What are Highlander Cats like?
Highlanders are known for their one-of-a-kind curved ears and short tails. They were bred from the Desert Lynx and Jungle Curl Cat, resulting in their wild appearance. Like other domesticated cats with wild ancestry, they’re fascinated by water. Their personalities tend to lean towards the energetic side, and they love to play (particularly with children). They’re a great addition to families.
The Highlander cat is a larger breed, weighing between 10 and 20 pounds and up to 22 inches in length. Their coats are mid-length and soft. Registered Highlander Cat breeders will have kittens for sale with solid, tabby, mink, tortoiseshell, pointed and smoke patterns, among other variations.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
