Introduction to coat variation in cats
Coat variation plays a significant role in the development of new cat breeds. For example, Oriental Exotics trace their origins to Persian cats, created by breeders who favoured a short-coated version of the Persian. Hairless breeds such as the Donskoy, Peterbald, and Sphynx have gained popularity due to their distinctive lack of fur. Meanwhile, breeds like the Selkirk Rex, Devon Rex, Cornish Rex, and German Rex are defined by their unique curly coats.
