Oigin: Mixed-breed (mainly from Europe & North America)

American shorthair cats, several European shorthair cats, and British shorthair cats all exist. Domestic shorthair cats as a whole are by far the most popular cat breed worldwide. They have numerous different mixed-breed varieties rather than a single distinct origin. However, the majority of Shorthairs are genetic descendants of European and/or North American ancestors. Domestic shorthair cats are renowned and prized for being particularly independent and low-maintenance pets. They are among the world's smartest cats as well.

2. Persian Cat

Origin: Iran

One of the earliest domestic cats still in existence is the Persian cat. The Persian dog breed, which originated in what is now Iran, gained popularity across continents as a pet in the 17th century after being introduced to Europe by Italian traders. A unique characteristic among the offspring of the African wildcat, the parent of all domestic cats, Persian cats have extremely long fur coats. Their exquisite coats need continual care. However, aside from that, Persian cats are regarded as being kind, laid-back, and very tranquil pets. This explains their enduring appeal on a global scale.

3. Maine Coon

Maine Coon


Origin: United States

The Maine Coon's ancestors are the subject of numerous stories. Early beliefs incorrectly suggested that the Maine Coon was the offspring of a cat and raccoon hybrid (hence the name). In truth, a Domestic Shorthair and a long-haired Angora cat hybrid most likely gave rise to the Maine Coon. Maine, a state in the United States, is where the breed was initially made popular (hence the name). The Maine Coon then gained popularity during the 20th century throughout North America and even beyond.The breed is currently the third most popular worldwide and the second most popular in North America. The largest domestic cat breed is the Maine Coon. Adults can grow up to 48 inches (120 cm) long and up to 16 inches tall (41 centimeters). Maine Coons are renowned for being kind pets who get along well with children, unlike many other cats. Therefore, the breed is frequently referred to as "the dog among cats."


4. Ragdoll Cat

Ragdoll Cat

Origin: Unites States

In the 1960s, well-known American cat breeder Ann Baker created the Ragdoll cat. It shares the most genetic affinity with the Persian and Birman breeds. One of the biggest domestic cats in the world is the ragdoll. Ragdoll cats can weigh up to 15 pounds (7 kilogrammes) at full maturity for females and up to 20 pounds for males (9 kilogram). Ragdoll cats are quite docile and friendly toward people. Ragdolls detest being left alone, in contrast to more independent domesticated breeds like the Shorthair cat, and frequently accompany their owners from room to room. The Ragdoll is renowned for its enchanting voice as well. They unfortunately fall into the category of domestic cat breeds with the shortest lifespan, rarely living past the age of 15.


5.Abyssinian Cat

Abyssinian Cat

Origin: Ethiopia

Ethiopia, a country in Eastern Africa, is where the Abyssinian cat first appeared (which historically has also been known as Abyssinia, hence the name). The cat is thought to have been introduced to Europe in the middle of the 19th century by British seamen. The popularity of the Abyssinian spread fast throughout all of Europe and finally the entire world. The Abyssinian cat doesn't require a lot of maintenance because it has short hair. Abyssinians are recognised for having very extroverted, playful, and active personalities. They prefer to spend their days outside in the open rather than being confined to cramped dwellings. The IQ of Abyssinian cats is also exceptionally high compared to that of other cats.
