Cats are, let’s face it, naturally cool. According to the Urban Dictionary, being cool is “being yourself and not caring how other people regard what you say or do.
Cats exhibit this quality. While every cat is different in its own way, some remarkable cat breeds have more distinctive features and personalities than others, and here are our top ten picks.
British Shorthair
The British Shorthair is well known for both its good appearance and its generally laid-back and jovial disposition. Its appealingly chunky face, body, and thick, silky fur go well with its hardy demeanor.
The wide-grinning Cheshire Cat from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is rumored to have been inspired by the wide-cheeked faces of British Shorthairs, which appear to be smiling and more expressive than many cat breeds.
According to legend, British Shorthairs are eager for fun and activities like fetching, much like dogs.
Savannah
The Savannah, one of the priciest cat breeds, is a wonderful cross between a domestic cat and a true wild cat (cerval). They now have very fashionable cheetah markings on their coats as a result.
The world’s tallest cat breed, this exquisite feline is also extraordinarily huge and belongs in the supermodel category. Savannahs are so costly due to their breeding. To breed a serval and a domestic cat, one needs luck and frequently several years.
They are known to be incredibly loyal and form bonds with a small number of people. They have a remarkable capacity to hop, even onto refrigerators and high walls, and are quite curious. If you keep fish or birds, your Savannah cat will be constantly interested in them due to their keen sense of hunting.
Norwegian Forest Cat
The Norwegian forest cat, one of the largest cat breeds, is substantial, strong, and covered in a ton of bushy fur.
These cats are renowned for more than simply their size, as they also have great climbing skills and keen hunting instincts.
These active kitties will have you doing a lot of running around! They also make excellent pets since they are warm and really caring.
Siamese
The Siamese cat’s lovely blue eyes are hard to refuse. For generations, people have prized these cats for their distinctive patterns and outspoken dispositions.
Siamese cats have long been offered as gifts to dignitaries and have served as a status symbol. An American consul presented one to President Rutherford B. Hayes and his wife in 1878, marking their introduction to the country.
Especially talkative, these cats are sometimes mistaken for crying newborns because of their loud meows.
Persian Cats
Persian cats are highly independent and content to pursue their own interests despite having an exterior that may look high-maintenance and fluffy. Blue Persians are grey cats. Persian cats are peaceful, placid, and friendly felines.
They drop down on any soft surface and simply pose for your admiration, acting like little supermodels. This breed has a peaceful attitude. These graceful cats make the ideal indoor companions because they are not particularly active.
Persians’ large, wide eyes are especially noticeable because of their relatively petite faces. The majority of Persians have stunning blue eyes, yet there are a few that have a distinct color in each. In contrast to a blue or grey coat, their eyes can be pretty stunning.
Abyssinian
The Abyssinian cat is frequently compared to the Egyptian cats, who were revered for their ability to prevent rodents from devouring priceless grain. It is thought that these cats were the first to be domesticated.
The fact that these cats’ bones have been discovered mummified and interred in tombs dedicated to the cat goddess Bastet confirms that they remarkably resemble ancient Egyptian art. According to a recent genetic study, they probably originated on the west coast of India before migrating to Africa.
This breed was the first to display the felis lybica-inspired ticking tabby pattern, which is similar to domestic cats. Originally known as “bunny cats” because of their coats’ resemblance to those of wild rabbits, they were transported to England as mementos from Abyssinia in the 1860s. They are sophisticated cats with a high level of intelligence and unwavering confidence.
Munchkin
The adorable Munchkin is one of the original kinds of dwarf cats and lives up to its name: it has legs that are so short that they are practically nonexistent.
Their difficult breeding technique and the genetic abnormality that generates their stocky look make them fairly unusual, yet owners like them for the high amount of energy and fun attitude that they maintain well into old age.
Siberian
The Siberian is a rare cat breed that is hard to locate in the United States. If you are looking for a cat breed that will get everyone’s attention, go no further than Siberian.
In addition to having thick, waterproof coats and muscular bodies, these cats, who are native to Siberia, are recognized for having dispositions that are so energetic and fun-loving that they are known for playing like kittens far beyond the years when they should be acting their age.
Russian Blue Cat Breed
Russian Blues are a breathtakingly attractive breed with emerald-green eyes and a plush silvery coat. The Russian Blue has long legs that enable it to run at fast speeds, is sweet-tempered, and has exquisite features.
They have big, round, wide-set green eyes. Another cat breed that appears to be awake all the time is this one. Russian Blue cats have yellow eyes at birth that gradually turn green as they age.
When you arrive home, this pricey type of cat adores playing and needs a lot of care. However, they do enjoy taking naps in a peaceful area and stay away from large crowds.
Japanese Bobtail
Japanese Bobtails are like cats on the front end and rabbits on the back end. Just give that some time to sink in. It’s nearly too adorable to handle. Do your cats have bunny tails?
These cute creatures are indigenous to Japan and have existed long enough to make cameos in older works of art. Japanese Bobtails naturally have stubby tails, in contrast to the majority of dogs with “docked” tails. The tail’s genetic abnormality lowers the number of vertebrae that are present. Did I also mention that they enjoy playing fetch?
