The Highlander has physical traits that resemble that of a wildcat, making it a truly unique looking breed. It was created in 2004 when two hybrid breeds, the Desert Lynx and the Jungle Curl, were crossed. Because it was produced from two hybrids, though, this breed does not actually have any wildcat genes, so it is a docile and playful companion. Originally named the Highland Lynx, the name was changed to Highlander in 2005.The most defining and recognizable feature of the Highlander is its adorable loosely curled ears. The ears can curl back a lot or a little, so this feature varies amongst individuals. Kittens are not born with the curled ears; rather, they are born with straight ears that curl over the course of about two weeks as they develop.Polydactyl paws are another noteworthy feature of the Highlander. This means that they have extra toes, which means they may be able to get into mischief more easily than other cats.The tail is also very short on Highlander cats. It is naturally occurring, so kittens are born with a bobbed tail that can range in length from roughly 2 to 6 inches. Not all kittens are born with bobtails or extra toes and some remain with straight ears. Breeders sometimes dock the tails or leave them long.Get your copy today by scrolling up and clicking Buy Now to get your copy today
