Cat Breeds for Cat Lovers

So, you're one of those awesome people who love to have pets as company, and in particular looking for perfect cat breeds that could add joy to your life. That's amazing. There's a saying which goes something like this, "how you treat animals shows what kind of a person you are." If you treat them well, then it can be said that you have a good heart.

There are lots of cat breeds to choose from. Some of the known breeds are the Abyssinian, Aegean cat, American Polydactyl, Brazilian Shorthair, British Shorthair, Burmese, Egyptian Mau, European Shorthair, Japanese Bobtail, Norwegian Forest Cat, Scottish Fold, Siamese, Siberian, Turkish Angora, and a lot more. All of the mentioned breeds are of natural origin, meaning they're not of the hybrid types or those developed by mutation.

Persian cats - Cat Breeds for Cat Lovers
One particular cat breed that's good to keep is the Persian breed. Persian cats are long-haired cats characterized by its round face and shortened muzzle. It should be put in mind that Persian cats require daily grooming due to its very long and thick fur.The Persian Cats' life expectancy is usually between 10 to 18 years.

More characteristics of the Persian cats are:
  • Sweet temperament
  • Laid back
  • Long, thick coat
  • Heavily boned
  • "Cobby" body
  • Straight, short tail
  • Large, round eyes
  • Small, flat nose
  • Generally good with kids
  • Short legs
  • Large, round head
  • Small, forward-tilting ears
Me, I don't really look into cat breeds because I love cats of all kinds. What is important is the kind of care I could give to them. Just like my own Puffy at home. He's a very sweet feline that my heart breaks whenever he comes home all filled with mud due to his wrestling with the female cat in the mating season. I think that's one of the weirdest cat behaviors. They are hurting each other before they mate.
