  • Highland Straight, a.k.a. Scottish Straight Longhair, a semi-long-haired variant of the medium-sized Scottish Straight domestic cat breed (in turn a normal-eared variant of the Scottish Fold, making the Highland Straight the normal-eared version of the Highland Fold)
  • Highlander cat, formerly called the Highland Lynx, a large breed of domestic cat with close-set, often upward-curling ears; related to the American Curl, and not related to the wild lynx species at all
  • Highland wildcat, another name for the Scottish wildcat, a northerly population of the European wildcat subspecies (Felis silvestris silvestris), sometimes classified as the separate subspecies F. s. grampia
    • Kellas cat, a feral hybrid between the Highland wildcat and the domestic cat
