Which is the prettiest cat breed? A team of researchers from All About Cats Rescue, a New York-based nonprofit organization, measured the facial features of 46 cat breeds (the most well-known breeds) and calculated how close the average proportions were for each breed of the cat. golden number , which is considered the most beautiful or harmonious proportion of all.
In their study, the researchers compiled a list of the 46 best-known cat breeds and obtained images of each’s faces from the Shutterstock stock photography service. They then measured a cat’s face in each photo to determine the proportion of several key features , including the length of the face, the width of the face, and the width of the nose, as well as the distances from the top of the head. up to the pupils of the eyes, from the pupils to the mouth and the tip of the nose, between the outer corners of the eyes, from the bottom of the ears to the pupils and from the chin to the mouth and tip of the nose . After collecting all of these measurements, they entered them into a special golden ratio calculator , which determined an average score for each breed. And a few breeds of cats came very close to this magic number.
They found Norwegian Forest, Russian Blue and Manx cats to be the most aesthetically appealing , with average ratio scores closer to the golden ratio of 1.62. In contrast, the least beautiful cats, mathematically speaking, were the Himalayas, the Peterbald, and the Persian cat.
