1. yes, do a google search. theres plenty of breeds.2. OMG yes!!! There are hundreds of different breeds that know one has even heard of but they are BEAUTIFUL!!!
3. There is only 4 different breeds. Lions Tigers Bob cats, and crappy house pets. They all pretty much suck
4. it's not generally as extensive of a list as it is with dogs, but there are still quite a few breeds out there. the CFA (the Cat Fancier's Association, which is the cat equal of the dog's AKC) recognizes about 40 breeds, although there are more than that in the world.
here's a list of the ones the CFA registers:

here's also a list that someone has put together of breeds, both recognized ones and newly-developed ones (like the short-legged munchkin cat).
