Top 3 Cat Breeds in the Last Few Years

Fluffy, hairless, blue-eyed, active, funny, quiet, and affectionate. Just like us, every cat is different. And it is not about the size or the appearance a particular cat has. It is about a personality as well. Let's have a look at some of the most-loved breeds at the moment, comparing their basic features to understand this better.

1. Sphynx is one of the most exotic breeds ever. It has become well-known for the famous hairless gene and warm suede-like skin. Sphynx has originated in 1966. It is a young breed that has already conquered millions of hearts all over the world. Though hairless cats look like they are easy to take care of, they need even more attention than some of the fluffiest breeds. Due to the lack of a fur coat, you should keep this pet warm all year round. Be ready to spend money on fashionable pet rompers and sweaters.

2. Maine Coon is a breed that is believed to be originated in the 18th century. Maine Coons are one of the longest and biggest domestic cats on the planet. They can weigh a lot (up to 18-19 pounds). It is not a hyperactive breed. Mostly, Maine Coons are laid-back and want to be around you all day long. They are child and pet-friendly. So, it is a perfect choice for those who already have a cat or a dog. But keep in mind, due to the long hairs, grooming is an obligatory part of a daily routine for any cat of this breed.

3. Snowshoe breed is a combination of words, most people know nothing about until they hear of Grumpy Cat (a mix of a Snowshoe and a Ragdoll). The grumpiest cat in the world is a perfect example of how the breed looks like. Snowshoe cats are absolutely white until they are two-three weeks old. Then, they start to develop darker points on different parts of the body – legs, ears, and tail. A Snowshoe is a medium size pet, that is very active and playful. It is a great choice for families with kids, but not for those who already have pets.

The International Cat Association officially identifies fifty-eight cat breeds all over the world, which makes it harder to pick the right one. Hopefully, this article will help you to solve the dilemma of finding a perfect cat easily.
