The Uniqueness of these unusual cat in the fact that short legs – not the fruit of the work of breeders, but a natural genetic mutation. Thus, the breed came from quite ordinary domestic cats, the genotype of which has a particular dominant gene “korotkovata”. This explains the variety of shades, colors and hair length.

The fact that in 2007, specialized (and not only) publications began to dazzle information that is derived “the rarest breed of cats in the world”. These extremely smart and loyal person mahalapye create an even and completely hypoallergenic.

However, after a series of genetic examinations it was found that Asher – not that other, as a kind of Savannah – cats are also a rare breed, but are known to the public. But to establish the truth many people fell for such an exotic bait, to pay for kittens for 20 thousand dollars.

Asher is truly a giant of the cat world, because, according to the creators, it has attracted genotype Serval, Asian leopard and domestic cats. Indeed, their height reaches one meter. Can be of several colors, the most rare (there are on average born just four kittens in a year) has a Golden-orange spots, the other cool colors and the most common, with black spots like a leopard.

Ranking of the winners: domestic Serval

So, we discussed the most rare breedcats, a photo and their names are also cited. However, there are three winners. So, home Serval.

But the habits remain wild. Servals – excellent hunters, they love to run, to jump, to catch prey. Breeders should take this into account.

There was a Savannah by crossing the already known Serval and a Siamese cat. In the end, first they got the habits of the predator and spotting and the other quite docile disposition and irrepressible volubility.
