There are many breeds of cats, and like most people, you do not know much about a dozen or so.
To help you make the choice: Which breed of cat is best for you? Here are some useful information.
Do you want a cat that can be entertained and do no nonsense? So do not consider the Sphynx, the Rex, the Mandarin (British Angora) and the Siamese. These cats are energetic and seem to be in trouble.
For those looking for a cat to offer entertainment, these are a good choice. The Rex is an ‘idiot’ cat, he will try to amuse you.
There are also other important features to consider. For example, if you want a cat with long hair or short hair. Those who do not have time to groom their pet every day should not choose a long-haired cat.
Those who choose long hair should make the commitment to take care of their coat. If you do not do this, it can create entanglements. And, it can also pose a health risk.
