We think that the relationship between people and pets contributes to a better society. Having a cat might provide you with a cheerful, successful life with your family, but it is your duty as well as yours to select the perfect one.

The majority of cats are ‘moggies,' a combination of pure-bred pedigree cats that may be many generations old. Because moggies' personalities are more influenced by nurture than nature, their origins are unknown. Pure-bred cat breeds are the specialty of our Breed Selector.

Male vs. Female

There isn't much of a difference in personality between the genders as long as they are neutered. When cats have not been neutered, they are known as a whole. Males that are entire will fight for territory if outdoors, and indoors, they will liberally spray their powerful odor on walls and drapes to mark their area. While females may also spray from time to time. They will make themselves and you unhappy each time they go into heat (heat) with loud howls and strange body gyrations.

On the other side, after being spayed, their personalities will improve. Male cats are typically loving and loyal. Female cats are said to be "personified by felicity." You should start with personality, then if you have several attractive kitties, narrow it down to sex if that is important to you.

Pedigree cat

Purebred cats make up a small proportion of the feline population. The term "pedigree" is usually used to describe a cat's parents and heritage. A pedigree will be recorded as a particular breed by one of the major registration authorities for cat breeds, ensuring conformity to breed standards and the cat's lineage.

Why choose a pure breed cat?

To create a distinct physical appearance, the selective crossing is used to develop breeds: for example, long hair, the form of the head and ears, or the tail. This picking also has an impact on temperament and behavior. This is why the personality traits of an individual breed are usually well-defined. It's considerably more difficult to predict a kitten's temperament after it's been adopted or rescued; fans of moggies will tell you that this contributes to their appeal. Most people who love purebred cats are interested not just in the animal's beauty but also in its character.

For example, the Ragdoll is a calm and quiet cat that readily acclimates to new homes, Norwegian Forest cats are sociable in nature making them excellent choices for youngsters, while oriental cats are known to be more demanding of their owners' time and form strong relationships with their human companions. Knowing the characteristics and demands of each pure breed can assist you in selecting the right cat for you.

The Ragdoll, Maine Coon, and Bengal are currently among the most popular. The hairless Sphynx, Rex with silky coats, and tailless Manx are just a few of the new breeds that have emerged in recent years.

You will want to select a breed that you like, but more importantly, the temperament and behavior of the breed are likely to be suitable for you. Visit our breed finder or attend a cat show to learn more about the distinct features and requirements of cat breeds.
