New states of electromagnetic field, i.e. even and odd negative binomial states are introduced here. These states interpolate between the even (odd) coherent states and the even (odd) quasi-thermal states. Various statistical properties of these states such as the mean photon number, second-order coherence function, normal squeezing are calculated. The Wigner function for these states are also discussed. These results may be useful for carrying out systematic study of the non-classical properties of `Schrödinger cat states' as one moves from even (odd) coherent state to even (odd) quasi-thermal state.
