Maine Coon, Persians and more: top 5 most popular cat breeds in the world

Today, there are about 600 million domestic cats in the world, and the variety of breeds reaches more than 70, according to the World Cat Federation. Each breed has its own unique traits, from appearance and size to personality and behavior. Jagran Josh writes about this.

Here is a list of some of the most popular cat breeds in the world:

Maine Coon: Known as the "gentle giants," these majestic cats are fascinating for their size, friendliness, and fluffy tails. They are native to Maine in the United States, hence their name.

Persian: They are easily recognizable by their long hair, round face, and calm disposition. Persian cats need regular grooming.

Siamese: These cats have a graceful body, unusual coat color, and almond-shaped eyes. Siamese are known for their talkative nature, intelligence, and love of games.

Bengal: Their "wild" leopard-like color and active nature make Bengal cats real favorites. These intelligent and playful cats need a lot of attention and play.

Sphynx: This hairless breed captivates with its unusual appearance and affectionate disposition. Sphynxes are more like dogs in behavior, as they love to cuddle and play.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing a cat:

• The size of your home: Some breeds, such as the Maine Coon, need a lot of space.

• Your activity level: If you lead an active lifestyle, a Bengal or Siamese cat may be right for you.
• Your experience with cat care: Some breeds, such as the Persian, require regular grooming.
