Which breed of cats to choose?
You will soon take the big step and welcome a cat in your home, a ball of fur that will fill your life for many years to come.
You find them all more beautiful than the others and it is not easy to choose which one will be part of your family.
So which cat breeds are more or less suited to your situation and your habits?
What is a purebred cat?
We speak of a purebred cat when it meets the standards set by the Official Book of Feline Origins (LOOF). Your animal will be considered a purebred cat and therefore will only have a pedigree if it is registered in this book. A cat with a pedigree will also see its price increase depending on its lineage.
Even if your future cat is not registered and looks like two drops of water like a purebred cat, it will only be considered an appearance cat.
But he won't necessarily be an alley cat! And yes the alley cat is a very particular breed of cat, it is also called European cat.
Be reassured all the same, cats of appearances and not registered LOOF remain very very close to their registered congener, as well on the physical point as psychological.
Which breed of cat should I choose?
Obviously, you have to find your cat to be handsome and therefore match your physique expectations.
But ask yourself equally important questions like:
- Are you looking for a calm or playful cat?
- An independent, cuddly, discreet or exuberant cat?
- Is your home suitable for this type of cat?
Thehabitat as well as the composition of the home is very important. For example, big cats like the Maine Coon, the Norwegian or British Longhair and Shorthair need space to play and go on an adventure and therefore a house. Conversely, Munchkin is a very small cat for whom an apartment will already be a very large area.
Even though the psychological characteristics vary from cat to cat, there is a great tendency in the temperament of cats. This point will influence the relationship you will have with your cat, it is important to know the character of the chosen cat breed.
For example the Persians are peaceful and non-invasive cats, it is a very well-known character trait of this breed and conversely the Chartreux is a very active cat.
