Ginger Tabby
Ragdoll
Siemese
and thats all I know of the top of my head! (im tired)
but their's many more.

2. LOL at the other answer with COLOURS, not breeds, and colours that aren't even official cat colours. There's no "Ginger" or "Grey" in cat colours. Dark orange is Red, light orange is Cream, dark gray is Blue and light gray is Silver. And "Tabby" is a coat pattern.

TICA currently recognizes 55 breeds - http://tica.org/public/breeds.php

CFA currently recognizes 40 breeds - http://www.cfa.org/client/breeds.aspx

The ACFA currently recognizes 53 breeds - http://www.acfacat.com/breed_synopsis.htm

But these breeds only make up 3% of the cats on this entire planet. Most cats are simply "domestics" - cats of no particular breed.
