When taking the time to think about domestic house animals, most people think of the main two as dogs or cats, but have you really thought about what kind of dog or cat you have as a pet. The more you think about it, more dogs are recognized for breed rather than cats. If you really think about it, if you’re a cat owner have you really sat and thought about what kind of cat you have, or where that specific cat could have come from that’s laying around on your furniture all the time… There are a lot of common and extremely cute cats in homes everywhere, and there are also a lot of cats that could be domestic but aren’t commonly known, even some that are just hard to get because of places and prices.
The first of all the unique kitties you don’t see often in homes is the British shorthaired cat. It’s the pedigreed version of the traditional British domestic cat with a distinctively chunky body, plush coat and broad face. The most familiar color variant is the “British Blue,” a solid blue-gray with copper eyes, but the breed has also been developed in a wide range of other colors and patterns, including tabby and color point. It is one of the most ancient cat breeds known, probably originating from Egyptian domestic cats imported into Britain by the invading Romans in the first century AD. In modern times, it remains the most popular pedigreed breed in its native country. The breed’s good-natured appearance and relatively calm temperament make it a frequent media star, notably as the inspiration for Tenniel’s famous illustration of the Cheshire cat from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
The next and one of the cutest of cats in my opinion is the Scottish Fold Cat. The Scottish Fold is a breed of cat with a natural dominant-gene mutation that affects cartilage throughout the body, causing the ears to “fold,” bending forward and down towards the front of their head. This gives the cat what is often described as an “owl-like” appearance. Originally called lop-eared or lops after the lop-eared rabbit, Scottish Fold became the breed’s name in 1966. Depending on registries, longhaired Scottish Folds are varyingly known as Highland Fold, Scottish Fold Longhair, Longhair Fold and Coupari.
Another incredibly cute kitty is the Munchkin Cat; this cat is a relatively new breed of cat characterized by its very short legs, which are caused by a naturally occurring genetic mutation. Much controversy erupted over the breed when it was recognized by The International Cat Association in 1995 with critics voicing concern over potential health and mobility issues. It acts like a completely normal cat; it just has small, adorable legs.
Last and the top favorite of most cat lovers is the Savannah Cat. The Savannah is a hybrid cat breed. It is a cross between a serval and a domestic cat. It is the largest domestic cat breed. It resembles a small leopard and behaves like a dog. It can grow up to 40 pounds which is the size of a medium sized dog and has an eight-foot vertical jump. This cat can be trained to go on a leash and to play Frisbee.
These are some of the most amazing house cats to have. Would you want one of these cool cats to live with you because I for sure would.
