#1 Norwegian Forest
The prettiest cat in the world is likely the Skogkatt, called the Norwegian Forest in English-speaking countries.
The Sokoke Cat is the rarest domestic cat breed in the world, according to the UK's Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF). Originating from the forests of Sokoke in eastern Kenya, these cats were previously considered a hybrid breed of a cross between wild cats but DNA results have debunked this theory.
#1: Ragdoll
This large, longhaired cat with a plush coat is ranked No. 1 for the third year in a row. Ragdolls were first recognized as an official breed by CFA in 1998, and they come in 3 different patterns, all with piercing blue eyes and a calm disposition.
Like their cousin the Ragdoll, the Ragamuffin cat is one of the cuddliest breeds you can find. This silky-coated cat isn't just sought out for their looks, but for their friendliness and adaptability. They are great family pets because they love attention and are tolerant of children.
Orange tabby cats are usually male.
In fact, up to 80 percent of orange tabbies are male, making orange female cats a bit of a rarity. According to the BBC's Focus Magazine, the ginger gene in cats works a little differently compared to humans; it is on the X chromosome.
Gold Cat is a Super Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule when "Limited Edition" is part of the current pool. True Form added in Version 11.4 increases health and grants Wave Immunity.
Cream. This buff hue is considered one of the rarest cat colors out there, and it's quite beautiful with its soft white and hint of orange undertone.
(Congratulations to all dog lovers: puppies were generally found to be marginally cuter than kittens, with adult dogs also still slightly cuter than babies).
The votes are in and George the ragdoll is our winner with the blue-eyed beauty taking 31 per cent of the votes.
Garfield is an orange tabby cat of an unspecified breed. The official word from his creator, Jim Davis, is that Garfield isn't one particular breed or even based off of a singular cat. Some people theorize that he could be a Persian, British Shorthair, or Maine Coon.
Singapura is the smallest cat breed in the world. With a length of 9 to 12 inches and an average weight of 6 pounds, the Singapura is indeed the tiniest in the feline world. But don't be fooled by their size, they have a big personality and a playful temperament.
Female ginger cats are very rare because of genetics. The red colour is in fact dependent on the Orange gene with a dominant 'O' and a recessive 'o' gene. Its peculiarity is that it can only be transmitted by females.
While similar to yellow eyes (indeed, many breeds cross over into both colors), cats with gold eyes have more pigment-producing cells. The Abyssinian (pictured above), Burmese, Bombay, Bengal, American Shorthair, and Somali cats are just a few breeds known to have golden eyes.
Researchers found that only 17 to 22 percent of white cats with non-blue eyes are born deaf. The percentage rises to 40 percent if the cat has one blue eye, while upwards of 65 to 85 percent of all-white cats with both eyes blue are deaf. Some of these cats are deaf in only one ear.
Black Is the Most Common Feline Coat Color
It is not a glitch in the matrix; black is actually the most common coat color among felines. The gene for expressing eumelanin—the pigment needed to make black fur—is dominant in black cats. A cat usually gets two copies of a gene, one from mom and one from dad.
The actual, scientific fact of the matter is that most calicos and torties are female. There are some rare exceptions! According to a study by the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine, only about 1 in 3,000 calico cats are male!
Orange cats were regarded as the friendliest by respondents, while white cats were labeled aloof, and tortoiseshell cats were thought to have too much "attitude." The subject was revisited in a University of California Davis study a few years later.
Persian. The Persian is the most popular breed of cat in the US, and a top 10 most popular breed in the UK. Persians are the quintessential lap-cat. They are laid-back so may not demand your undivided attention, but will welcome affection gladly.
But, be prepared, not all cats are natural lap cats! Our kitties are independent creatures and will only spend time with you on their terms; so sometimes they may be happy to sit on your lap, and at others they may prefer to just sit close by, on a rug, or away on a high perch or hidden in their own company!
