How many breeds of domestic cat are there worldwide?
Although it is a matter of some contention, there are approximately 70 breeds of domestic cat recognized by at least one major cat registry. The IPCBA (International Progressive Cat Breeders Alliance) recognizes 73 feline breeds, while the CFF (Cat Fanciers' Federation) recognizes only 32.

What breed of cat has a reputation for being cross-eyed?
Siamese cats are sometimes cross-eyed due to the abnormal uncrossed wiring of their optic chiasm, the part of the brain where the optic nerves partially cross, with those parts of the right eye which see things on the right side connecting to the left side of the brain and vice versa. In some Siamese cats, this wiring is disrupted because there is not enough nerve crossing. In order to compensate for the lack of this connection in their brains, cats with this defect will cross their eyes. Albino tigers sometimes suffer from a similar condition.

What breed of cat has no tail?
The Manx is a breed of cat with a genetic mutation of the spine. Although cats of this breed are sometimes born with a normal tail, they are most often born with either a tiny stub or no tail at all. This spinal defect also produces a noticeable arch from the shoulders to the rump, causing the Manx to hop somewhat when running, giving it an almost rabbit-like stride.
