Cat Breeds

Cat breeds are generally divided into two classes: pedigree and non-pedigree, as well as longhaired and shorthaired.

We shall take a look at some of the popular cat breeds to give you a better foundation of knowledge when choosing a cat.

Maine coon cat

Maine Coon Cats require little maintenance.

Maine Coon Cats

Maine Coons are one of the longhaired breeds. However, compared to the Persian cat, they do not require that much maintenance. One of the largest domestic cats, Maine coon cats are known for their intelligence and playfulness.

A Maine coon cat won "Best Cat" at the first major cat show held in the United States, in 1895, at Madison Square Garden. At that show, a Maine coon cat named Cosey, named "Best Cat," was awarded a silver medal engraved "National Cat Show, 1895," along with a silver cat collar with similar engraving.

The Maine Coon Cat is the official Maine State Cat.

 
Persian cat

Persian cats are affectionate and loyal.

Persian Cats

Persian cats, known for their beautiful long, soft fur and affectionate nature, are one of the oldest breeds of cats. Persians are warm and affectionate cats, and are loyal and close to their owners. Because of their thick fur, Persian cats and kittens require more grooming than other cats. Daily combing is needed to control tangles and hairballs.

Persians have short legs, a long thick coat, large wide-spaced eyes, and a short, almost flat muzzle. Persian cats can be any color, including tabby, blue, pointed (or Himalayan), and tortoiseshell.

Persian cats are the most popular cat breed, and with good reason. Their gentleness and loyalty, their affection, their calm nature, and their natural beauty make them a delightful addition to almost any household.

Siamese kitten

"We are Siamese if you please"

Siamese Cats

Siamese cats are well known for their distinctive features and loud voice. They are lean and carry a poised stature. They are highly intelligent, sociable and very close to their owners. No wonder they are so popular!

Ragdoll cat

Ragdoll cats are gentle cats, so relaxed that they'll usually go completely limp when you pick them up.

Ragdoll Cats

The Ragdolls are one of the most adorable cat breeds. They are very affectionate and love to stick around their owners. They are very placid and go very limp when you pick them up. That is why they are called Ragdolls. They are also very gentle and can be quite vulnerable.

Abyssinian kitten

This Abyssinian kitten is about as cute as they get!

Abyssinian Cats

Abyssinian cats have strong and lithe bodies. They are said to have originated from ancient Egypt. Abyssinians are very intelligent, playful and good with children. They seek a lot of attention and are easy to train. That makes them a popular breed, especially for families with children.
