There are about 250 different breeds of domestic cats, with the most varied sizes, weights, colors and even types of fur. Yes… not every cat has smooth fur, for example, did you know?

We, here at the editorial office of awesome.clubwe simply love animals and that’s why we decided to show you a small example of how felines manage to be very “different” among themselves.
