10 Most Beautiful Cat Breeds You’re Going To Love
We can all agree that cats are majestic and beautiful creatures, but there are some absolutely incredible ones among them that you’ve probably never even heard of. These gorgeous cats are also some of the most expensive in the world, which makes them an even greater rarity. Check out these 10 most beautiful cat breeds you’re going to love and will want to own.
1. Savannah Cat
This beautiful hybrid cat breed is a cross between a domestic cat and a serval, which is a type of African wild cat with a spotted coat. Most of these cats are an incredible orange-brown colour, however you can get silver-grey ones as well. Their unique coat makes them one of the most beautiful and expensive cats on the planet.
2. Norwegian Forest Cat
Originating in Northern Europe, this cat breed has got to be one of my personal favourites. I’m generally partial towards long-haired cats, but the Norwegian forest cats take it to a new level. They’ve got a super soft woolly undercoat, which makes them the perfect cuddle companions.
3. Birman
Also known as the sacred cat of Burma, the Birman is a beautiful long-haired cat with a luscious coat. They have deep blue eyes that contrast perfectly with their grey “socks” or “gloves” that are a very distinguishing part of their appearance. Their silky coat could easily rival that of the Norwegian cats, even though they come from a warm climate.
4. Maine Coon
Don’t like cats? Not a problem – this unique cat breed is more like a dog than a cat in so many ways. These affectionate and companionable felines are one of largest domesticated breeds in existence. They’ve got a very unique, wild-like appearance and some incredible hunting skills.
5. American Curl Cat
Who could have thought that curled ears would look good on a cat! This unusual American cat breed has very funky-looking ears that curl towards the back of their head. What’s even more remarkable is that these cats are actually born with straight ears, which then curl within two days, so you can watch the magic unfold right in front of your eyes.
6. Golden Scottish Straight
All Scottish straight cats are absolutely adorable, but the golden ones are something out of this world. They kind of look like fluffy toasted marshmallows – what could possibly be cuter than that! Their placid temperament and friendly character make them incredible pets to keep, especially considering how quickly they adjust to other animals.
7. Bengal Cat
This breed looks more like a wild animal than a domestic one. Developed to look like jungle cats, such as leopards and ocelots, the Bengal cats are definitely one of the most beautiful cats in the world. They are vocal, friendly, and extremely intelligent. We know you’ll absolutely love these magnificent cats.
8. Turkish Angora
Turkish Angora is a fascinating natural breed with a long history. Originating in central Turkey, these gorgeous cats have a beautiful white coat that is very soft to the touch. These cats are very playful and affectionate, but they often choose to focus on one particular family member, who they attempt to “help” in any way that they can.
9. Russian Blue
These gorgeous cats have very unusual coats that vary in colour from a light shimmering grey to a more metallic grey. Their sleek figures and green eyes make them extremely sought after for their beauty. Russian Blues also very affectionate and tend to form bonds with their owners very quickly.
10.Siamese
Probably one of the most distinctive cat breeds in the world, the Siamese are very beautiful and elegant creatures. Their recognisable colours – a light body with a black tail, feet, ears, and muzzle – make them one of the most popular Asian breeds. They’re also very friendly and enjoy interacting with humans and other cats alike.
