About the Highlander
The Highlander is a recently developed American breed, created by crossing Desert Lynx and Jungle Curl cats to produce a large, athletic cat with a wild appearance but a domestic temperament. It is defined by its unique physical markers: a short, bobbed tail and distinctive, backward-curling ears. This semi-longhaired breed is muscular, powerful, and known for its dog-like, playful, and confident personality.
