Funny cats will sure entertain you and please you. Funny animals are waiting for you to discover.
There are many cat breeds out there. There are many domestic cat breeds, wild cats and domestic-wild cat hybrids. There are established breeds recognized by various cat registries, new and experimental breeds, landraces being established as standardized breeds, distinct domestic populations not being actively developed and so-called lapsed (extinct) breeds.
As of 2019, The International Cat Association (TICA) recognizes 71 standardized breeds, the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) recognizes 44, and the Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) recognizes 43.
The domestic short-haired and domestic long-haired cat types are not breeds, but terms used (with various spellings) in the cat fancy to describe "mongrel" cats by coat length, ones that do not really belong to a particular breed. Some registries permit them to be pedigreed and they have been used as foundation stock in the establishment of certain some breeds. They should not be really confused with so-called standardized breeds with similar names, such as the British Shorthair and Oriental Longhair.
