There is probably no animal lover who would not love cats. These creatures contain grace, elegance, willfulness, kindness, affection, and mystical spirit. In this huge article, you can find the most beautiful cat breeds.
A cat is as fickle as spring weather: just when it purred softly and rubbed against your leg, it released its claws or proudly walked away a second later. That’s probably why we love them. After all, predicting what the next moment will do purr is impossible. And solving mysteries is so attractive to humans!
If someone has a cat in the house, its personality will be discussed in friendly conversations. Cat people can spend hours talking about the advantages and disadvantages of favorites. And, of course, about the most beautiful breed of domestic cats in the world. Undoubtedly, all cats are lovely, but they, like people, have their own “races.”
Let’s take a look at our ranking of beautiful pedigreed cats!
Abyssinian cat
This is one of the oldest breeds in Ethiopia or Egypt. Currently, there are two directions of Abyssinians: American and European. The difference is that the European branch looks slightly heavier than the American one.
Abyssinian cats resemble pumas: their brownish-sandy wild color, light coat, and black arrows near the eyes can please any cat lover. The coat itself is also remarkable: it shimmers beautifully, all because of the peculiarity of the hair color, which is called ticking.
The Abyssinian cat is characterized by high activity. It cares about everything; it needs to know what is happening in the house and the mood the owner is in. The Abyssinian cat rarely releases its claws during play and adequately accepts children.
The nightmare of all owners is torn-up upholstered furniture, but Abyssinians excel here, too! If contact and trust are established with the animal, you can forget about such troubles;
You should not leave fragile, breakable objects unattended and close the windows with a net to avoid unforeseen situations. However, this applies not only to beautiful Abyssinians but also to all cats.

American Shorthair
You’ve all seen the Whiskas commercial, right? But this is the very cat from the commercial! Beautiful, graceful, with unusual coloring and a feminine languid look;
The breed originated in the 16th century and was initially an unremarkable rat catcher. Extended selection did its job, and now we can see one of the most beautiful cats on the planet.
These purrs have a balanced psyche and good health. They are a bit willy-nilly and leisurely. But this does not mean the pet can not treat the owner with a grasshopper, fly, or mouse. So the cat cares for the pack members; you are undoubtedly one of them! Therefore, scolding the animal in any case is not allowed. This will put it in a deadlock, and you may lose trust.
Surprisingly, these mustangs know when to play and when it is better to go about their business. He does not impose their communication, preferring to observe the event from afar, occasionally condescending and jumping on your lap. Therefore, if you are busy, you are better than an American; you will not find it!
The American Shorthair will get along quickly with a dog, but there’s no need to tease its instincts with something like a bird or chinchilla. Although these cats don’t like sitting on your hands and are a bit verbal, they are kind to children and can learn the training basics.
Interestingly, the cat in the commercial has the most popular color (silver marbled), but there are dozens of them!

Angora cat
The Turkish Angora is a beautiful white cat with blue eyes. Its fur flows as it moves like silk threads, and watching this animal is a true aesthetic pleasure!
This breed is also among the ancient breeds, and it appeared, as it is clear from the name of the breed, in the place of modern Turkey. It was the Angora that became the country’s national treasure.
Angora has fantastic intelligence and is very observant, so if you have hidden something from her, do not doubt that the cat will persistently search for the disappearance. This can be compared to a bloodhound following the trail.
Angora cat is not fearful, so at the sight of guests, it will not frantically huddle under the sofa and gracefully come out to see what happened in this world and why it is unaware of the situation.
If you don’t like noise, the Angora will suit you like no other. They practically do not meow. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but most Angoras are silent. Â
The color of the Angora cat can be pure white, blue, black, red, or cream. Although people prefer white fur, angora can be different.
And the eyes! You’d give the whole world for a pair of sapphires! But there can be exceptions. There are cats with both blue and yellow eyes. However, individuals with different eye colors are valued more. And it happens that different-eyed males are born deaf.

Bengal cat
Bengals are a very young breed of beautiful cats bred in the United States by crossing wild Asian and purebred individuals. The purpose of breeding was to create a breed distinguished by a distinct leopard coloring and an affectionate “domestic” character. And it should be said that the breeders succeeded in their endeavors.
A Bengal cat can be wild only if it belongs to the first three generations of hybrids. But at the moment, it is unlikely, especially if you buy a kitten from a severe catterie.
The character of the Bengal cat is balanced and moderately inquisitive. To raise a social animal, it is necessary to constantly contact it from the first days of its birth.
Since the ancestors of Bengals are wild cats, their hunting instincts are powerful. Everything that they will consider their prey will turn out to be. Birds, rodents, insects – these are potential objects for hunting. And even aquarium inhabitants! Do not forget that Asian cats are not afraid of water, so they will be happy to fish out of the aquarium some sluggish axolotl.
A Bengal cat won’t pester you for attention. The genes of their jungle ancestors make cats stay independent of humans. If you take a Bengal in your arms, it is likely to leave immediately. It is better to wait until the cat is in the right mood and will come to you.
At the same time, the Bengals do not lack energy and vitality. The cat needs to be exercised, played with, and entertained. If there is no energy outlet, furniture, wallpaper, and the like may start to scratch.
Bengals have different colors, from chocolate to blue, but the breed requires a sharp contrast between the primary color and pattern. An unusual shimmering distinguishes cats’ fur due to the uneven coloring of hairs.
The Bengal, like all Oriental cats, is very talkative. Its arsenal consists of various sounds, from meowing to grunting, and soon, you will understand what your beautiful cat wants to say.

Burmese cat
The Burma is an ancient breed that originated in what is now Myanmar. No one knows in what century and even less the year it happened, but it was officially registered only in the 20s of the last century.
Burmese cats lived in monasteries, protected Buddhist monks from evil spirits, and guided them to the next world. It was believed that if a monk did not reach the afterlife after death, he returned to our world as a cat.
The Sacred Burma is a brilliant cat. It listens to its owner’s words carefully and analyzes what is said. At the same time, the Burmese cat’s character can not be called too playful or too phlegmatic. This cat has found the golden mean!
Kind and affectionate but very persistent, Burma will achieve its goals at all costs. If the cat wants something, it is easier to give it to her; otherwise, she will take it all by herself.
By the way, unlike many breeds, the Burmese likes to be on the owner’s lap. You can put it to yourself, and it will gladly curl up in a ball, and its gentle purring has a calming effect on the nervous system.
The Burmese cat is entirely independent and subject to mood swings. If a misbehaving animal is punished too severely, it may become seriously offended, even to the point of rejecting the offender.
Burma quickly gets along with other animals and tolerates separation from the owner. However, it is not alien to the sense of ownership, and if you give another pet more attention, the cat can even get jealous, which is expressed in inappropriate behavior.

Bombay cat
No, the breed was not bred in India, if that’s what you think. The Bombay cat results from an American breeder’s efforts to create a breed similar to the black leopard (aka panther). By crossing sable burma and short-haired American black color, this black satin wonder with copper or green predatory eyes appeared.
However, the Bombay’s appearance remained only a shell: It is an affectionate cat that inherits only the best traits from both breeds. It is equally friendly with small children and other pets.
Bombay doesn’t tolerate loneliness. No matter what you do, the cat will follow you everywhere. Cleaning? – Great, let’s see how well the dusting is done! Are you cooking dinner? – What’s on the menu tonight? Can I have a bite?
Black Bombay cats usually do not single out a favorite owner in the family and treat everyone with equal adoration. They love to play, but they will gladly curl up on your lap any chance they get.

British cat
The British cat is an ancient breed only recognized in the 19th century. Until then, it was a common ratcatcher living with peasants.
The British cat is a beautiful, solidly built, balanced animal with plush fur. Those who know a little about cats will always distinguish a British cat from another breed. But this is about the short-haired kind. There is also a long-haired British cat, the origin of which is suspected Persian, but this is not certain)
Бritan cat has a unique smile, which made it the prototype of the famous Cheshire Cat from the fairy tale “Alice in Wonderland.” The cat’s life is spent with such a detached face: it is very independent, does not like to be petted, and allows itself to be picked up without much delight.
At the same time, British cats are undemanding, neither in care nor in communication. Of course, the cat will control where you are going, but it will not worry much if you go to visit. It will sleep or contemplate the outside world, comfortably nestled on the windowsill.
A characteristic feature of the Britishers is that, as kittens, they are full of strength and energy, but with the onset of maturity, they become couch potatoes who have “learned life.”

Burmilla
Burmilla is a beautiful, good-natured cat that appeared due to the crossing of a Persian chinchilla and a Burmese cat. A distinctive feature of the breed is a silver coat. It is a pretty rare and, therefore, expensive cat.
The Burmilla has taken a calm domestic character from the Persians and talkativeness and canine devotion from the Burmese. The result is a cat that will willingly sit on your lap while commenting on everything around it.
Burmilla will gladly participate in children’s games but will do so carefully so as not to hurt anyone. He is just as enthusiastic about welcoming guests to your home.

Caraquet
The story of the caracal is as unique as nature itself. A wild caracal accidentally crossed with an ordinary cat in the Moscow zoo. A boy was born, outwardly resembling a caracal, but he was infertile, as all hybrids up to the 5th generation cannot reproduce offspring.
Both our own and foreign breeders then developed the new breed. Three generations of kittens have been possible, and the breed can be recognized only from the fourth. Caracals are crossed with Abyssinians, Orientals, Bengal cats, and Serengeti.
Karaket is a beautiful cat that looks very similar to a caracal but is characterized by a balanced psyche. She can be played with and scratched behind the ear but distrusts strangers, although she does not attack them.
Since wild genes are strong in parakeets, the coexistence of a cat with other animals can end miserably: the mustache face will define the opponent in the rank of prey. And if you take into account the cat’s large size, the prey can be any animal living in the house.
In any case, the breed’s development continues and is already a competitor to the well-known savannah.

Кimrik
The Kimrick is a cat native to the Isle of Man. The individuals’ formation as a breed began in the middle of the last century, when Canadian breeders took notice of these fluffy bear cubs.
Kimrick has incredibly powerful hind legs, so he doesn’t bother walking or running. He likes to get around by jumping! And by the way, he loves water. If you get him used to the procedures from childhood, the kitty will be happy to swim. Maybe this is due to the fact that the homeland of cats is an island?
Kimrick has some strange habits. He is sure to burrow a toy somewhere in a doggy way, and if he notices where the food is, he can easily learn to open doors.
Balanced psyche kimrik allows him to easily find a common language with both children and other pets.

Cornish Rex
Cornish Rexis a highly intelligent and very agile cat. Its level of inattentiveness can be estimated only by its owner, who can’t sit in one place for a minute.
Корниш-Ñ€ÐµÐºÑ Ð¾Ñ‡ÐµÐ½ÑŒ завиÑит от хозÑина. Кошка будет Ñледовать за вами буквально по пÑтам, и Ñто может напрÑгать владельцев, вечно чем-то занÑÑ‚Ñ‹Ñ…. Зато уÑатый Ñ ÑƒÐ´Ð¾Ð²Ð¾Ð»ÑŒÑтвием заберетÑÑ Ð² Ñамый недоÑтупный уголок или запрыгнет на Ñамый выÑокий шкаф и оттуда будет наблюдать за вÑем проиÑходÑщим в его владениÑÑ…. Ðе обделит кошка вниманием и вывалившийÑÑ Ð¸Ð· кроÑÑовка шнурок и шуганет Ñ Ð¿Ð¾Ð´Ð¾ÐºÐ¾Ð½Ð½Ð¸ÐºÐ° воробьÑ-зеваку.
The alien appearance of Rexes does not match their character. They are madly in love with their owners! Although they are reluctant to communicate with children and are wary of strangers. But if the owner suddenly disappears for a long time – worse punishment and can not think of. The cat will be bored, and all the accumulated energy will spill out into the surrounding space: be it an armchair or a pot with a flower.
The soft curly coat of the Cornish is recognized as hypoallergenic, and it gives an opportunity to get a kitty for people with sensitive immunity. Rexes have no practical genetic diseases, they are undemanding in care, which once again confirms that there is no better and more beautiful cat in the whole world!

Munchkin
If you like dachshunds, but for some reason you can not get a dog – get munchkin! The short legs of this kitty came as a result of a natural mutation, so with all the funny appearance the animal has excellent health.
Both appearance and character of the munchkin can be completely different. But the whole breed has one thing in common: a love of moving games. Yes, yes, even despite its short legs! This cat can easily steal something tasty from the table (of course, having previously climbed on the chair), so the features of the skeleton of the pet should not mislead you.
This is one of the few breed of catsthat loves children and willingly plays with them. Among other things, the munchkin likes to make stashes, which it is desirable to identify in time, because everything missing can be located there..
You will also be amused by the ability of cats to sit on their hind legs for long periods of time. In this case, they merrily hang their front legs on their chest and in this position they observe the surroundings.

Maine Coon
This very beautiful cat hardly needs an introduction. The Maine Coon is an indigenous American breed with a serious expression on its “face”. Those who are not familiar with the breed, may think that the cat is always angry or dissatisfied with something. And if you take into account the not insignificant size of the cat, you may get the impression that it is better to stay away from such an individual.
In fact the Maine Coonis kindness itself. Cats have a sharp mind and this helps them to unmistakably determine the vibration of the owner and decide whether it is worthwhile to approach him at the moment, or better to go remind themselves to the pigeons.
Coons are distinguished by their thick, long coat, which they acquired during the process of evolution and life in the northern latitude. The coat looks especially beautiful on the collar, and the tail becomes an object of special attention. However, strange as it may seem, Coons practically do not need to be combed out: their fur does not pile up. The tassels on the ears look no less graceful, making the cat look like a lynx.
The Maine Coon is a cat that does not walk on its own. From the whole family it will definitely choose its favorite owner and will stick to him. At the same time, the kitty will reluctantly allow to take himself in his arms or sit on his lap. It is better for such a giant to snuggle up to the owner, isn’t it?
But the attitude towards strangers is surprising. The cat just doesn’t notice them. It’s as if they don’t exist for her. It is necessary to give the cat time to get used to the intrusion, and then the uninvited guest will be able to pet this American marvel.
As far as entertainment is concerned, here you get yourself an elephant in the china shop. The size of the cat allows it to easily knock down everything that meets its path. And the stomp of its paws can be compared with the stomp of a child. And also coons are partial to water. So either close the door to the bathroom, or place the property so that it can not be harmed by cat attractions.
But there is a good counterbalance to all these disasters: kuns love to sleep during the day, and after maturity they become lazy. That’s why an edgy and agile Coon is a young Coon. And after five years of age, your fidgety cat will turn into a chic sofa cat (however, there are always exceptions to every rule).

Mekong bobtail
The Mekong Bobtailis a visitor from Asia with a color-point color. The cat is very similar to the Thai cat with one difference: it has no tail. Otherwise, the whisker-tailless cats are very similar to the Thai: they have the same developed speech apparatus and their behavior sometimes resembles that of a dog.
Carrying something in its teeth is a favorite pastime of the Mekong. The cat can even be taught to fetch an abandoned toy. A lazy owner definitely needs a bobtail!
The Mekong Bobtail can easily get along with other animals like cats or dogs. But on rodents, birds and aquarium fish will definitely open a hunt “until victory”. Scold the animal in case of what, as you understand, not only useless, but also undesirable. After all, the cat only obeys its instincts.
Mekongs are great with children and don’t really single out any of their owners as favorites. Asian restraint does not allow them to rush into hugs, but they are very fond of being talked to. Therefore, this cat will most likely not suit silent people.

Norwegian Forest
The Norwegian Forestis a large, beautiful cat, native, as the name suggests, from the country of Suomi. The animal seems larger than it is due to its luxurious fur.
The character of Norwegians is firm, Nordic. They do not get involved in squabbles, rarely show emotion, but they are friendly enough to look at the outside world. They remain playful to a very old age and will willingly run after a toy if necessary.
The Norwegian cat is not well suited for apartment living: its hunting instincts are too strong. It will be much more comfortable to live in a private home, where it can regulate its own schedule: when to go hunting, and when to lie down in a secluded corner and take a sweet nap.
Of course, this does not mean that you can’t have it in the apartment. But you will need to accustom your purr-fect cat to the harness and take her for regular walks. Yes, it is not the same as being on “free bread”, but at least some sense of freedom will still be there.
Cats can be unfair to us humans. If your cat doesn’t want to communicate, you may not see her for 24 hours. But if you are her favorite owner and let yourself disappear from her sight – you will get a cat reprimand, don’t even doubt it! And all this is because of the deep sympathy of the Norwegian woman, who nevertheless maintains her Nordic independence.

Oriental cat
Oriental cat is a beautiful animal with a slender body, huge ears and an unusual profile with a hump. They are the closest relatives of siamoks, and the character went more like a dog.
The Oriental is a typical possessive dog. It follows its owner everywhere, occasionally giving voice signals. And their speech is superbly developed. There are so many intonations in their rumbling, meowing and just sounds that sometimes you wonder how the kitty hasn’t spoken yet.
Since the owner is the property of the Oriental, the cat will gladly lie down on your lap, but after half an hour it will certainly climb on some cupboard, which will be a great starting point for further movements. There are also such mishaps as broken dishes and simply dropped things. Therefore, either hide all your favorite inanimate in advance, or do not get an Oriental.
An Oriental cat needs to be played with, and played with a lot! If you are a busy person by your way of life, it is better to buy her some interactive toys and preferably more than one. As Asians are highly intelligent, the monotony will soon bore the cat and it will go in search of other objects.

Persian cat
The Persian catis an aristocratic beauty that has lived side-by-side with humans for centuries. Breeding has done its job, and the Persian is a purely domestic animal that cannot survive outside of its favorite couch.
The Persian cat is very attached to its owner, but at the same time it has its own opinion and will not allow itself to be stroked if it is not in the mood. At the same time, you will not have neither tampered curtains or furniture, nor dropped vases. However, Persians should not be offended. They are more self-sufficient than other cats, and, holding a grudge, they may well make a mess in their slippers.
The Persian cat’s levity has become a household name. It is rare to see an adult Persian chasing a toy. Most likely, the cat will be lying somewhere with a good view, slightly wiggling its luxurious tail.
Speaking of wool. The Persian’s wool is extraordinary, soft and flowing. Its structure is such that without care, it will form tangles, which can only be cut out, but not combed. Therefore, combing the coat is your daily care;
The sedentary and good appetite of the Persian cat often ends up in obesity. It is so sincerely begging for one more bite of something that it is simply impossible to refuse. But you must step on the throat of your kindness and think about the health of your pet.

Russian blue cat
U Russian blue cathandsome plush silvery-blue coat and mesmerizing eyes of the color of young leaves. Both in appearance and in character it is a real lady, whose intelligence can be envied by any breed.
They love tenderness and at first approximation you could say that Russian Blue are very dependent on humans. But in fact it is not quite so. Yes, with the owners the cat is the very tenderness, but at the sight of a stranger on the threshold of the house Murka will most likely prefer to disappear.
Russian Blue gets along well with any other pets. Of course, if they do not provoke her to escape or hunt. And it accepts children smoothly and calmly, too.
These cats are irreconcilable hunters, and in the conditions of the city apartment they are very carefully watching: if any prey appears in their field of vision. And also Russian Blue jumps as high as Sergei Bubka, so do everything to make sure that your favorite cat does not fly out the window and not hurt.

Ragdoll
The name “ragdoll” translates from English as “rag doll”, and indeed: you just take this cat in your arms, as it immediately relaxes and seems to soften. And if you take into account that this purr is one of the largest, then it is impossible to restrain the emotion, seeing how this giantess is entirely in your power)
The Ragdollis a very meek cat with beautiful sky-blue eyes. Their character is so gentle that at the slightest nervousness they simply hide. Therefore, if you have too emotional lifestyle, do not get this breed.
The owner for a ragdoll is the center of his universe. But he doesn’t mind other family members either. The cat likes to be stroked, scratched behind the ears and talked to, and in return will give you an unparalleled look of loving blue eyes and a soft “meow”.
The Ragdoll is very tolerant of children. No matter how it is twisted and turned, claws and teeth will never go into action. The cat will simply submit to fate and will bravely endure all the trials.The same with other animals: ragdoll is able to make friends even with rodents and birds.
This breed absolutely cannot tolerate loneliness. The presence of the owner is the raison d’être of the cat. Therefore, it should not be left alone for a long time, and it is better, if possible, to take it with you.

Savannah cat
Savannah is the most expensive pet, and it is quite justified, because to have in the house the largest domestic cat of cheetah color can not everyone. Savannah is a hybrid of serval and Bengal cat and the closer the kitten is to the papa serval, the more expensive it is.
Despite its quite predatory appearance, the savannah is a human-oriented cat, but also very inquisitive and agile. It is unlikely to fit the standard meters in which most of us live. This animal needs space and room to run around.
From the wild ancestor in the savannah there is still a craving for dominance, but this is quite successfully negated by castration. Even so, if there are small children in the family, it is better to take a kitten starting from the third generation.
Savannah is an unusual cat. She demands respect, and if they can not give it, it is quite possible that the property of a negligent owner will be trashed. And do not leave the little cheetah alone, he really does not like loneliness.
Savannah will gladly make friends with a dog, but other animals are likely to be seen as prey. Cats of the first generation are very intolerant of strangers, so growling and hissing are the order of the day. However, with each generation, this aggressiveness gradually wanes, although it cannot be said that it disappears altogether.
Savannah needs to be walked a lot, so accustoming it to the harness is a primary task. It should also be taken into account that the owner will have to put up with some peculiarities of the cat’s character and constantly negotiate with it;

Selkirk Rex
The Selkirk Rexis a cat with a beautiful curly coat that is soft and plush to the touch. The breed appeared due to a mutation in an ordinary cat, whose coat took on a funny curly texture, as if it were curled on curlers.
There are two types of selkirks: curly and straight. All kittens can be born curly, but it is very easy to distinguish between curly-coated muccas: their vibrissae are curled.
Selkirk is very attached to his owner and is absolutely not afraid of strangers. He is very much in need of communication, very affectionate and as if he understands everything. And even in an unfamiliar environment, the cat does not feel embarrassed. So this is a great breed for exhibitions!
Since the cat has a thick coat, it should be combed out. In addition, kittens should be given vitamins during the coat formation period.
It is a relatively young breed that is still in its formative stages.Â

Siamese cat
The Siamese cat is an Asian beauty with expressive turquoise eyes. Her homeland is Thailand, where she was considered sacred and could only be owned by high-ranking officials of the state.
The classic color of cats is color point: dark muzzle, paws and tail on the background of a light body. Points can have different colors from deep chocolate to cream.
Siamese are also called “cat-dogs”, as their affection for their owner knows no bounds. The cat can be jealous of other animals, making their existence not very serene.
There is an opinion that the Siamese cat is an angry, aggressive and vindictive animal. But not everything is so unambiguous. It is simply a rather demanding breed, which, not receiving the desired, thus expresses its protest.
Families with small children should not get a Siamese cat, because a small child can not explain the boundaries of permissible in relation to the blue-blooded animal. The result will be injuries caused by claws and spoiled psyche of the cat.
Siamese need communication like air. But the owner is required not only to pet the cat, but also to answer all its “questions” and “comments”, and there will be a lot of them! The Siamese cat is characterized by a loud voice with many intonations, and for each event there are certain “oratorios”, which an attentive person will begin to distinguish very soon.
Siamese are very sensitive to intonation, raise your voice at them without reason is not recommended. Otherwise, the parable of the “vicious aggressive cat” will become a reality. Siamese family is everything, it will easily accompany you wherever you want to take it with you and even without problems will carry the move, because for her home is not a box with four walls, but the soul of a person.

Siberian cat
Sibirian cat ”” is one of the most popular breeds in our country. It is a very beautiful cat with a luxurious coat, balanced temperament and an inexpressible sense of dignity.
The formation of the breed began in 1980, and to breed a purebred Siberian cat used representatives from different parts of Russia. They differed both in size and coat texture. And unusual color-point color of Siberians was even brought by some felinological organizations in a separate breed – nevskaya masqueradnaya..
The Siberian cat’s fur is a topic for a separate conversation. It is very dense and water-repellent. In summer, the cat may look a little puffy due to the fact that its body is readjusting to the warm period. But in winter, the Siberian cat’s outfit shows up in all its glory. A luxurious collar is formed on the neck, along the body the hair flows smoothly to the stomach, fluffy pants on the legs and a magnificent lush tail tops it all off.
The character of the Siberian cat will suit people who do not require a lot of attention from pets. Yes, this cat is playful, but in moderation. Sometimes she has some of her own business, and at this point it is better not to bother her. If it wants, it will come and purr in its own language to pay attention to it.
With other animals Siberian cat is in the position of equal partners, of course, if they do not show aggression to it. It is desirable to limit communication with small children, or even to have this breed when the child is at least 6-7 years old.

Singapore cat
СингапурÑÐºÐ°Ñ ÐºÐ¾ÑˆÐºÐ° ”” краÑивое, миниатюрное и изÑщное животное. От вÑех пород ее отличают огромные глаза, которые придают ей кукольный вид.
The Singapore cat can be safely called one of the rarest cats in Russia and Europe. Somehow it happened that its country of habitat is mainly North America. It is the lightest of all cat breeds: the weight of the Singaporean cat is no more than three kilograms.Â
Singaporeans are incredibly curious creatures. They need to monitor your every action, look into every corner, and at the same time they are very contactable cats. They are also called companions.
Ideally, if the Singapore cat will live in a large family, where everyone can give her attention and the murka will not feel lonely. Or if the owner is alone, he should spend most of his time at home.
There aren’t any particular health problems with Singaporean cats, but the lack of an undercoat means they can catch colds. Keep her out of drafts.

Snowshoe
Snow Shoe means “snow shoe” in English. This cat has white socks on the bottom of its paws, which really do look like shoes against the dark main background.Â
The breed came into existence when normal Siamese had kittens with such abnormalities. The breeder was so interested in them that she began to develop the breed further. The peculiarities of the snowshoe are such that even when two cats are mated, the kittens are not always produced according to the standard. Therefore, a perfect “shoe” is a great luck.
The Snow Shoo is the perfect cat for a family. It is very kind, understanding, spiteful and sociable. They are strangers to feline independence, they are always ready to share their time with the owner. They play with children with great pleasure and will never scratch or, God forbid, bite them.
Snowshoes are so understanding that they easily remember what they can and can’t do. And you don’t have to tell them twice. They are talkative, but they don’t shout like mammoths, and their voice has many intonations inherited from Siamese.
Slipper can easily be taught to bring a toy, these cats generally like to play. A good help will be interactive toys that will entertain the cat while the owner is busy doing his business.
In my mind, a snowshoe is the most beautiful and the most perfect cat. It’s a pity that it’s quite difficult to find them here.

Somali cat
Somali is a very beautiful cat, similar to a fox, with long hair and color with the effect of tiking. Somali appeared in a litter of ordinary Abyssinian cats and at first long-haired kittens were ignored and culled. And only in the 60s of the 20th century these cats were paid attention to.
Since the Somali cat came from the Abyssinian cat, the Murkas took from it playfulness, vigor, good-naturedness and sociability. These cats need companionship and should not be left alone.
Somalis can make a toy out of literally anything that falls into their paws. Whether it is a wrapper, a pen or just some little thing left unattended – everything will immediately fly to the floor and will chase all over the house. Therefore, do not leave valuable things within reach of the Somali.

Sphinx
The Sphynx is the very breed of cat that is impossible to pass by indifferently. They are either loved to the point of insanity, or do not understand and considered not of this world.Sphynxes there are several varieties: Peterbold, Don and Canadian. And we will talk about the latter.
Despite its hairless and somewhat otherworldly appearance, the Canadian Sphynx is the kindest creature in the world. These cats follow their owners like tails, and since nothing warms them, the owner is an excellent warming pad for them!
Canadians are very attached, so a long separation can negatively affect their psyche, even if you entrust a friend or family member to look after the pet.Â
By nature, Sphynxes are social animals and easily adaptable to a large number of people. If you have a large family, there is no better gift for this cat. Each member of the family will be given attention, with each purr will communicate.
Since the sphynx has no fur, the care of the cat needs special attention. Wiping the cat’s eyes, ears and body will become your weekly concerns. Canadians should be taken care of not only from the cold, putting on them warm suits, but also from direct sunlight, because the delicate skin is not protected from ultraviolet light.

Thai cat
The Thai catis also called the Old Siamese cat. And some felinological organizations do not recognize the difference between Thai and Siamese. In fact, the Thai cat is the ancestor of the Siamese breed.
Mentions of Thais can be found in manuscripts from the 14th century, which are kept in Bangkok. And cats came to Europe in the 19th century as the greatest gift of the King of Siam only. Previously, they were carefully guarded from the encroachment of foreigners.
The Thai cat is an intellectual beauty. She unmistakably defines the “main” person in the family and gives him carte blanche not unlimited communication. Therefore, waiting and sincerely happy Thai cat will be only this lucky man. However, this will not prevent other family members from taking part in the cat’s life.
The Thai cat’s talkative nature has long been legendary. The cat will definitely comment on your every movement or intention. And it will do it so nicely that it will be simply impossible not to answer the mustached face;
A loving owner will soon notice that the Thai cat has its own sounds and intonation for certain situations. Therefore, very soon it will be possible to understand what the cat is “talking” about.
The Thai cat is one of those creatures that do not get attached to the house. With them you can change your place of residence even every year, and the purr-fect cat will always stay in a good mood, because it has something more – a favorite person.

Toyger
In English, “tiger” means tiger, and toygeris a cat with tiger coloring. A big predatory cat, the Toyger only looks like a big predatory cat externally. And inside they are one of the most trouble-free pets.
Bengal and just street cats that had the striping gene were used to breed the breed. Due to their unique coloring, the Togers have become incredibly popular, and consequently, the price of a kitten can bite.
Toyger is an affectionate cat who likes to be given attention. But she will never become annoying if she realizes that now it is better for her to do her own thing. This kitty is absolutely not resentful. If she is punished, she will prefer to forget about the incident, but who would have the guts to offend such a sweet creature?
But to say that the tiger is a coward cannot be said. Any attack by congeners or other pets will be met with the fury of its big brother. These cats also don’t understand the dangers of high altitude. Therefore, the hunt for another fly can end miserably.
Toygers are very social. And so much so that they will not be limited to your family. All friends and acquaintances who come to the house will be pampered with the same zeal. Does it need to be said that a Toyger does not like loneliness?

Scottish cat
And completes our hit parade one of the most popular breeds in our country – Scottish cat. These beauties are usually divided into two breeds: Scottish Straightand Scottish Foldboth straight-eared and lop-eared.
Restraint, self-esteem and a certain phlegmatic nature are the main mottos of both breeds. Scottish cats are able to create a cozy home, while remaining moderately playful and inquisitive.
A funny thing about the Scots is their habit of standing on their hind legs, just like meerkats. And it’s not because they like it. It’s just to relieve their spine. Similarly, a cat can sit on its butt, slightly hunched over and with its hind legs stretched out.
Scotties are aristocratic cats. They are so altruistic that it is almost impossible to force them into conflict. They also hate it when they are taken in their arms. Therefore, it is necessary to respect the personal space of the animal, otherwise you can spoil his nervous system.
All Scots without exception are eager to make contact, whether it is an adult or a child. They quickly join in games, but only when they want to. In general, it is necessary to understand and accept that this cat, like any other, has its own opinion, which is better to reckon with than to bend its own line.
