There are about 100 known cat breeds in the world. Some of these breeds are very old such as the Turkish Angora cat and, on the other hand, other breeds such as the Sphynx are more recent and are hardly known well. There is so much variety that it is difficult to know which of all the kittens can best suit us and our way of life, so it is important that before welcoming one at home you are clear about what you need and also what each cat needs.
If you live in a large house, you can enjoy having large cats, but if your apartment is on the small side, we recommend that you have a small cat before a large one so that you do not feel that you lack space. There are breeds of miniature cats such as the Singaporean, the Balinese or the Bombay . These cats hardly weigh more than four kilos and some even do not exceed a kilo and a half.
However, remember that the size of the cats can vary and sometimes there are bigger, smaller cats … We advise you that before buying a cat consider the option of going through a shelter or kennel and look at the mongrel kittens that live there waiting to have a home. Maybe some of the ones you see fit the characteristics you are looking for and want to take home.
On the other hand, if you are thinking of acquiring one of the breeds that you will see below, it is important that you know well the characteristics of this type of animal and that you have accurate information from both the seller and the origin of your future pet . And because? Because resolved that there have been many cases in which kittens are sold that have weaned prematurely or that do not give them a good diet. These animals suffer from developmental problems such as dwarfism and some people take advantage of it to sell them by passing them off as one of these breeds. Be careful and if you know a case, report it!
