Weird Cats You Secretly Want

Awhile back, I wrote an article called "Exotic Cats You Probably Didn't Know Existed", this is the second edition about "Weird Cats You Secretly Want." A lot of people don't realize there is an abundance of cat breeds out there besides the standard Tabby and Calico. Here is a list of all the other cats out there that are uncommon and would be considered weird an unusual to many cat owners.

Sphynx


First off on this list is of course, the infamous hairless cat. Many people have mixed feelings about these silly critters, but I think they're absolutely adorable. To many they look like alien cats.


Cornish & Devon Rex





These are 2 different cat breeds that I lumped together because they are very similar looking. They look like Sphynx cats with a little bit more hair.


Munchkin

These cute little stubby munchkin is absolutely adorable. They have short little legs and stay tiny and petite forever. These are probably the most popular weird cat.


American Curl

These cats are named after their unique ears. These cats are absolutely adorable and the curling of the ear occurs from a gene mutation.


Turkish Angora

These stunning cats are white and usually have 2 different colored eyes like pictured above. They are considered an ancient cat and are closely related to the Persian.


Manx

These cats are unique because they have little to no tail! Their lack of a tail also occurs from a gene mutation. These cats are not super common but are still extremely cute.


Scottish Fold

Another cat with adorable ears. Like their name, the ears of this cat are folded over, making them look sweet and precious constantly. Most of us have probably seen pictures of them over the Internet. These cats have a cartilage mutation that causes their ears to bend over.

Japanese Bobtail

Just like the Manx, the Japanese Bobtail is another cat with an incomplete tail, however, their tail is more pronounced than the Manx' tall. Thus, giving them the name "bobtail". Their tail is better described as a bunny tail.


Now that you've seen these adorable cats, you won't be able to un-see all their cuteness. Many of these cats you have to get from breeders, just like exotic cats. However, it's worth it. Many people would consider some of these cats ugly, but every cat needs some love.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
