A variety of skull shapes are frequently used for discrimination between animal species,
breeds, and sexes. In this study, skulls of three different breeds of cats were examined by the geometric
morphometric method, with the aim of revealing skull shape differences. For this purpose, 27 cats
(6 British Shorthair, 7 Scottish Fold, and 14 Van cats) were used. The skulls of cats were modeled
by computed tomography. Geometric morphometrics was applied using dorsal (8 landmarks,
63 semilandmarks) and lateral (8 landmarks, 63 semilandmarks) skull projections on these models.
Centroid size differences between the breeds were statistically insignificant. However, the differences
in shape were statistically significant for both the dorsal view and lateral view. Shape variation was
less in the British Shorthair than in other breeds. Shape differences generally occurred around the
orbit. In the skull of Scottish Folds, the orbit was situated more caudally than in other breeds. The
Briti...sh Shorthair had the largest orbital ring. In dorsal view, the Scottish Fold had the largest orbital
diameter. The orbital ring of Van cats was smallest in both dorsal and lateral views. In the canonical
variate analysis, it was seen that the breeds were separated from each other. The shape difference in
the skull between different cat breeds could be revealed by geometric morphometrics. The results of
this study provide useful information for taxonomy.
