===========================================================

In today's video, we are going to talk about the Top 10 Cats in the world.


The Cat Fanciers' Association, the world's largest registry of pedigree cats, has announced which cat breeds were most popular and the world's ten most popular cat breeds.

The ranking is based on the number of cats that were registered in 2019. CFA officially recognizes 45 pedigree breeds as well as "non-pedigree" companion cats.


Here's the List of the Top 10 Cats in the world.


10. Scottish Fold Cat.

Sweet-natured and demure, many Scottish fold cats have a feature unlike any other cat, folded ears that give the breed an owl-like appearance.

Scottish fold cats are known to possess an easy-going nature, and to be very loving and friendly with people and other household pets. This breed, outgoing and playful, tends to become particularly attached to one family member. The Scottish fold cat is also known for its soft voice and the ability to "speak" in a variety of different-sounding purrs and meows not commonly heard in many other cat breeds.


9. Sphynx Cat.

The Sphynx, a hairless, wrinkled wonder with big ears and eyes and pronounced cheekbones is one of the newer cat breeds. The first Sphynx was born in Canada in 19 66, according to the CFA. The lack of hair, a genetic anomaly, was a result of Mother Nature and occurs about once every 15 years.

Since this time, the Sphynx has been bred with traditional shorthair cats, and then bred back to hairless to create a genetically sound, healthy breed. The breed’s unique look has caught the eye of many cat lovers. Though rare, it has recently become one of the most in-demand cats in the U.S. The Sphynx is definitely a “people cat”. They are energetic, silly, and playful, and love to be the center of attention. The Sphynx is not an outdoor cat. Because their skin is exposed, Sphynx cats need to be protected from the elements. That doesn’t mean they can’t go outside; just that they should not live outdoors.


8. Abyssinian Cat.

Abyssinian, as they are lovingly called, are elegant and regal-looking, easy to care for, and make ideal pets for cat lovers.

Lively and expressive, with slightly wedge-shaped heads, half-cupped ears, medium length bodies, and well-developed muscles, Abyssinians have long, slender legs, and their coats are short and close-lying to their bodies. Their overall appearance bears a resemblance to ancient Egyptian cats. Abyssinians are not lapped cats but are affectionate, loyal, and normally mix well with children and other pets. Known for their curiosity, playfulness, and need to explore their surroundings, Abyssinians are people-oriented cats who like to participate in the activities taking place around them.


7. American Shorthair Cat.

The American shorthair cat has a reputation as “America’s breed”. The first cats of this type were brought over from Europe with early settlers.  Today, the American shorthair is a family favorite. It consistently ranks as one of the 10 most popular cat breeds. The breed is known to have a very even temperament with a good disposition and keen intelligence. 

These athletic critters are a direct descendant of the British shorthair, but they are much larger and leaner. They are a great cat breed to own for owners who are longing for an animal with a long lifespan, as they have been known to live for up to twenty years. So they’re a popular choice among families who want to give their kids a pet to grow up with.

Another testament to its mellow nature is the shorthair’s ability to get along with other pets and its gentle nature around children. They are easy-going and they are very low maintenance. Short hair is considered an ideal pet for a working family with children. Grooming is not problematic for this cat breed.


6. Devon Rex Cat.

The Devon Rex is a relatively newer breed of cats, discovered by accident in the region of Devonshire, England, in 19 60 and has been called many things: like a pixie cat, an alien cat, a cat that looks like an elf, or a bat. It is also known to behave more like a dog than like a cat.

With its unique appearance, the breed has captured the attention of cat lovers worldwide, and the hearts of its families with its lovable, quirky, and mischievous personality.
