Tail lengths, too, can vary from a rumpy (1 vertibrae), NST (2-3 vertibrae or ~1 1/2 - 2"), Hock Length (~4") up to a normal length, long tail. Last but not least, Highland Lynx embellish the look of the wild with their often natural short tails (NST) or bobtails. The breed has variations of both short hair and long hair. These cats are not hypoallergenic. Solid colored cats, as well as cats in classic and mackerel tabby, do sometimes occur. Additionally, there are three coat patterns represented by this bread tawny (ticked), leopard (spotted), clouded leopard (or marbled). Highland Lynx display a wide variety of coloring including ebony, blue sorrel, fawn, chocolate, lilac, red, and cream which silvers, cameos, sepias, minks, and snows. Cats that are born with straight feet or ears will not breed kittens with either trait. Some cats are born with normal 'straight' feet. Be careful, they are quite the trouble makers with extra digits, as they learn to grab food, open cabinets, and are quite the climbers. The more toes a cat has, the more desirable. Highland Lynx cats can have one extra digit on each paw (six toes in front, five toes in back), or they can have up to nine toes on their front and/or hind paws. They are medium in size with a body build that is longer, larger, and more muscular than regular house cats, are accompanied by longer hind legs enabling them to run faster and jump longer distances than typical domestic cats, too. Females are slightly larger than domestic house cats ranging from 8-15 lbs while males range from 12-20 lbs at maturity of three years. Looks are exotic and stoic with beautifully colored eyes from blues to greens and golds. Highland Lynx' facial structure is distinguishable as a well-rounded, yet square appearance with prominent whisker pads. Characterized by its' wild appearance, curled ears, polydactyl paws (more than five toes), and unique coloring, this breed is a fun-loving domesticated companion.
