Common pet cat breeds (cute pet cat breeds)

The most common pet cat species

1. Scottish Fold:

In 1951, a female cat gave birth to a litter of kittens with folded ears on a farm in the UK. The owner of the female cat gave some of the kittens to a local shepherd for raising, and after witnessing the kittens' folded ears, the shepherd decided to try to stabilize this new breed. Because this breeding program was carried out in Scotland, the kittens bred were the ancestors of what is now called "Scottish Fold". Although Scottish Folds are basically short-haired cats, they carry long-haired genes. Long-haired Scottish Folds continued to appear during the breeding process, and in a cat show in 1987, long-haired Scottish Folds won and finally became another breed.

2. Japanese Bobtail:

The Japanese Bobtail, also known as the Japanese Bobtail. This cat is a breed produced by a genetic mutation. The Japanese Bobtail cat has a history of about a thousand years in Japan. Some people believe that it was introduced to Japan from China or Korea more than 1,000 years ago. The tail of the Japanese Bobtail cat is only about 10 cm long. It is the cat breed with the shortest tail, along with the Manx cat. Among the Japanese Bobtail cats, the calico cat is the most popular, but there are also many red and white cats and white cats. The appearance of the lucky cat comes from the Japanese Bobtail cat.

3. British Shorthair Cat:

The British Shorthair cat has a plump body, short and well-developed limbs, short and dense fur, a big head and a round face. It is gentle and calm, friendly to people, and very easy to raise. It was recognized in the UK very early, and in 1901, the ideal image of its cat breed appeared. It was originally a blue cat with a fairly large and strong body. After 1970, its fur color and appearance began to change. The body size is getting smaller and smaller, and the types of fur colors are becoming richer. All changes are towards an elegant style.

4. Non-purebred cats:

Non-purebred cats are generally not easily recognized as breeds, and their appearance may be very complicated. Because there are no restrictions on breeding, the coat patterns vary greatly. It is impossible to make a meaningful classification based on facial features. Of course, in a certain area, there has been a phenomenon of inbreeding between related non-purebred cats, so there are many similarities between them. Then these natural characteristics can be strengthened through selective breeding, and new breeds have emerged. The latest Singapore cat evolved in this way.

5. Rex cats:

Rex cats are divided into five types: Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Selkirk Rex, La Perm and Siberian Rex. The first two and the latter have slender bodies, large ears, short and curly fur all over the body, and wavy, with a strange appearance. Curly cats are clever and naughty, enthusiastic towards people, like to play, but afraid of cold and easy to raise.
