With only around 120 adults left in the wild, the Amur leopard could be the most endangered big cat on Earth.
The Sokoke cat is said to be the rarest cat in the world. Rather than being a man-created breed, the Sosoke is a naturally occurring, tiny wildcat that can be found only in the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Preserve in Kenya (Africa).
An additional 8-12 leopards were counted in adjacent areas of China, meaning the number of Amur leopards, a rare subspecies considered the world's rarest wild cat, has more than doubled over the past seven years.
The Lykoi (commonly called wolf cat or werewolf cat) is a natural mutation from a domestic short-haired cat. The mutation has occurred in domestic cats over the last 20 years. DNA testing has been done by UC Davis to confirm that the cats do not carry the Sphynx/Devon Rex gene.
Are Bombay Cats Rare? Yes, Bombays are a rare cat breed. This domesticated cat is bred to look like a wild cat and they resemble a black panther with beautiful copper eyes. While there are many black cats that are various breeds, few are actually considered a true Bombay.
Black Is the Most Common Feline Coat Color
It is not a glitch in the matrix; black is actually the most common coat color among felines. The gene for expressing eumelanin—the pigment needed to make black fur—is dominant in black cats.
Flame Point Siamese cats are one of the world's most expensive cat breeds. Not only because they can be rare but also because they are in high demand. While they may have a fiery exterior, they are lovable and intelligent companions.
But not all cats are this amiable or this compliant. Some have an agenda of their own and seemingly refuse to take no for an answer. These are "alpha cats." They are natural leaders; they refuse to be led and attempt to take charge of practically every situation.
The cats are bigger than a typical house cat, and have large, ringed tails and “highly developed” canine teeth. Because of their appearance, they are known locally as chat-renard, or “cat-fox.” They hunt nocturnally and, from the looks of it, are just thrilled by all of the attention.

Female ginger cats are very rare because of genetics. The red colour is in fact dependent on the Orange gene with a dominant 'O' and a recessive 'o' gene. Its peculiarity is that it can only be transmitted by females.
So while female orange cats are not rare, females are just as likely to inherit genes for other colors, making them tortoiseshells or patched tabbies.
Foxes and dogs diverged (that is, veered off from their common ancestor and became separate species) over 7 million years ago, and have evolved into very different creatures that cannot cross-breed.
But creating hybrids of animals that are very genetically distinct from each other—such as a dog and a cat—is scientifically impossible, as is one species giving birth to an entirely different one. That has not stopped people from hoping.
Ringtail are sometimes wrongly called ringtail-cats or miners cats. They are not related to cats at all. Their relatives include the coati and the racoon.
All are Greek mythological hybrid feline creatures; the Chimera, the Sphinx, and the Nemean Lion, or Leo, were pedigreed monster siblings from a fierce family that wreaked havoc on humans across the countryside with no Cat Daddy to call for help.
The Lykoi breed of domestic cat (its name comes from the Greek word lykos, or wolf) has an unusual genetic mutation that causes its hair to grow in a werewolflike way. The skin around the cat's eyes, muzzle and chin is hairless, making it resemble a human-turned-werewolf.
