Some of these races you might consider Abyssinian cats, which look much like a Siamese, with the exception of coloring; Exotic Shorthairs, which have the appearance of royalty, with less fur, Maine Coon cats with their trademark or missing stubby tail; Bengals, who are in fact a hybrid between a Bengal cat and a domestic cat.
Almost all of the 40 breeds recognized by The Cat Fanciers' Association were represented - a snub-nosed Persian peered out from her pink carrier with lace trim, while a team of British Shorthairs lounged in a cage adorned with several Union Jack flags.
There will be many breeds of cats at the show, including ragdolls, Maine coons, Abyssinians, Siamese, American shorthairs, British shorthairs, Oriental shorthairs, Devon Rex, Cornish Rex , exotic shorthairs and longhair folds.
