All cats are beautiful and make purrfect pets, but some cats simply amaze us with their unique
beauty!
Don't get me wrong, I don't think we should choose a pet based on its look, but I still
want to pay tribute to these incredibly gorgeous cat breeds.
This is my top 10 list of the most beautiful cat breeds in the world!
10.
Burmese The Burmese cat is a bouncy ball of love!
These cats desperately seek affection and will do anything to get it!
Burmese cats can't be left alone for long, as they will get depressed and lonely.
They love you unconditionally and will go to any lengths to show it.
Besides being super affectionate, Burmese cats are highly intelligent and active.
These action-driven cats will delight you with their daring leaps.
The Burmese, known for its chocolate or champagne coat and intense eyes, has separated into
two breeds.
The European version is slender and comes in more colors but has the same adorable personality
traits.
9.
Bombay While some people think black cats bring bad
luck, I couldn't disagree more!
Luckily, the creators of this breed aren't superstitious as well, as this cat only comes
in black!
The Bombay cat looks and acts similarly to its ancestor, the Burmese.
Still, the Bombay cat is not as talkative as its close relatives.
Instead, it prefers to use its glowing eyes to let you know its needs.
Either way, Bombay cats are affectionate and love their owners deeply.
They thrive on human interaction and don’t refuse a good playtime session.
8.
Egyptian Mau This slim and graceful cat is beautiful and
pretty rare.
This is a shame, as Egyptian Maus probably originated 5000 years ago.
The Egyptians depicted lots of spotted cats in their drawings.
Moreover, Egyptian Maus almost went extinct after World War 2.
But make no mistake!
These cats have adorable personalities!
They're full of life, active, super-bright, always wanting to see what you're up to.
They love bringing small gifts to their owners, such as catnip mice, and can be offended if
you don't appreciate their efforts!
They come in three different colors, but all of them are spotted.
Egyptian Maus make great companions for lively people, and they're definitely a sight to
remember!
7.
Bengal This miniature leopard only looks wild but
is fully domesticated.
Bengals are the only cat breed sporting rosettes.
These cats are incredibly active, always looking for things to do.
If you fail to entertain them, Bengals become mischievous.
You should never underestimate these cats, as they're brilliant.
Still, they're worth the effort!
Bengal cats love spending time with their families.
And by spending time, I mean playing, of course!
They're always by your side and won't say no to a walk around your neighborhood.
You could say Bengals are the life of the party!
Bengals are huge outdoor lovers and thrive in a safe catio.
You won't have time to feel alone, but please consider this breed only if you can meet its
needs.

6.
British Shorthair I don't know about you, but I completely fell
victim to their chubby cheeks' appeal!
British Shorthairs, or Brits for short, are highly popular, and frankly, that's not a
surprise.
Their massive, round bodies and smiley faces make them look utterly adorable, and their
sweet demeanor only adds to this.
Brits are known for being laid-back, mellow, and obedient.
They're goofy and affectionate, but they're not very energetic.
Here’s a funny thing about them - they hate being picked up and are not afraid to show
it in their own fussy way.
British Shorthairs come in various colors and are famous for their dense and plush coats.
I think they're gorgeous, but I might be biased, as I have a British Shorthair mix, so I would
love to hear your opinion too!
And if you want one, don’t miss my video about them!
5.
Turkish Angora This cat is famous for its soft, semi-long,
and pure white coat!
Still, Turkish Angoras come in several colors and patterns.
The white odd-eyed Angoras are highly appreciated in their home country, as they're believed
to have been kissed by Allah.
These medium-sized and alert kitties are often mistaken by Turkish Vans.
Still, the two of them are entirely different breeds.
Besides their striking looks, Angoras are active, playful, and intelligent.
They can't be left alone for long, as they're social creatures that need your attention.
Turkish Angoras are indeed wonderful, but their numbers have significantly dropped upon
the arrival of Persian cats.
It's pretty hard to find one nowadays, but not impossible.
4.
Birman No, this isn't just another beautiful cat!
In the past, these cats carried the souls of passed Buddhist priests to heaven; at least,
that's what the legends say!
Whether this is true or not, one thing's for sure: Birmans were temple cats, highly appreciated
in their home country.
Birmans are colorpoint kitties, being white with dark extremities.
Their eyes are sapphire blue, and their long, silk-like coats are easy to groom.
Birmans are affectionate, gentle, and loyal companions.
They're friendly toward guests, while their sweet way of being makes them perfect for
families with kids.
In fact, Birmans are great even for busy people, as they're medium-sized and medium energy
cats.
I also have a video about them!
3.
Maine Coon The Maine Coon is so popular it's basically
impossible to not know this breed!
People love them not only because they're the largest cat breed but also for their bold
and majestic appearance.
Their strong rectangular jaws and high cheeks are the reason for that!
However, Maine Coons also charm us with their laid-back, affectionate, playful, and goofy
nature.
Their parents describe them as "big babies," and I couldn't agree more!
Maine Coons are so popular it’s hard to believe they almost went extinct at some point!
Go ahead and watch this video to learn everything about Maine Coons:
2.
Chinchilla and doll-faced Persian I gotta admit, I'm not a fan of the peke-faced
Persian Cats!
On the other hand, I find doll-faced Persians, Chinchillas included, to be absolutely stunning.
These cats are known for their sweet, laid-back temperaments and for being ultimate couch
potatoes!
There's nothing more Persians appreciate as a good old nap!
They usually rest in a comfy place near their parents.
Persian kitties are pretty amazing for families with kids, as they’re tolerant and well-behaved.
But don't get one just yet!
Persian kitties need lots of grooming, and you can learn all about them in this video:
1.
Ragdoll You don't even have to like cats to admit
these cats are gorgeous!
They're not only super fluffy, but they're also large and chubby!
Ragdolls mesmerize anyone with their intense blue eyes!
Setting their looks aside, Ragdolls can definitely bewitch anyone with their gentle, loving,
and laid-back demeanor.
Ragdolls are affectionately called floppy cats due to their super cute habit of sitting
on their backs and rolling around.
These cats aren’t very fond of exercising, so they’re great for busy people.
Don’t miss my Ragdoll one-oh-one video if you want one!
I think the lovable Ragdoll is the most beautiful cat breed in the world, but I would also love
to know what you think!
Tell me in the comments!
As I said at the beginning of the video, I don't advise you to get a cat based on its
looks.
It's crucial to make sure you can meet the cat's needs beforehand.
And I firmly believe the best option is adopting a cat, as many kitties desperately need a
loving home.
But if you're determined to get a pedigreed cat, then watch my video about the best cat
breeds for first time owners:
See you there!
