments.
02:27 There are a lot of cat breeds, but some are stranger or rarer than others,
02:32 like the Simric, an English cat from the island of Man.
02:34 This cat is from the crossbreed of two Manks cats, a breed that is known for its long hair.
02:39 At first glance, this round and pocketed cat may seem ordinary to you, except for the fact
02:43 that it has a beautiful silky dress with cute hair.
02:45 But you should know that the Simric has a particularity that characterizes it so well.
02:49 In general, this cat does not have a tail, but this does not make it strange or less
02:53 cuddly than the other cats that have it.
02:55 Indeed, the Simric is considered a very affectionate and very sociable cat, which
03:00 makes it an ideal pet for children or even for the elderly.
03:03 As for its habitat, the Simric can very well live in an apartment or in a house
03:08 with a garden, without any problem, provided that it does not remain alone all the time.
03:12 Giants, it exists in humans, but also in cats.
03:17 Here, for example, is Kefir, a Mankun cat of Russian origin, which surprises everyone
03:22 who sees it for the first time because of its size and impressive weight.
03:25 To give you an idea of its size, this adorable white-haired ball is less than 3 years old,
03:29 and yet, a few months ago, Kefir already weighed more than 12.5 kg.
03:33 Can you imagine that?
03:35 It's more than normal.
03:36 It would therefore not be surprising to see its name featured on the Guinness Book of
03:40 Records as being the biggest cat in the world.
03:42 However, despite its gargantuan aspect that can intimidate more than one of us, Kefir
03:47 is a very nice and very cuddly cat who loves caresses.
03:49 A giant with a tender heart, as they say.
03:51 If you are a big fan of cats, you have probably heard of Frank and Louie.
03:56 It is a two-faced cat, which became famous in the world following its entry into the
04:00 Guinness Book of Records in 2012.
04:02 This cat, which was born with two heads, two mouths, three noses and three eyes, was
04:06 however not destined to live.
04:08 However, despite the congenital malformation which caused him some complications, Frank
04:12 and Louie lived 15 years, which is considered a record.
04:15 But throughout his life, this two-faced cat has never ceased to attract attention and
04:19 the eyes of others.
04:20 And even after his death, he still continues to arouse great curiosity because of his
04:24 unique condition.
04:25 Take a good look at this brown-furred cat.
04:28 This is an Havana Brown, a breed of cat from a cross between Siamese and black domestic
04:34 cats .
04:35 It is also one of the rarest and most extraordinary breeds.
04:39 Those who love breed cats will certainly fall under the charm of this cat because of
04:43 its beautiful short but soft fur, which recalls the color of Havana cigars.
04:47 You now understand where his name comes from.
04:49 Its physical appearance makes it a very particular cat that can seem intimidating.
04:53 However, few people know that this cat of English origin does not characterize its strong
04:58 personality, its characteristic playfulness, its sociability, its calm, its fidelity
05:03 and its intelligence.
05:04 Since its appearance in 1952, the Havana Brown has been enjoyed with great attention by
05:09 breeders and cats lovers in general.
05:12 Not only for its qualities that we have just mentioned, but also for the ease of
05:15 breeding it.
05:16 Unlike some breeds of cats that require a very high level of care or that
05:20 require a lot of care, the Havana Brown does not need a lot of things and does not give
05:25 any slack to its owner.
05:27 The only thing he asks for is to be constantly in the company because this sociable cat does
05:31 not like solitude.
05:32 In addition, it should be noted that the Havana Brown requires good veterinary follow-up,
05:36 especially if it suffers from skin problems such as dandruff or cardiomyopathy.
05:40 A fairly common disease in this breed.
05:43 In Japan, a breed of cat called Yamamaya or Yamamoto cat lives.
05:47 And as you can guess, according to his name, it is a wild cat that lives on the island
05:51 of Yamamoto in the prefecture of Okinawa.
05:54 This cat with brown or dark gray fur with white spots on the back has a long body,
05:59 a big tail and a face that looks like that of a tiger because of its marks.
06:03 A carnivorous animal par excellence, the Yamamoto cat is also considered a
06:07 rusty and very good swimmer who prefers to live in humid areas less than 200 meters
06:12 above sea level.
06:13 However, it turns out that this species of feline that was discovered in 1965 does not
06:18 live anywhere else, which means that you may never meet it, except if you go
06:23 to the island of Yamamoto of course.
06:25 But still, it would be necessary to find it because this cat is not easy to observe.
06:28 In addition, it is on the list of endangered wild species.
06:32 The cause?
06:33 The increase in human activities at the level of its habitat.
06:36 But fortunately, in Japan, the Yamamoto wild cat is now protected by law, and
06:41 Japanese authorities as well as some organizations find solutions today for
06:46 the conservation of this feline species and the preservation of its natural habitat.
06:50 It is not uncommon to come across wild cats in their natural habitat, but know that
06:54 there are species that can surprise you if you ever come across one of them.
06:58 Here, for example, the flat-headed cat, a species of wild cat that lives in Asia,
07:02 especially in Borneo, Sumatra, as well as on the Malay Peninsula.
07:06 This cute-looking little cat looks like a domestic cat with its average size.
07:10 The only difference that distinguishes it from our other feline friends is its long and narrow head,
07:14 which is characterized by a flat forehead.
07:15 Considered a fisher cat, since it likes to feed on fish and frogs, the
07:20 flat-headed cat would prefer the areas that are around the waterfront.
07:23 However, it would be difficult to say more about this wild cat, given that it is
07:27 rare to observe it.
07:28 Luckily, there are photographic traps to take some pictures of these wild cats.
07:33 Some people even had the chance to come across these flat-headed cats by pure chance.
07:37 Did you know that the island of Borneo has an endemic cat species, that is,
07:41 that it can only be found nowhere else but on this island?
07:44 This cat is named Borneo's Chabaï, and it is one of the least known cat species
07:49 in the world.
07:50 Few people know about this cat, and few would be the scientists who have already heard
07:54 about Chabaï.
07:55 Especially since no study has been carried out on this cat in the wild.
07:59 So we don't know everything about its reproduction, its life expectancy and its character.
08:03 However, all those who have had the chance to meet it in its natural environment or
08:06 photograph it have been struck by its appearance.
08:09 We let you look at the images to judge for yourself.
08:11 Whether it is gray or brown-red, the Chabaï has black marks and a long
08:17 tail with a white band.
08:19 However, its size is similar to that of a domestic cat.
08:22 It would be difficult, if not impossible, to compare it to a domestic cat, or even to
08:26 imagine it walking in a garden or in an apartment, like a simple mink.
08:30 Look at this cat!
08:33 This beautiful matoo does not have a single one, but three tails.
08:36 This is what is surprising.
08:37 If you want to know a little more about this cat, know that it lives in Beijing, China,
08:41 and that it was filmed by students who met it, probably by pure chance.
08:45 Like you, these young people certainly fell in love with this little feline
08:49 and started walking around proudly waving its three tails, which are visibly the same size.
08:53 And from what we can see, this cat does not even seem to be embarrassed by this physical
08:57 particularity, which made people talk about it for days on social networks.
09:00 And to finish this video, here is Polly, a cat that lives in Edmonton, Canada.
09:05 As you can see, it is a cat that has nothing extraordinary, except for its beautiful fur,
09:09 of course, and which does not seem to be part of some rare or wild breeds.
09:13 None of that, and yet, Polly is not a cat like the others.
09:16 Do you know why?
09:17 Because Polly has six legs.
09:19 It was by noticing that this wandering good cat had trouble moving that some
09:23 generous people decided to entrust him to a veterinarian.
09:26 The latter therefore studied Polly's case and concluded that it was probably
09:31 two fetuses that had grown inside the uterus and that one ended up absorbing the other.
09:36 As a result, Polly was born after absorbing her twin, keeping two of her legs in addition
09:40 to her own limbs.
09:41 Apart from her difficulty moving, Polly also suffers from other diseases, such as
09:46 hip dysplasia and a raised testicle, which requires surgical operations, because only
09:51 surgery can improve the quality of life of this cat.
09:54 Fortunately, charity organizations exist well in Canada, and a fund has been launched
09:58 to collect the funds necessary to pay for the care Polly needs.
10:02 With a little luck, this cat will also be able to find a good family where it will be able to live
10:06 pleasantly and have happy days.
10:08 We wish you good luck, Polly!
10:10 Now, tell us in the comments, do you have one of these cats or do you know
